Upgrade Your TA04 with a Strong Aluminium Front Mount

The Tamiya 53617 - TA04 65mm Aluminum Front Body Mount is engineered to boost the durability and fit of your TA04 chassis. It swaps out the factory nylon mounts for precision aluminium, and is compatible with TRF414M, TB-EVOII, and TB-EVOIII chassis styles. At 65mm long and finished in light blue, it combines a tidy look with a tougher mounting solution.

Why Aluminium Makes Sense for Shell Mounts

Aluminium gives reliable strength without adding excessive mass, reducing the chance of broken mounts during rough use. Choosing aluminium over plastic means fewer mid-race failures and steadier body retention when driving hard.

Practical Tips for Mounting the Part

Carefully mark and drill the body shell holes to match the new mount positions so you get a flush, secure fit. The light blue finish also helps you identify the mounts quickly during setup and post-run inspections.

It replaces stock nylon posts in function, but you should verify hole spacing on your specific shell and make any minor adjustments for exact alignment.
Anodised finishes are durable, but like any surface finish they will show wear over time, especially where tools contact the part. Normal use and maintenance will keep them looking good.
Standard body mounting screws are normally fine; check length to ensure they do not bottom out or interfere with chassis components.
You can repaint aluminium parts, but use paint suitable for metal and consider that coatings may change fit slightly. Mask mounting holes before finishing.
