Fine-Tune TB-01 Steering with the Tamiya 53590 One-Way

The Tamiya 53590 Front One-Way Cup Joint is designed for TB-01 chassis pilots aiming for crisper steering and steadier cornering. The component helps manage front wheel rotation under braking and initial turn-in, delivering a more controlled feel through bends.

How It Improves Corner Work

By letting the front wheels rotate independently in the specified direction, the one-way joint reduces unwanted resistance and helps the chassis settle into the line. This can reduce nervousness on turn entry and give drivers clearer feedback from the front tyres.

Fitment Notes and Setup

The cup joint fits the TB-01 without heavy modifications and integrates with the stock steering gear. Basic setup checks after installation will ensure the angle and linkage geometry remain correct for your preferred handling style.

Excellent service, dispatched the next day, arrived within time stated.
Yes, it is intended for TB-01 platforms including common touring conversions, though final clearance should be checked if your steering or suspension geometry has been heavily altered.
Expect a subtle shift in front-end behaviour that can alter tyre scrub patterns slightly. Proper setup will minimise unwanted wear while improving stability in many track settings.
No specialist tools are required beyond basic hex drivers and pliers. A clean workspace and patience make the job straightforward.
Periodic inspection and light cleaning are recommended, especially after dusty or wet running. Keep an eye on play and lubricate per the chassis guidelines to retain smooth action.
