Tidy Up Your F103 Chassis with Teflon Pads

The Tamiya 53149 Teflon Friction Pad Set is produced for the F103 platform in Tamiya Formula 1 cars. The Teflon surfaces cut internal rubbing and help the chassis move with less resistance, useful for both competitive and recreational driving.

Built for Consistent Handling

This pad set replaces the factory D2 and D7 friction parts on the F103 chassis to lower internal drag and stabilise steering behaviour. Using Teflon helps reduce wear so tracking remains predictable over running sessions.

What You Get

Two outer Teflon friction pads - replaces stock part D2
One middle Teflon friction pad - replaces stock part D7

Are these pads suitable for heavily tuned F103 cars?

They suit most tuned F103 cars that retain the standard friction pad locations. If you have custom mounts or altered stack heights double check measurements before fitting.

Will using Teflon change handling balance?

Teflon lowers internal resistance which can sharpen steering feel and make responses more consistent, but it does not change suspension geometry or ride height.

How often should I check the pads?

Inspect pads during routine maintenance. Clean off grit and debris and replace them if you notice uneven wear or degraded sliding performance.

Are any lubricants recommended?

Keep the sliding surfaces clean; light dry PTFE-compatible lubricants can be used sparingly but avoid oily greases that attract dirt.
