Hinge Pin Brace (wide pivot, -2mm, C Block, EB/NB48 2.1+) - TKR9163CW

The TKR9163CW Wide Pivot Hinge Pin Brace is an integral component of the new Tekno RC Wide Pivot Chassis System and must be used in conjunction with the Wide Pivot Rear Suspension Arms (TKR9184W – sold separately). This 7075 aluminum hinge pin mount with a -2mm offset was specifically developed for the C Block configuration and provides an aggressive Wide Pivot setup for maximum rear support.

The TKR9163CW is the -2mm variant of the Wide Pivot C Block system and is the most popular choice among competitive drivers. It offers maximum rear stability and lowers the vehicle's ride height for optimal center of gravity setup on high-grip racetracks and AstroTurf tracks. The C Block geometry is the standard choice for most drivers.

Advantages in Use

• Maximum rear suspension "openness" for extremely stable cornering
• Clean, controlled rotation without twitchiness
• Reduced traction disturbances during quick direction changes on grip
• Smoother throttle control on corner exit
• Increased rear stability on high-grip surfaces
• Lower ride height = optimal center of gravity on AstroTurf tracks
• More planted, predictable vehicle balance under load
• Optimal performance on demanding, high-grip racetracks
• C Block geometry = preferred handling characteristics

Who is it suitable for?

• Serious competitive drivers on AstroTurf tracks
• Drivers who prefer C Block geometry (standard choice)
• RC racers on high-grip surfaces
• Setup optimizers with chassis fine-tuning
• Those who need maximum rear stability and lower ride height
• Drivers seeking the preferred handling balance

Setup Notes

The TKR9163CW is the aggressive -2mm variant of the Wide Pivot C Block system and the most popular choice. Choose this option for:

• High-grip conditions (AstroTurf tracks, indoor carpet)
• Drivers who prefer maximum rear stability
• Setup optimizers who desire a lower ride height
• Racing on very prepared and high-grip racetracks
• If you prefer the standard C Block geometry

If you need less grip or have looser conditions, consider the TKR9163BW (-1mm) variant. For an alternative geometry, try the D Block option TKR9164CW.
