Tamiya XV-01 Alloy Steering Assembly with 5x8 Bearings by GPM XV048  [XV048]

Alloy steering assembly for XV-01

This alloy steering assembly is produced for the Tamiya XV-01 platform and supplied as a 3pcs set. It replaces the standard steering linkage components with a machined alloy unit that includes fitted 5x8 bearings, intended to provide a more consistent steering pivot and predictable connection to the servo output horn.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with XV-01 maintenance, requiring removal of the existing plastic steering pieces and reusing the stock linkages and fasteners where applicable. Ensure bearings are fully seated and the steering linkage geometry is checked for binding before running; small alignment errors at the servo horn can translate into steering irregularities on track or during tuning sessions.

As an aftermarket upgrade, this assembly serves as a durable replacement and a tuning option to reduce play in the steering system, helping to keep steering response consistent during testing and setup changes. It is supplied as 3pcs, each pre-fitted with 5x8 bearings for direct fitment where XV-01 steering dimensions are retained.
