About the weight block and its purpose

The Tamiya 54440 suspension weight block replaces the kit N3 block on TRF201 and DN-01 chassis with a metal unit set at a 5 degree angle. That fixed orientation moves mass toward the front, helping to improve front wheel contact and making skid transitions more consistent.

The kit includes the suspension plate and the two bushings required for a direct swap. With an approximate weight of 30g, the block is intended for model-scale tuning of suspension geometry rather than any full-scale application.

Specifications

  • Item Suspension Block (5 degree) x1, Suspension Plate x1, Suspension Bushing x2
  • Material Metal
  • Model Number 54440
  • Compatibility TRF201, DN-01
  • Weight Approx. 30g

Fit this block when you want a straightforward, reversible change to front-end balance on TRF201 or DN-01 packages; always check handling on your usual tracks and tweak other suspension settings as required.

What is the recommended installation procedure?

Remove the kit N3 block, fit the supplied suspension plate and bushings, then secure the 54440 block in the same mounting points. Follow standard torque settings and check alignment after fitting.

Will I need special tools to fit it?

No special tools are required beyond basic hobby tools: small hex drivers, needle-nose pliers, and a thread-locker if you prefer. The part fits the existing mounting hardware for TRF201 and DN-01.

How should I retune springs and dampers after installing?

Start with small adjustments: try a slightly firmer front spring or increase front damping to control additional traction, then fine-tune using lap time and feel as a guide.

Is the block robust enough for regular club running?

Yes. Constructed from metal, the block and supplied hardware are suitable for routine hobby use, though inspect fittings periodically after high-impact sessions.
