Tamiya TA05 Front Chassis Stiffener Aluminium - TA05-IF12/LB by 3Racing  [TA05-IF12/LB]

TA05 front reinforcement overview

This aluminium front stiffener is made for Tamiya TA05-IFS and TA05-R cars and carries model number TA05-IF12/LB. It reinforces the front chassis area to modify flex characteristics that affect steering accuracy and mid-corner stability.

Compatibility is limited to the TA05-IFS and TA05-R family as stated in the product name. Use this component only for model-level setup work; it is not a part for road or full-size vehicle application.

Fitting is simple for anyone used to basic RC servicing. Remove the body clips and front mounting pieces to expose the chassis web, position the stiffener, and attach it using the original fasteners. Check alignment and tighten progressively to prevent twisting the chassis.

In practical setup terms, adding the front stiffener alters front stiffness and is useful for dialing out mild understeer or fine tuning turn-in response when used with spring and damper changes. Results are incremental and work best when combined with suspension adjustments.
