Tune the RM-01 rear end with fluorine coated pivot balls

The Tamiya 51485 - RM-01 Fluorine Coated Pivot Ball Set is tailored for the RM-01 chassis to deliver lower friction and tougher surface wear for the rear suspension. These parts mount in the side links and centre pivot to keep tracking steady during technical driving and fast laps.

Why the fluorine finish matters

Fluorine coating cuts friction at moving joints and reduces friction-related wear. Adding these pivot balls helps the RM-01 respond more reliably under load and keeps the suspension feeling smoother. The package contains five pivot balls, making it handy for servicing or replacing worn components.

The coating lowers sticking, so heavy greasing is not required. If you use lubrication, choose a light, compatible oil and apply sparingly.
They are intended for the RM-01 rear side links and centre pivot. Front fitment depends on matching the pivot dimensions, so verify fit before swapping locations.
Check pivot balls during regular maintenance or if you notice play or uneven suspension movement. Replace them when signs of wear or looseness appear.
Yes, reduced friction can make the suspension feel smoother and more consistent, which helps with predictable responses through corners.
