Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This Tamiya M-05 B Parts - Steering Wiper (51390) is specifically designed for the Tamiya M-05 chassis. It is crucial to confirm your radio control vehicle uses the M-05 platform before purchasing.
Setup: Installation involves accessing the steering linkage assembly of your M-05 model. Typically, this requires partial disassembly of the chassis front end. Refer to your Tamiya M-05 instruction manual for detailed steps on removing the old steering wiper and installing the new one. Ensure all screws and linkages are securely fastened but not overtightened, as this can impede movement.

Keep the area around the steering assembly clean from dirt and debris, which can cause premature wear. Periodically inspect the part for any signs of stress or damage. No lubrication is typically required for this specific part, but ensure the surrounding pivot points are clean and move freely.
