Hinge Pin Brace (wide pivot, -2mm, D Block, EB/NB48 2.1+) - TKR9164CW

The TKR9164CW 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 brace with a -2mm offset is specifically designed for the D Block configuration, offering an aggressive wide pivot setup for maximum rear support.

The TKR9164CW is the -2mm variant of the Wide Pivot D Block system and is ideal for high-grip conditions on AstroTurf tracks and prepared racetracks. The -2mm offset not only provides maximum rear stability but also lowers the ride height for an optimized vehicle center of gravity setup on very high-grip surfaces.

Highlights

• Genuine 7075 CNC-machined aluminum
• -2mm Wide Pivot Offset – aggressive support
• D Block geometry for alternative vehicle tuning
• Optimized for high-grip tracks and AstroTurf tracks
• Lowers vehicle ride height for optimal center of gravity
• Opens up the rear suspension for planted handling
• Requires TKR9184W Wide Pivot Suspension Arms
• Genuine Tekno Racing Quality

Benefits in Use

• Maximum rear suspension opening for extremely stable cornering
• Clean, controlled rotation without twitchiness
• Reduced traction disturbances during quick changes of direction 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

Who is it suitable for?

• Serious competitive racers on AstroTurf tracks
• Drivers who prefer D Block geometry
• RC racers on high-grip surfaces
• Setup optimizers with chassis fine-tuning
• Those who need maximum rear stability and lower ride height

Setup Notes

The TKR9164CW is the aggressive -2mm variant of the Wide Pivot D Block system. Choose this option for:

• High-grip conditions (AstroTurf tracks, indoor carpet)
• Drivers who prefer maximum rear stability
• Setup optimizers who want a lower ride height
• Racing on very prepared and high-grip racetracks

The D Block geometry differs from the C Block configuration and offers alternative vehicle characteristics. Test both options to find your preferred setup direction.
