Trim Mechanical Drag on FS-12FZ/FN Engines with Tamiya 54778

The Tamiya 54778 FS-12FZ/FN back plate swaps out the recoil starter to reduce parasitic loss and allow the engine to run with fewer hindrances. O-rings and fixing screws are packed with the part for straightforward fitting.

Vehicle Fit and Starting Requirements

Suitable for models running the FS-12FZ or FN engines, especially TG-10 MK.II platforms. Note that once the recoil starter is removed you will require a starter box to turn the engine over.

Does this back plate improve throttle feel?

By cutting out the recoil mechanism the engine encounters less rotating resistance, which often translates to crisper throttle response.

What tools are recommended for installation?

Basic hand tools, a torque driver for screws, and a starter box for initial runs are the essentials to complete the swap.

Is the part reversible if I want the recoil back?

Reinstalling the original recoil requires the stock parts; keep removed components safe if you may revert to the factory setup.

Will this affect engine cooling or airflow?

The back plate does not alter the cooling passages; it is focused on starter removal and sealing rather than airflow changes.
