This aluminium servo saver and tie rod set is an aftermarket replacement designed for the Tamiya CW-01 (Lunch Box) RC chassis, supplied by GPM LB024TM. It is an RC-scale accessory intended to provide a more rigid servo linkage and a replaceable 24T splined saver interface compared with many stock plastic units.
The assembly role is straightforward: the servo saver cushions impact loads to the steering gear while the aluminium tie rod gives a durable steering link. On installation check spline alignment on the servo output and ensure the tie rod ends are secured with the correct hardware to avoid binding in the steering geometry.
Installation notes: remove the stock saver and tie rod, transfer any needed ball cups or spacers, then fit the aluminium saver onto the servo spline and connect the aluminium tie rod to the steering knuckles. Verify full travel and centre position before running, and re-check hardware torque after the first session.
Tuning role: a stiffer aluminium saver and tie rod reduce flex in the steering linkage, which helps keep steering feedback consistent during aggressive driving, but it can transmit more shock loads to the servo. When switching from plastic to aluminium components, consider softening other steering elements or using a servo with adequate torque rating for sustained use.
