This aluminium steering saver mount is an RC-scale accessory designed for use with the XRAY M18T chassis and supplied by 3Racing as model M18T-01/BU. It serves as a replacement or upgrade part that locates around the steering linkage area to absorb impact forces and help protect the servo and steering components from sudden shocks.
Made from aluminium, the mount offers a stiffer, more wear-resistant interface compared with many stock plastic pieces, which can help maintain consistent steering geometry under load. In practical terms it reduces repeated flex that can change toe and steering feel during a run, helping drivers keep setup consistent between heats.
Installation is straightforward for users familiar with XRAY M18T steering layouts, the part mounts to the steering assembly points and interfaces with existing linkages and fasteners on the chassis. No special tools are required beyond common hex drivers used for model maintenance. Check fastener torque and linkage alignment after fitting to ensure free movement and correct geometry.
For tuning, use this mount as part of a setup routine focused on steering precision: verify servo centering, linkage lengths, and caster/ackerman settings after installation. The mount's role is protective and geometric stability rather than changing dynamic suspension behavior, so expect improvements in component durability and repeatability rather than handling character.
