XV-01 Steering Upgrade Brief

This aluminium steering assembly fits the Tamiya XV-01 and is offered as model JR-XV103-BK. It swaps stock plastic knuckles and linkages for anodized aluminium pieces that use bearing seats rather than plain pivots.

The aim of the design is to reduce mechanical play and stabilise steering inputs, which assists with consistent servo centring and finer on-road setup adjustments.

Fitment checklist: verify uprights and steering rack compatibility, confirm bearing seating and free rotation, and check for any interference with the servo horn. Re-check fastener torque after a short break-in run.

Is this intended to be a direct swap?

Yes, it is intended as a replacement for the standard steering knuckles and linkages on the XV-01 platform, subject to checking your specific upright and rack details.

What are the main benefits of the bearing conversion?

Replacing plain pivots with bearings reduces play and improves repeatability in steering inputs, which helps with tuning precision.

Any special installation advice?

Ensure bearings are seated without binding, confirm servo horn clearance, and re-tighten screws after initial test runs to secure fitment.
