Dial in sharper steering with Tamiya 51620 uprights

These Tamiya 51620 uprights are intended to refine the handling of M-08 RWD M-Chassis kits. They are aimed at hobbyists seeking tighter steering and steadier high-speed tracking.

Contents and caster detail

The kit supplies two sprues containing both front and rear uprights, hub carriers and adapters. The hub carriers are machined to introduce a 2-degree caster angle that improves steering precision and straight-line stability.

Which chassis fit these parts

Compatible with M-07 and M-08 Concept chassis, this set is a practical upgrade for owners of multiple M-series cars. The parts install cleanly with common tools and simple instructions.

Will these uprights work with aluminium hop-ups?

Yes. The Tamiya 51620 uprights integrate with many aluminium hop-up components, but check clearances and fastener lengths when mixing parts from different suppliers.

Does caster affect on-track lap times?

A small caster change like 2 degrees can make steering more consistent, which may help lap times by reducing mid-corner corrections. Track testing is the best way to quantify gains.

Is special maintenance required for these uprights?

Keep pivot points clean and lightly greased where metal contacts plastic. Regular inspection for play and secure fasteners will preserve handling performance.
