This aluminium steering assembly is an aftermarket replacement tailored to Kyosho Mini-Z AWD platforms and supplied as 1set with the steering pin. It is intended to increase steering stiffness and deliver consistent feedback at 1:27 scale for accurate chassis tuning.
The design uses aluminium to reduce flex at critical linkage points versus stock plastic components, and the included pin secures the linkage pivot while preserving standard servo and chassis mounting geometry. Dimensional accuracy ensures direct-fit compatibility with common Mini-Z AWD steering mounts for a straightforward upgrade.
Installation advice: remove the factory steering unit, transfer any necessary small linkages or bearings, locate the alloy assembly on the existing mounting points, and retain the steering arm using the provided pin. Use correct hex driver sizes and perform controlled steering sweeps to verify clearance with the servo horn and suspension arms.
Tuning impact: the part raises steering stiffness to limit unwanted compliance, allowing setup changes such as toe and Ackermann adjustments to produce more predictable handling outcomes during on-track testing.
