This aftermarket steering assembly is engineered for the TAMIYA XV-02 PRO 1/10 4WD chassis and uses 7075-T6 aluminium for superior stiffness at steering pivots. The steering arms and bridge are CNC machined to tight tolerances to improve load transfer to the servo and linkages while minimising deflection. Bearings and mounting hardware are included, with fittings pre-installed to reduce build time and ensure repeatable alignment.
As a tuning upgrade rather than a geometry change, the components stabilise toe and ackermann under dynamic loads, improving steering consistency during aggressive inputs. Installation replaces the factory plastic steering parts and usually allows reuse of original linkages; fastener torque should be set for aluminium and alignment verified to avoid binding.
This CNC 7075 steering upgrade is intended for hobbyists seeking a durable, low-compliance solution to refine steering behaviour and aid setup development on the XV-02 PRO chassis.
