Do I need any special tools to install these parts?
Standard RC car maintenance tools, such as various screwdrivers (Phillips, hex), pliers, and potentially a hobby knife, are typically required for installation. Refer to your TC-01 manual for a complete tool list.
Can these parts be painted?
While plastic parts can be painted, it's recommended to use paints specifically designed for plastic models. Clean the parts thoroughly before painting and ensure proper adhesion.
Where can I find the installation instructions?
Detailed installation instructions are included in the manual that came with your original Tamiya TC-01 chassis kit. You may also be able to find digital versions on the official Tamiya website.
Troubleshooting
New parts do not fit correctly.
Double-check that you have the Tamiya TC-01 chassis and that you are installing the correct C/D parts according to the instruction manual. Ensure no other chassis components are obstructing the fit.
Suspension feels loose after installation.
Verify that all screws and mounting points for the suspension arms, knuckles, and rocker arms are securely tightened. Check for any stripped threads or missing small parts like washers or shims.
Components break easily during installation.
Ensure you are not over-tightening screws. Plastic components can crack if excessive force is applied. Follow the torque recommendations in your TC-01 manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These Tamiya C/D parts (MPN: 51663) are specifically designed for the Tamiya TC-01 chassis. Ensure your RC car model utilizes this chassis before purchase.
Setup: Installation requires careful disassembly of the existing suspension components on your TC-01 chassis. Refer to your Tamiya TC-01 model's instruction manual for detailed step-by-step guidance on replacing suspension arms, knuckles, and rocker arms. Ensure all screws and linkages are properly tightened to the manufacturer's specifications to avoid premature wear or component failure.
Care: Keep these plastic components clean and free from dirt and debris. After use, especially on dusty or wet surfaces, gently wipe down the suspension components with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic. Store your RC car in a clean, dry environment to prolong the life of all parts, including these suspension components.
