Product Information

Full details

The Tamiya Adjustable Upper Arm Set 53674 is a precision-engineered hop-up component designed for hobbyists who operate Tamiya TT-01 and TGS chassis platforms. By enabling refined camber adjustments, this kit allows users to optimize their vehicle's handling characteristics for competitive track performance. While these arms significantly enhance tuning capabilities, they require a solid understanding of RC suspension geometry to set up correctly for specific surface conditions.

FAQs

Will this fit a Tamiya TT-02 chassis?

No, this set is specifically designed for the TT-01 and TGS chassis series and will not fit the TT-02.

What is the primary benefit of adjustable arms?

The primary benefit is the ability to adjust camber, which directly influences cornering grip and tire wear.

Do I need special tools to install these?

Standard Tamiya hex wrenches and basic pliers are sufficient for the installation process.

How often should I adjust my camber?

You should adjust your camber whenever you move between different track surfaces, such as carpet versus asphalt, to maintain optimal handling.

Does this set come with instructions?

Yes, Tamiya hop-up parts typically include a manual detailing the assembly steps specific to the chassis model.

Troubleshooting

Arm length changes during operation

Ensure the turnbuckle lock nuts are tightened firmly against the arm ends to prevent rotation.

Suspension feels stiff or binding

Check that the hinge pins are not overtightened and ensure the pivot points are free of debris or grit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves cornering grip
  • Allows for professional-level suspension tuning
  • Direct fit for specified Tamiya chassis models
  • High build quality consistent with genuine Tamiya parts

Cons

  • Requires manual adjustment and testing for optimal results
  • Not compatible with chassis outside the TT-01 or TGS lines
  • Small parts require careful assembly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves replacing the standard fixed upper arms with the adjustable turnbuckle-style arms. Always use a proper hex wrench set to ensure screws are seated correctly without stripping the plastic mounts. Regularly check the turnbuckles after intensive track days, as vibrations can occasionally cause small deviations in the arm length. When storing your vehicle, ensure the suspension remains neutral to prevent unnecessary tension on the arm components. Compatibility includes all TT-01 (Type E, D, ES) and TGS series chassis models.
