Dial in XV-02 steering with the 6 degree caster block

The Tamiya 51698 XV-02 D Parts provide a 6 degree caster option aimed at improving steering accuracy and mid-corner stability. This component is useful for hobbyists who want consistent handling across practice and race runs, and it fits multiple Tamiya chassis platforms.

What a 6 degree caster delivers

Adding 6 degrees of caster helps the front end track straighter and enhances steering rebound after a turn. Drivers notice tighter cornering lines and steadier behaviour when pushing through complex sections of a circuit.

Which models it pairs with and setup notes

Compatible chassis include TD2, TD4, XV-01, XV-01T, XV-01 PRO and XV-02 PRO. When fitting, verify steering geometry and check that ball studs and bearings rotate freely. Refer to the Tamiya R/C Parts Matching List for exact fitment details.

Yes, it is straightforward and can make steering more predictable for those learning chassis balance. Keep other settings stock while you assess the change.
Basic hand tools and a torque driver are usually enough. Use a small thread locker on steel screws if you run on rough tracks to avoid loosening.
Yes, you can combine it with alternative steering arms to fine tune roll center and steering ratio, but always test changes incrementally to find the best balance.
