Overview
The Tamiya TT-02 Type-S Aluminum Steering Set (Item 54965) is a high-precision steering upgrade engineered to eliminate flex, reduce slop, and deliver sharper, more consistent steering response on TT-02 Type-S chassis vehicles. This CNC-machined aluminum assembly dramatically improves handling stability, especially when paired with high-grip tires, brushless power, or track-focused setups.
Designed specifically for the TT-02 Type-S and compatible variants using the long tie-rod layout, this steering set replaces stock plastic parts with rigid aluminum components for better steering feel and longer service life. For TT-02 owners looking to tighten steering geometry and unlock predictable cornering performance, this is one of the most essential hop-ups available.
Key Features
- CNC-machined aluminum construction for superior rigidity
- Long tie-rod design for smoother steering arcs
- Aluminum steering bridge, arms (left and right), and posts
- Open face reinforced adjusters for easy fine-tuning
- 3x38mm turnbuckle shafts (x2) and 3x42mm shaft (x1) included
- Updated steering post positions for greater reliability
- Complete hardware kit for straightforward installation
Performance Benefits
- Eliminates steering flex found in plastic components
- Reduced slop for more direct steering input
- Improved Ackermann characteristics
- More responsive turn-in and mid-corner stability
- Consistent steering geometry under acceleration and braking
- Enhanced durability for racing and bashing
Usage Notes
Designed specifically for TT-02 Type-S chassis and compatible long-rod configurations. Not compatible with short-rod or stock TT-02 steering geometry without modification. Ideal for club racers and weekend tuners seeking firmer, more predictable front-end behavior. Pairs well with aluminum suspension arms and brushless power systems.
