Stiffen rear pivot for tighter cornering

The Tamiya 54281 RC Heavy Pivot Post is a solid upgrade for enthusiasts aiming to refine handling on F104 and F104 PRO cars. Weighing 25.5g, the steel construction is heavier than aluminium options, helping to increase rear traction and reduce unwanted chassis flex when using a Li-Fe battery.

Where it fits and when to use it

Designed to slot into F104 and F104 PRO chassis layouts, this pivot post enhances stability in quick direction changes and on bumpy sections. Its robust steel build supports consistent handling across practice and race sessions.

Can I fit this to a modified F104 chassis?

If your modifications preserve the standard pivot post mounting points used by F104 and F104 PRO, the Tamiya 54281 will fit. Custom mounts may need adaptation.

Does the weight change handling on loose surfaces?

The extra weight shifts load rearwards, which can improve traction on low-grip surfaces and stabilise rear-end hops during acceleration.

Maintenance advice for a steel pivot post?

Inspect for corrosion and keep mating surfaces clean. A light dab of grease on the contact area helps prevent wear without affecting handling.
