Tamiya TA05-IFS Lightweight Front Stiffener Aluminium - TA05-IF12/LB by 3Racing  [TA05-IF12/LB]

TA05 front stiffener for precise handling

This aluminium front stiffener suits Tamiya TA05-IFS and TA05-R chassis and is listed as TA05-IF12/LB. It targets the front section of the chassis to change flex behaviour that influences steering response and mid-corner grip.

Compatibility is limited to the TA05-IFS and TA05-R family as stated in the product name. The stiffener is intended for model-scale tuning at the track or practice venue and is not applicable to full-size vehicles.

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with RC upkeep. Remove the front body mounts and components to access the chassis web, insert the stiffener in the correct position, and secure using the existing mounting points. Use the right hex driver and check fit before final torque to avoid stressing the chassis.

From a tuning viewpoint, increasing front chassis stiffness with this part lets you refine understeer and oversteer balance in small steps. Combine changes with suspension and steering setup adjustments to achieve the desired handling feel.
