Steering arm upgrade for tighter handling

Swap the stock parts on a Tamiya 22072 XV-02 for the OP-2072 aluminium steering arms when you want more consistent steering feel. These aluminium arms reduce flex, offer a secure fit, and include built-in bearings to keep steering movement smooth during spirited track sessions.

Feature overview of the aluminium steering arms

Durable but light: Aluminium offers strength without a heavy weight penalty, improving longevity over plastic pieces.
Cleaner steering input: The precise machining gives direct feedback from the servo to the wheel hubs.
Blue anodise: A protective finish that also adds the classic Tamiya look.
Integrated bearings: Bearings are fitted to reduce friction and cut binding.
Made for XV-02: Tailored for the XV-02 chassis geometry for easy fitment.

Will these improve lap times?

Better steering precision can help consistency, which may lead to faster laps when combined with setup and driver skill. The arms alone are part of overall handling improvements.

Do I need new linkages?

Standard XV-02 linkages should fit. Check for any play after fitting and replace worn ball studs if needed to fully benefit from the aluminium arms.

Are they a direct swap?

Yes, OP-2072 arms are designed for direct replacement on XV-02 chassis without major modifications.

What maintenance do they need?

Regular cleaning and light lubrication of pivot points keeps movement free. Inspect bearings and fasteners periodically for wear or loosening.
