This RC alloy rear swing arm is designed for Kyosho motorcycle kits and is supplied as a single-piece set with the matching screw and washer for a direct swap. The component is formed from alloy and serves as the rear swing linkage member on scale motorcycles.
It is suitable as a replacement for worn parts or as a stiffer option for setup work. Installation generally requires rear wheel removal, detaching linkage pins, examining bearings, and re-torquing fasteners to maintain correct alignment. Use thread-lock on steel fasteners where the original design specifies it.
Setup advice: an alloy swing arm will change chassis flex compared to plastic, altering handling and traction. After installation, check axle alignment and bearing play, then perform a low-speed run to confirm chain alignment and suspension travel.
The KM014 alloy swing arm is a practical replacement and tuning component for Kyosho-scale motorcycles, aimed at hobbyists performing maintenance and setup changes.
