Tamiya F104 1.8mm Front T-Bar Performance Upgrade F104-07/18/FG by 3Racing  [F104-07/18/FG]

Purpose and fitting for the F104 T-bar

This RC T-bar is intended for Tamiya F104 chassis applications and is sold as a hop-up part, model F104-07/18/FG, from 3Racing. It is a simple upgrade or replacement that adjusts lateral front stiffness, changing steering feel and initial turn-in without modifying suspension geometry.

Choosing the 1.8mm section increases front stiffness compared with thinner bars, which helps limit unwanted flex and yields a sharper steering response. Expect gradual handling refinement rather than abrupt changes; this is one tuning piece among several used to tune balance on carpet or asphalt club tracks.

Installation is standard kit work: remove the original T-bar, install this item on the same mounting points, and verify there is adequate clearance around servo linkages and steering parts. As fitment can differ by F104 kit version and prior modifications, check alignment before final torque and bench-test at low steering travel to prevent binding.
