Add rear ballast for improved F104 stability

The Tamiya 54281 RC Heavy Pivot Post is a useful modification for hobbyists seeking firmer rear-end behavior on F104 and F104 PRO chassis. At 25.5g the steel pivot post is heavier than aluminium versions, delivering more rigidity and better rear traction, especially with a lightweight Li-Fe pack installed.

Installation and expected results

This pivot post is manufactured to fit F104 and F104 PRO chassis configurations and enhances stability during rapid direction changes and high speed sections. The steel build also offers long term durability for regular track use.

Will this part fit stock F104 components?

Yes, the Tamiya 54281 is made to match the stock F104 and F104 PRO mounting points, so it should install without altering other components.

Should I change other setup items after fitting this post?

You may want to tweak rear springs, camber or toe to rebalance handling once the heavier pivot post is fitted, as the rear grip characteristics will change.

Is the steel post prone to wear compared to aluminium?

Steel is tougher and resists deformation, but inspect contact points and fasteners regularly and apply light lubricant where metal meets metal to extend service life.
