Improve Turn-In with the Front One-Way Housing

The Tamiya 51059 Front One-Way Housing provides a simple way to refine the Tamiya TRF415 chassis. By allowing the front wheels to rotate freely in one direction, it helps smooth front-end reactions during directional changes.

Practical Impact on Handling

When installed, the one-way housing can let the front drivetrain disengage on deceleration, which often results in more predictable corner entry and reduced understeer when tuned alongside other suspension settings.

Compatibility Advice and Fitment

Designed for the TRF415 platform, this housing matches the chassis geometry for a clean fit. The installation process is accessible for those comfortable with standard RC maintenance.

Can I use this with different gear ratios?

Yes, it works with a range of gear ratios but expect the front behaviour to change with different pinion and spur combinations. Test on the bench before racing.

Will it help on loose or dusty tracks?

The one-way action can aid cornering stability on varied surfaces, but traction and tyre choice will still be the dominant factors on loose tracks.

Should I change my front differential after fitting?

You may need to re-evaluate diff oil and suspension setup to balance the front one-way behaviour with the rear end. Small adjustments often yield the best results.

Is regular maintenance required?

Inspect the housing and pawls periodically for wear and clean any grit to keep the mechanism reliable, especially after running in dirty conditions.
