Precision Steering Posts Tamiya 54148

Hobbyists wanting crisper steering can fit the Tamiya 54148 blue anodised aluminium steering posts to a DB01 chassis. They cut down weight versus steel and hold up well to regular use, helping maintain accurate steering over time.

What They Fit

The 54148 posts are compatible with TRF501X, TRF511 and DB01 chassis. Swapping the factory steel posts saves about 1.6g, which can improve balance and responsiveness during lap work or club events.

Installation Notes

Before installing, clear dirt and burrs from the mount points to ensure a clean fit. No specialised tools are required, but careful handling will preserve the anodised coating and ensure proper seating.

Yes, their lighter weight and tougher finish make them a sensible upgrade for club racing and track practice without major setup changes.
They generally use the same mounting points as stock posts, so existing screws often work, but always verify screw length and thread engagement before final assembly.
Aluminium resists permanent bend better than thin steel posts and the anodised layer helps protect the surface; still inspect for dents after heavy knocks.
