Steering Geometry Upgrade for TB-03VDS

The Tamiya 84207 Ackerman Steering Set swaps the TB-03VDS parallel steering for an Ackerman arrangement to improve steering predictability when not drifting. It is targeted at drivers seeking steadier corner entry and exit.

What the Kit Contains

Aluminum Steering Link: Provides rigid, precise steering input translation.
Aluminum Steering Arm (Left & Right): Both arms included to ensure even steering performance across the front end.
Additional Parts: Supplied with 3x8mm screws, 3x0.2mm shims and 3x1.0mm spacers for correct assembly.
Compatibility: Specifically compatible with the TB-03 VDS Drift Spec Chassis Kit 54250.
Installation Note: Requires a separately sold 3x42mm Aluminum Turnbuckle Shaft.

Expected Handling Improvements

When fitted, the Ackerman setup helps the TB-03VDS reduce unwanted steering wander during grip driving, giving drivers a more controllable front end. The aluminium parts are intended to hold alignment under repeated running.

Is the 3x42mm turnbuckle shaft absolutely required?

Yes, the correct length 3x42mm Aluminum Turnbuckle Shaft is needed to achieve proper Ackerman geometry and is not included with the kit.

Will this kit affect tyre wear?

By improving wheel angles during cornering, Ackerman geometry can lead to more even tyre contact and potentially more consistent tyre wear in non-drift use.

Can I tune steering feel after installation?

Yes, you can further refine handling with servo endpoints, dual-rate and toe settings; the mechanical upgrade sets the starting geometry for these adjustments.
