Upgrade GF-01 and WR-02 Chassis Rigidity with Tamiya 54597

The Tamiya 54597 Aluminium Gear Case Support is designed for GF-01 and WR-02 chassis to strengthen the frame and help prevent dust entry into the gear case. Its compact aluminium construction and blue anodised finish combine practical reinforcement with tidy aesthetics.

Solid Construction and Gear Protection

Produced from robust aluminium, this support stiffens the chassis section where it is fitted, reducing flex and helping to preserve correct gear mesh. The added rigidity benefits handling and provides a simple shield against grime reaching internal gears.

Fitment Details and User Guidance

Fits GF-01 and WR-02 chassis variants. Each kit contains a single support piece; two are recommended for both front and rear reinforcement. Installation is straightforward for most hobbyists and requires only standard RC tools.

Will this support change vehicle handling characteristics?

Adding stiffness where needed typically reduces unpredictable chassis twist, which can improve consistency in handling. Expect a firmer feel rather than dramatic handling changes.

How many supports should I buy for balanced reinforcement?

One support is supplied per pack. For balanced front and rear reinforcement you should purchase two packs so both ends benefit from reduced flex.

Can this part be used with aftermarket chassis mods?

Yes, it integrates with common GF-01 and WR-02 layouts. Check mounting points and clearance when using large-scale modifications or thickened chassis plates.

Does the anodised finish require special care?

Routine cleaning and drying after dusty or wet use keeps the anodised finish looking good. Avoid harsh abrasives that could wear the surface over time.

Are any extra parts included for installation?

The pack includes the single aluminium support. Use existing chassis fasteners where possible; have spare screws or washers available if your particular setup requires them.
