Tamiya F104 T-Bar 1.8mm by 3Racing F104-07/18/FG  [F104-07/18/FG]

F104 T-Bar role and installation notes

This is an RC-scale T-bar intended for use on Tamiya F104 chassis, supplied as a hop-up part by 3Racing under model F104-07/18/FG. It is a straightforward replacement/upgrade part that changes the lateral stiffness across the front end to influence steering feel and initial turn-in behaviour without altering suspension geometry.

In practical tuning the 1.8mm T-bar is used to increase front-end rigidity compared with thinner bars, which can reduce unwanted flex and produce a crisper steering response. Expect incremental handling changes rather than dramatic shifts; this part is one of several small adjustments used to dial in balance between front and rear grip on carpet or asphalt club tracks.

Installation is mechanical and RC-kit centric: remove the factory T-bar from the F104 assembly, fit this unit to the same mounting points, and verify clearances with servo linkages and steering components. Because fitment depends on the specific F104 kit version and any prior modifications, confirm alignment before final tightening and test on the bench at low steering throw to avoid binding.
