Upgrade Steering Response on TRF501X

The Tamiya 51273 - TRF501X Delrin caster block is designed to increase steering precision and stand up to regular track use. Made from high-grade Delrin, these blocks reduce contact wear and keep steering inputs feeling direct and consistent. The discrete gray tone blends with factory parts for a neat, functional upgrade.

What Delrin Brings to the Table

Delrin is prized for strong mechanical properties and low surface friction, which helps suspension components move smoothly. Incorporating Delrin into the caster block helps minimise slop and extend service intervals between replacements.

Fitment Suited to Racing Setups

Engineered for the TRF501X chassis, these caster blocks slot into existing mounting points for quick swaps. Whether you are trying new handling settings or replacing tired components, the Tamiya 51273 - TRF501X block keeps steering geometry predictable for tuning sessions.

Will the Delrin blocks affect overall weight much?

Delrin components are similar in weight to common plastic parts and will not noticeably change vehicle balance. Their benefit is mainly reduced wear and smoother movement.

Do these blocks require lubrication?

Delrin typically performs well without grease, but keep mating surfaces clean and dry. If you run in dusty conditions, a light cleaning schedule will help preserve smooth action.

Can I match these with aluminium carriers?

Delrin blocks can be used with aluminium carriers, but check for proper contact and clearance. Ensure hardware torque is suitable so the softer Delrin is not overly compressed.

How do they handle on low-grip surfaces?

The low-friction surface of Delrin helps maintain consistent steering feedback on slippery or mixed grip surfaces, aiding predictable control while you tune other setup items.
