Convert Your TB-03VDS to Ackerman Geometry

The Tamiya 84207 Ackerman Steering Set converts the TB-03VDS from a parallel steering arrangement to Ackerman, giving drivers more control when running non-drifting lines. It is a practical upgrade for those tuning steering behaviour for grip driving.

Kit Contents and Compatibility

Aluminum Steering Link: Delivers dependable, precise steering motion.
Aluminum Steering Arm (Left & Right): Left and right arms included to preserve balanced steering geometry.
Additional Parts: Comes with 3x8mm screws, 3x0.2mm shims, and 3x1.0mm spacers for secure mounting.
Compatibility: Specifically intended for the TB-03 VDS Drift Spec Chassis Kit 54250.
Installation Note: A 3x42mm Aluminum Turnbuckle Shaft is required but sold separately.

Benefits for Grip-Oriented Driving

Fitting this Ackerman set helps the TB-03VDS turn with reduced understeer when driven on traction surfaces, improving lap consistency. The aluminum construction resists wear, keeping steering feel stable over time.

How does Ackerman affect cornering on high grip surfaces?

Ackerman steering alters the inside and outside wheel angles to improve turn entry and reduce scrubbing on high grip surfaces, which helps maintain a cleaner turn arc.

Is any wiring or electronics change required?

No electronics changes are necessary; this is a mechanical steering geometry conversion that uses the existing servo and linkage path.

Will these parts increase steering wear?

On the contrary, the aluminum arms and link are more durable than many stock plastic parts, so they can reduce wear-related play in the steering system.
