Steering Control Upgrade with Tamiya 54148

For those looking to refine the steering performance of their DB01 chassis, Tamiya offers a practical upgrade with the 54148 blue anodized aluminum steering posts. These posts are lighter than the stock steel items and deliver improved durability, making them a good option for hobbyists focused on sharper steering control.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Tamiya 54148 steering posts are designed to fit TRF501X, TRF511, and any DB01 chassis. Replacing the original steel posts trims about 1.6g from the front end, which can tighten turn-in and improve handling for track sessions or casual running.

Fitting and Care

When fitting the aluminum steering posts, make sure the mounting faces are clean and free of debris to maintain smooth operation. No special tools are required; handle the anodized finish with care and tighten fasteners evenly to secure a snug fit.

Can these steering posts be fitted to other Tamiya kits?

They are engineered for TRF501X, TRF511 and the DB01 platform. Other models may require modifications or different mounting hardware to fit correctly.

Will swapping to aluminium noticeably change steering feel?

The reduced mass at the front usually yields crisper steering response and improved handling, particularly on prepared surfaces or during lap-based practice.

How should I look after the anodized finish?

Wipe parts clean after use, avoid abrasive cleaners and check screws after a few runs to protect the finish and maintain proper fitment.
