The Tamiya TRF419XR uses a standard dual-bellcrank steering system. It is ball-raced and has aluminum turnbuckles reaching out to the wheels. Toe and Ackermann are adjustable.

Build Notes:

  • Using the kit dimensions for the turnbuckle lengths seems to be a good place to start.

    Step 1: Build the steering bridge. A light dab of blue threadlocker on these ball ends is suggested.

    Step 2: Attach to the aluminum steering arms. A very LIGHT dab of blue threadlocker is suggested; don’t get any on the shims or bearings.

    Step 3: Build the 3 turnbuckles; two steering, one drag link.

    Step 4: Attach the turnbuckles to the steering assembly.

    Step 5: Slide the steering assembly onto the steering posts and secure with the 3x6mm screws. Blue threadlock is suggested.

    That was quick and easy. Moving on to Step 5 – Suspension!
