Essential Replacement for FS-18SR Engines

The Tamiya FS-18SR Connecting Rod is a practical spare for anyone servicing FS-18SR engines. It supports smooth reciprocating motion and helps maintain engine balance under normal hobby use. Having a spare on hand makes routine maintenance quicker and less stressful.

Performance and Durability Considerations

Using parts that match the original specifications helps preserve engine behaviour. The Tamiya FS-18SR Connecting Rod is designed for reliable fit and endurance through standard running conditions. It contributes to consistent performance across maintenance cycles.

Practical Installation Tips

Install the Tamiya FS-18SR Connecting Rod with clean mating surfaces and even fastener torque. Check for correct fit at both ends and run a brief shakedown to ensure everything is seated and operating quietly.

Is this a direct replacement for worn rods?

Yes, this is the standard replacement intended for FS-18SR engines. It restores clearance and alignment when the original shows wear.

Do I need to replace bearings at the same time?

Inspect bearings when replacing the rod. If they show wear or play, replace them to avoid premature failure of the new rod.

Can I reuse the old fasteners?

If fasteners are undamaged and maintain proper torque, reuse is possible. Replace any bolts that show thread or head damage to be safe.

Should I check alignment after a test run?

Yes, a short run followed by a final inspection of clearances and fastener tightness ensures the rod has seated and is functioning correctly.

What noises indicate a problem after fitting?

Unusual knocking, excessive vibration, or grinding may signal misalignment or bearing issues and should be checked immediately.
