Stiffer Steering for Better Response

Fit Tamiya 54451 anodised blue aluminum steering arms to improve front-end stiffness and steering response on XV-01 builds. The machined parts reduce flex compared to the stock plastic arms for a more direct feel.

Which Chassis Can Use These Arms

The arms are compatible with XV-01 and XV-01 PRO chassis and can be used on the FF-03 once the Item 84314 FF-03 Chassis Upgrade Set is installed. They make a sensible upgrade for anyone tuning steering precision.

Do these help with understeer on carpet tracks?

They can reduce steering flex which helps turn-in; tuning tyre compound and suspension settings is still essential to address understeer.

Can I reuse the stock ball studs and hardware?

In most cases the original hardware fits, but inspect for wear and replace any rounded or damaged parts to maintain secure steering geometry.

Is there any maintenance to keep them working well?

Regularly check for play at the link points and clean grit from pivots. Reapply grease to moving joints if needed and retorque fasteners after the first runs.

Will metal-to-metal contact cause binding?

If assembly is correct and bearings or bushings are in good condition, binding is unlikely. Ensure correct spacing and avoid overtightening screws.
