FAQs
Are these uprights compatible with the M-05 or M-06 chassis?
No, these are specifically designed for the M-07 Concept and are not compatible with previous M-chassis generations.
Do these parts include the required ball bearings?
No, the package includes the plastic C parts (uprights) only. You must reuse your existing bearings or purchase new ones separately.
What tools are required for installation?
You typically need a 2mm hex driver to remove the kingpin screws and a standard cross-wrench for the wheel nuts.
Should I apply grease to these parts?
Do not apply grease to the plastic parts themselves, but ensure the ball bearings seated inside them are lightly oiled or greased as per your standard maintenance routine.
Will these improve the durability of my M-07?
They provide the same level of durability as your original kit parts, ensuring the vehicle performs as the manufacturer intended.
Troubleshooting
Excessive play or slop in the steering
Check if the kingpin screws are loose or if the bearing seats in the new upright have worn out.
Binding or stiff steering movement
Ensure that the steering linkage is not overtightened and that the bearings are seated squarely in the upright.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These uprights are designed for the Tamiya M-07 Concept series. To install, remove the wheel, disconnect the steering tie-rod, and unscrew the kingpin screws securing the upright to the C-hub. Ensure your ball bearings are cleaned and re-greased before transferring them into the new uprights. Avoid overtightening the screws into the plastic to prevent stripping the threads. Periodically check these parts for stress marks or hairline fractures after high-impact accidents, as these are the primary indicators that a replacement is necessary.
