M-05 aluminium steering posts

Aluminium where it matters most: the steering of your M-05

The M-05 aluminium steering posts (ref. TA54193) are an upgrade part specifically designed for the Tamiya M-05 chassis. Made from aluminium, they replace the original plastic posts and provide a more solid base for the steering system, reducing flex and improving response with every change of direction.

Function and performance

The steering posts are the anchor point for the servo saver and the steering linkage assembly. When made from plastic, they can deform with continuous use or after impacts on the track, resulting in loose and imprecise steering. The aluminium version addresses this weak point fundamentally:

• Greater structural rigidity compared to the stock plastic posts.
• Better transmission of commands from the servo to the front wheels.
• Superior resistance to impacts and intensive use.
• Machined aluminium finish, with the dimensional precision required by the M-05 chassis.

Compatibility

These posts are designed for the Tamiya M-05 chassis. Before installing them, check that your specific version of the M-05 uses the same anchor points, as there are variants of the chassis (M-05 Ver.II, M-05Ra, etc.) that may have minor differences in the front area.

Assembly and preparation

The installation process follows the same procedure as the original posts. We recommend checking the steering geometry adjustment (toe-in/toe-out) once installed, as the change of material may require a slight tuning. Use a precision screwdriver and tighten carefully to avoid damaging the chassis threads.

Ideal for…

• Competitive drivers in M categories looking to eliminate play in the steering.
• RC modelling enthusiasts wanting to improve the durability of their M-05 with higher performance replacement parts.
• Any build where precision in steering makes a difference.

Frequently asked questions

Are they compatible with all versions of the M-05 chassis?

They are designed for the Tamiya M-05 chassis. We recommend verifying the exact version of your chassis before placing an order, as the M-05 has different variants that may differ in small details in the front area.

What real advantage does aluminium provide over the original plastic?

Aluminium does not deform under load or with the heat generated by continuous use. This results in more precise and consistent steering, with less accumulated play over time.

Do I need to adjust the geometry after the change?

It is advisable to check the front toe-in and toe-out after any intervention in the steering area, including the replacement of these posts. A small adjustment can make a difference in track behaviour.

Are screws or other fastening elements included?

The available information does not specify whether the kit includes additional screws. We recommend checking the exact contents of the packaging or contacting us before placing an order if this information is relevant to your project.

Tamiya M-05 aluminium steering posts upgrade TA54193 — a direct replacement for the stock plastic parts, delivering improved steering rigidity and precision for RC touring and competition builds on the M-05 chassis. A straightforward upgrade for club racers and hobbyists looking to reduce steering slop and enhance overall handling consistency.
