Refine Steering Response with Tamiya 54580 Carbon Hub Carrier

Hobbyists aiming for crisper steering will find the Tamiya 54580 carbon reinforced hub carrier useful. Its built-in 4-degree caster works with short reversible suspension arm systems to deliver steadier corner entry on technical tracks.

Main Features

Compatibility: Engineered to clear double-cardan swing shafts so movement is free and reliable.
Caster Detail: The 4-degree caster increases front-end accuracy, which helps on tighter, slower corners.
Arm Compatibility: Intended for use with Tamiya Item 53928 Short Reversible Suspension Arm set to make fitting straightforward.

Where It Fits

Suitable for a variety of Tamiya models such as TB-03, TB-04, TA-05, TA-06, FF-03, TRF 416 and 417. It provides a compact way to tweak handling without extensive chassis modification.

Is the 4-degree caster adjustable?

No. This hub carrier has a fixed 4-degree caster. If you need variable caster you would look for adjustable hub options or modify the suspension geometry.

Will it fit my TB-04 without changes?

It is listed as compatible with TB-04 and similar platforms when used with the short reversible arms. Verify clearances around steering linkages before final assembly.

Any maintenance tips after fitting?

Check bolt torque after a few runs, inspect for play at the swing shaft, and keep contact points clean to preserve smooth steering action.
