Steering Response Upgrade for the XV-01 Chassis

The Tamiya 54446 Carbon Reinforced K & KK Parts act as direct replacements for XV-01 steering arms and the battery hatch, increasing stiffness for improved on-track precision on high-grip circuits. They provide a cost-effective way to tighten handling without complex modifications.

Performance Gains Explained

Reinforcing steering attachment points with carbon reduces unwanted flex, resulting in more consistent turn-in and less unpredictable behaviour under load. This helps club racers and weekend tuners who want reliable handling changes from a simple upgrade.

Simple Fit and Compatibility

These components bolt into the XV-01 using factory mounting points, so installation is quick with standard RC tools. No special jigs or trimming are required, making it a practical upgrade between events.

You may need to tweak end points or centering to match the stiffer linkage, but most standard servos work fine with the increased rigidity.
Carbon is rigid and can crack on heavy impact, so inspect parts after any significant collision and replace if you spot hairline fractures.
Keep bolts torqued to spec, check for stress marks regularly and avoid over-tightening to prevent localized cracking around fastener holes.
