This Kyosho SCW042-01 item is a scale RC replacement wing mount shaft specified for the 85WC Tomahawk line, supplied as a spare part to restore or maintain wing attachment points on compatible Tomahawk models. It serves as a direct replacement component where the original shaft is worn, bent, or lost during routine use.
Compatibility is limited to the 85WC Tomahawk designation shown in the product name, so verify your chassis code before ordering. The shaft's role is mechanical: it locates the wing, transmits clamp forces to the mount, and helps maintain alignment under aerodynamic loads at model scale speeds.
Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: remove the wing assembly from the mount, withdraw the old shaft, fit the replacement into the mount bore, and secure any retaining screws or clips that hold the shaft in place. Confirm free rotation where required and check for endplay after securing the fasteners. Use appropriate hex drivers and retainers recommended for your model; do not overtighten fasteners to avoid deforming the mount.
Tuning and maintenance notes: inspect the shaft for wear at the bearing or mount contact points after heavy use, and replace when excessive play appears. When adjusting wing incidence or position, make incremental changes and re-check fastener security. Keep spare shafts in your parts kit to reduce downtime during track or club sessions.
