Aluminium kingpin to sharpen steering transitions

The Yokomo SD-414TA is an RC-scale aluminium light weight kingpin intended to take the place of the stepped screw that secures the front knuckle. Its reduced mass at the steering pivot helps the knuckle react more quickly while retaining the standard mounting interface, so swapping it in is straightforward for drivers refining steering response on drift builds.

Fitment is straightforward: extract the original stepped screw and flange, install the supplied hard-coated flange, then secure the knuckle with the included titanium button-head screws. Because the kit preserves the original knuckle geometry, roll center and ackermann are left unchanged, allowing steering feel to be tuned through suspension and alignment settings rather than altering link positions.

In practical tuning the SD-414TA provides a small drop in rotational inertia at the steering axis, improving initial turn-in and transition reaction. It pairs well with adjustments to caster, toe, and shock settings and is intended to add refinement rather than overhaul handling character.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will this change the roll center or ackermann?

No. The SD-414TA keeps the factory knuckle geometry, so roll center and ackermann remain the same. Any steering changes come from reduced inertia at the pivot, not altered geometry.

Is there a recommended maintenance routine for the flange?

Inspect the hard-coated flange periodically for wear, especially after heavy sessions. Clean and lightly lubricate the pivot area as part of your routine to maintain smooth steering action.

How noticeable will the handling change be on track?

Expect subtle but useful gains in transition speed and turn-in crispness. Real-world impact depends on the rest of your setup; pair with suspension tweaks for best results.
