Improve turn accuracy on the TA05-VDF with the Tamiya 84150 Ackerman kit

RC pilots aiming for better front grip will find the Tamiya 84150 Ackerman Steering swaps the stock parallel geometry for a setup that lets each front wheel steer at an appropriate angle. The result is crisper turn-in and improved control through tighter corners.

What comes in the box

Steering Connector Rod: Keeps linkages tight and steering inputs precise.
FF-03 Steering Arm (Right): Right-hand steering arm for correct Ackerman geometry.
TB-03 Steering Arm (Left): Left-hand steering arm to match the right side for symmetric movement.
Metal Parts Bag: Packed with screws, washers, ball connectors, and shims for a secure build.

Compatibility notes and required items

This steering assembly only fits the TA05-VDF chassis (Item 84132). You will also need the 3x42mm Aluminum Turnbuckle Shaft (Item 54250) which is supplied separately. Gather the turnbuckle and basic workshop tools before you begin.

Can I use this on other Tamiya touring cars?

The geometry and mounting points are specific to the TA05-VDF, so other models will likely need modifications to fit.

Are special tools required to fit the kit?

No specialised tools are needed beyond common hobby tools; however a small spanner for the turnbuckle and thread lock are useful for a reliable installation.

Will it change steering sensitivity?

Yes, Ackerman alters front wheel angles during turn-in which can make steering feel more predictable; fine-tune servo endpoints and toe settings after fitting.

Does the kit include the turnbuckle?

No, the 3x42mm Aluminum Turnbuckle Shaft (Item 54250) is sold separately and is required to complete the installation.
