Product Information
Full details
The Tamiya Alu Servo Stays (Short) are designed for radio control enthusiasts who prioritize precision, handling consistency, and long-term durability in their Tamiya R/C chassis. These aluminum components offer a significant structural upgrade over standard plastic mounts, ensuring the steering servo remains rigidly fixed during high-speed maneuvers. While they provide excellent stability and a premium feel, users should note that they are specifically sized for short-mount configurations and require careful alignment during the installation process to avoid binding.

FAQs
Are these compatible with all Tamiya R/C cars?
No, these are specifically designed as 'Short' servo stays and are intended for compatible Tamiya chassis platforms. Always check your model's manual or parts list for compatibility.
Do I need special tools to install these?
No, standard metric hex wrenches provided with most Tamiya kits are sufficient for installation.
Does this part improve top speed?
No, these are structural components meant for handling and steering precision, not for increasing motor or drivetrain speed.
Will these bend during a crash?
Aluminum is more durable than plastic, but under extreme impact, any metal can bend. They offer significantly better protection than stock plastic parts.
Is it necessary to use thread-locker?
While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to prevent the screws from backing out due to the high-frequency vibrations common in R/C models.
Troubleshooting
Steering linkage feels stiff after installation
Loosen the mount screws slightly and realign the servo position before tightening, ensuring there is no side-load on the linkage.
Mounting screws come loose during operation
Apply a small amount of blue thread-locking compound to the screw threads before installation to secure them against vibrations.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Requires precise installation to avoid linkage binding
- Adds minor weight compared to stock plastic parts
- Limited compatibility to specific short-mount chassis
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the stays, remove your existing servo mount and clean the chassis surface of any debris. Align the Tamiya Alu Servo Stays with the designated mounting holes on your specific chassis. It is recommended to use a mild thread-locking compound on the screws to prevent them from loosening due to vibration. During care, periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If you notice any bent or deformed components after a severe collision, replace them immediately to maintain steering integrity. Keep the area around the servo and stays free of grit and heavy dirt buildup to prevent friction against the aluminum surface.
