Stiffen Up Your DF-02 With the Tamiya 53865 Steering Link

Replace the plastic tie with the Tamiya 53865 DF-02 Aluminum Steering Link to get firmer steering feel and long lasting service. Machined aluminum reduces flex and warping under load, while the built-in press fit bearing improves steering input and centering. This is a straightforward upgrade for racers and weekend drivers looking for more consistent control and reliability.

Will the Tamiya 53865 fit all DF-02 kits out of the box?

Yes, this part is made to the DF-02 specification and installs in standard DF-02 steering assemblies without custom modification on stock builds.

How does aluminum improve steering performance?

Aluminum resists bending and maintains geometry better than molded parts, which helps deliver more precise steering response and consistent toe angles during use.

Do I need special tools to fit this link?

Basic hand tools are enough for installation. A small hex driver and pliers are typically all you need to swap the steering link and seat the press fit bearing securely.
