Optimise FS-12FZ/FN Engine Output with Tamiya 54778

The Tamiya 54778 FS-12FZ/FN back plate replaces the recoil starter to cut drivetrain losses and help the engine run more effectively. It ships with the necessary O-rings and attachment screws so you can fit it cleanly and keep things sealed.

Fitment Notes and Starter Requirements

Made for machines running the FS-12FZ or FN engines, this back plate is a direct option for TG-10 MK.II setups. Removing the recoil starter means a starter box is required to get the engine going, so plan your starting gear accordingly.

How does the back plate affect performance?

By removing the recoil assembly the back plate reduces parasitic drag on the crank, which can lead to cleaner throttle response and slightly improved power transfer.

Will I need extra parts to install it?

The kit includes O-rings and screws needed for the install, but you should have a starter box and basic hand tools available to complete the job.

Is this suitable for first-time engine tuners?

It is straightforward to fit for those comfortable with small engine work, but beginners should review starter box use and basic sealing procedures before removing the recoil.
