This RC upgrade swaps the stock plastic steering components on the Tamiya CC-02 chassis for aluminium hardware built for hobby use. Included is a 25T hi-torque servo saver machined from aluminium to match common servo splines, plus aluminium tie rods that connect to the steering knuckles. These parts aim to improve steering feedback consistency and reduce wear under normal off-road conditions.
Compatibility targets Tamiya CC-02 chassis parts; always confirm spline counts and steering geometry before fitting. Installation is carried out at the servo horn and linkage interfaces, and typically requires removal of the original plastic pieces, adjustment of tie rod lengths, and secure fastening to keep the steering centred. This item is for RC models only and not suitable for real vehicle use.
For setup, make incremental adjustments to tie rod length and toe to refine turn-in characteristics. A well-configured aluminium servo saver provides measured compliance to help protect servo gears while routing forces through more durable tie rods.
