Is fitting this part straightforward for a home mechanic?

Yes. Installation follows standard hop-up replacement steps and uses the original mounting points. Basic hand tools and patience are all you need.

Will the aluminium arms change steering ratio?

No. The kit keeps the same geometry and ratio but reduces flex, so steering feels sharper without altering servo travel or link ratios.

Can I reuse the original hardware?

The set includes the essential screws and spacers, but you can reuse compatible original parts if they are in good condition.

Does this kit require special maintenance?

Periodic cleaning and light lubrication of the bearings will keep performance consistent; inspect for play and replace bearings if you notice wear.
