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.
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.
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.
