Upgrade kit to tighten TT-02 Type-S steering

This Tamiya 54965 set replaces factory plastic steering hardware with machined aluminium pieces to reduce flex and improve steering consistency. It is aimed at drivers who want a firmer front end for club racing or spirited backyard sessions.

What the kit contains and why it helps

  • Aluminum Steering Bridge: Long tie-rod configuration gives steadier steering actuation under load.
  • Aluminum Steering Arms: Supplied for both sides to keep steering forces balanced.
  • Reinforced Adjusters: Open face style for straightforward adjustments while tuning.
  • Aluminum Steering Posts: Strong posts that support the steering mechanism and resist impact damage.
  • Turnbuckle Shafts: Two 3x38mm and one 3x42mm shaft included for precise linkage lengths.
  • Complete Installation Kit: Mounting screws and small parts are included so you can fit the set quickly.
  • Enhanced Durability: New post placement reduces common wear points for longer service life.

Who should fit this set

Intended for TT-02 Type-S chassis owners wanting firmer steering response and a more durable front end. It is a direct replacement that helps maintain predictable handling during track or practice use.

No trimming is normally required for TT-02 Type-S installs. The parts are designed to replace the stock steering components directly.
Yes, the kit works alongside common aftermarket turnbuckles and links, provided dimensions match. The included shafts cover standard setups.
Servicing is similar to stock components. Aluminium is durable but inspect for stripped threads or impact damage and replace fasteners if needed.
Stiffer steering parts transmit more input to the tyres. With softer tyres you may notice a change in front-end feedback that can be tuned via toe and camber settings.
