Tamiya Pickup Rear Support F350-E5 Technical Upgrade by GPM  [F350-E5]

Technical rear chassis brace overview

This single-piece alloy rear support is an aftermarket RC component designed as a direct replacement for the plastic rear support used on Tamiya Ford F350, Toyota Hilux and Tundra pick up truck kits. Supplied as 1 pcs, the part bolts to the stock rear mounting points and provides a stiffer structural link in the rear assembly.

Tuning considerations: the increased rear stiffness reduces chassis flex and alters load transfer through the suspension under acceleration and over irregular surfaces. This change provides a more consistent rear-end response when performing setup adjustments and can be used as part of a targeted chassis tuning program.

Fitting procedure: position the support over the existing rear mounting bosses, secure with original or equivalent fasteners, and verify full suspension travel along with body clearance prior to final torque. The support is engineered to match the factory mounting pattern for the listed Tamiya models to avoid custom drilling or trimming in normal installations.
