Tamiya F104 T-Bar 1.8mm Front Stiffener F104-07/18/FG by 3Racing  [F104-07/18/FG]

Role of the F104 T-bar and fitting notes

This is an RC-scale T-bar designed for Tamiya F104 chassis, supplied as a hop-up item by 3Racing under model F104-07/18/FG. It replaces the stock bar to alter lateral stiffness at the front, affecting steering feel and initial turn-in while leaving suspension geometry unchanged.

The 1.8mm thickness increases front-end rigidity over thinner options, reducing flex and sharpening steering feedback. Expect controlled, progressive handling adjustments rather than extreme shifts; this component is used alongside other setup tweaks to fine-tune balance on club-level carpet or asphalt tracks.

Fitting follows normal kit procedures: remove the factory unit, mount this T-bar to the original points, and confirm clearance around the servo linkages and steering assembly. Because fitment can vary with F104 kit versions and previous changes, double-check alignment before final tightening and bench-test at limited steering throw to ensure smooth operation.
