This aftermarket servo saver with aluminium tie rod is a scale replacement for the Tamiya M1025 Hummer, specified as a hi-torque 25T interface and finished in aluminium. The assembly provides controlled compliance to absorb impact loads at the servo spline while offering a firmer metal linkage to reduce play compared with common plastic rods.
Intended application: suited to the M1025 Hummer chassis that uses a 25T servo-spline interface, this component is a mechanical upgrade aimed at improving steering longevity and tuning consistency rather than altering electronic output. It helps maintain steadier steering feedback under load and provides a more durable steering linkage solution.
Assembly guidance: the servo saver replaces the stock saver assembly and the aluminium tie rod mounts in the same location as the factory plastic rod. Verify spline engagement and align the saver to the servo arm using original fastening points. After installation, set steering centre and confirm full travel to ensure smooth operation without binding.
Maintenance recommendations: the metal tie rod reduces elastic deflection and sharpens steering response while the saver preserves impact protection for the servo. Inspect fasteners and the spline interface at regular intervals and adjust steering geometry following any suspension or linkage modifications.
