Stiffen Your Front End with Tamiya 54697 Rigid Suspension Mount 05D

For racers seeking crisper steering and greater stability, the Tamiya 54697 Rigid Separate Suspension Mount 05D is a strong upgrade. Made to replace the factory plastic mounts on TRF419, TRF419X and TB EVO 6 style chassis, these aluminium parts raise suspension rigidity and tighten handling feel.

Precision Roll Center Adjustment

The mounts provide a 4.5mm roll center setting, which is 0.5mm lower than some other options, allowing more precise front-end tuning. This change helps racers dial in predictable behaviour through corners and is best applied to front suspension setups.

Where It Fits and How to Use It

The Tamiya 54697 parts are compatible with TRF419, TRF419X, EVO 6 and TA-07 chassis, and work well as a direct plastic-mount replacement on the TA-07 PRO to increase suspension stiffness. For further setup refinement you can add the matching setting spacers, Item 54617.

They are intended for front suspension use, but some chassis allow adapting them to the rear with custom setup changes. Check clearances and geometry before trying a rear conversion.
No specialised tools are required; standard hobby tools used for RC maintenance will handle the swap. Keep thread locker and correct screw sizes handy for a secure fit.
Yes, increasing front rigidity and lowering the roll center will alter handling balance. Expect changes to steering feel and mid-corner grip, so plan to retune roll centre and damper settings after fitting.
