Fine tuning the F104 Ver.II with the Tamiya 54576 carbon damper mount

Hobby drivers seeking a cleaner steering response on the F104 Ver.II can use the Tamiya 54576 carbon damper mount plate to alter the pitch damper location. That change improves front end feedback and helps the car track more predictably through corners.

Core advantages of the carbon damper mount

Material: Carbon fibre construction offers a good stiffness to weight ratio for on-track performance.
Compatibility: Designed to match the F104 Ver.II chassis without additional modification in most builds.
Installation: Includes small mounting parts so you can bolt it on with minimal fuss.

Practical fitting pointers

Tighten fixings evenly and inspect the mounting after a few laps to ensure nothing has shifted. Minor damper or spring changes might be needed to dial in the new behaviour.

Will fitting this plate make the car more twitchy?

It sharpens steering input which can feel livelier; adjusting damper settings will help stabilise the chassis.

Is this suitable for beginners to install?

Installation is straightforward for most builders who are comfortable handling small screws and simple alignment checks.

Does the plate require special care?

Treat carbon parts like other composite components: avoid hard impacts and inspect regularly for any signs of damage.

Can this be used for competitive racing setups?

Many racers use lightweight tuning parts like this to refine handling; compatibility with your setup will depend on overall chassis and damper choices.

What should I check after the first session?

Recheck all screws for tightness, inspect for any fretting or movement, and note any setup changes you made so you can replicate or reverse them.
