Precision 7075 steering plate for B-MAX4 III

The Arrowmax AM-MAX4-002 steering plate is supplied as a replacement part for the Yokomo B-MAX4 III chassis. Forged from 7075 aluminium, the plate offers improved stiffness over stock components and is aimed at tightening up the front end for touring car tuning.

As a mechanical element of the steering assembly, the plate secures servo linkages and steering knuckles to reduce unwanted movement. That reduced flex at pivot points helps deliver steadier steering feedback and can influence toe and Ackermann behaviour when making setup changes.

Fitting the plate is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: remove the original unit, carry over bearings or bushings, and bolt this part in place with the factory hardware, observing appropriate torque for aluminium. Finally, check servo horn alignment and ensure equal travel on both sides.

Fit this plate to firm the steering assembly or when replacing aged components on a B-MAX4 III, and always recheck linkage geometry after installation.

By stiffening the mounting surface it reduces flex, which usually makes steering feel more direct and predictable during cornering.
If the bearings show wear, replace them. Otherwise transfer the original bearings or bushings and inspect for smooth operation after installation.
Tighten aluminium screws to a controlled torque and confirm that linkages move freely through their range before finalising the setup.
Not strictly necessary, but racers looking for more consistent steering feedback often fit a stiffer aftermarket plate like AM-MAX4-002.
The plate itself does not increase gear wear, but ensure servo alignment and eliminate binding to avoid added strain on the servo.
