Tamiya 5315002 - 65mm Rod replacement linkage for F101/F102 F1 chassis  [5315002]

65mm rod for F1 chassis

This is a scale RC linkage rod sold as a spare/hop-up for Tamiya F1 platforms. The part serves as a direct-length replacement rod intended for linkage duties on F101/F102 style F1 and Group C hop‑up setups, supplying a consistent 65mm reference length for tuning and rebuilds.

Installation is straightforward: replace the existing rod with this unit making sure the rod ends engage cleanly with the linkage points and that there is free, unconstrained movement through the full steering and suspension travel. Verify alignment and range of motion before finalizing any fasteners or clamping points.

In setup and tuning the rod functions as a geometry reference: swapping rods of different lengths changes steering throw and the interaction between steering and suspension. Use this 65mm length when matching intended chassis geometry or when restoring original linkage dimensions after repairs.
