Overview
The RC Overhaul Steering Set with Adjustable Track Rods in Blue Aluminium is a premium chassis upgrade designed specifically for the Tamiya TT-01 platform. This high-quality steering assembly transforms your RC car's handling characteristics, delivering noticeably sharper steering response and improved precision compared to standard plastic alternatives. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast looking to enhance your Tamiya TT-01 performance, or someone shopping for RC car upgrades in the UK, this aluminium steering set represents excellent value and genuine performance improvement.
Manufactured by RC Overhaul, a recognised name in RC chassis tuning and upgrades, this steering set brings professional-grade engineering to your RC hobby. The anodised blue finish isn't just for aesthetics — the anodising process provides genuine corrosion protection while giving your chassis a clean, performance-focused appearance. This is the kind of upgrade that separates weekend bashers from serious RC enthusiasts who understand how small improvements compound into dramatically better overall performance.
The adjustable nature of this steering set means you're not locked into a single setup. Real RC drivers know that steering geometry directly affects how your car handles in different conditions, and the ability to fine-tune your track rods and servo linkage gives you the flexibility to dial in exactly the steering feel you want. Combined with the precision of four metal-shielded bearings, this steering set delivers the kind of consistent, predictable handling that makes a genuine difference on the track or in the bash field.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The steering arms are manufactured from quality aluminium rather than plastic, which provides superior strength-to-weight ratio and eliminates the flex and play that can develop in plastic steering components over time. This directly translates to more responsive, more precise steering inputs that your RC car will execute immediately and consistently.
- Four Metal-Shielded Bearings — Each bearing is protected by metal shields that keep dust and dirt out whilst maintaining smooth rotation. These aren't cheap ball-races; the metal shielding keeps contaminants away from the bearing surfaces, ensuring your steering remains buttery-smooth even after dusty bash sessions or wet track days. This means less maintenance and longer service life for critical steering components.
- Adjustable Track Rods — Rather than being fixed in length, the track rods on this set are adjustable, allowing you to tune the toe-out geometry of your front axle. Toe-out adjustment is a genuine performance tool used by serious RC racers to dial in exactly how much front-end grip and turn-in response they want. Whether you need more mid-corner stability or sharper initial steering response, the adjustability is yours to control.
- Adjustable Servo Link — The servo link is also adjustable, giving you another layer of steering geometry tuning. This allows you to optimise the relationship between your servo movement and actual wheel turn angle, ensuring your steering setup is perfectly matched to your driving style and track conditions.
- Anodised Blue Finish — The blue anodising isn't merely cosmetic. The anodising process creates a hard oxide layer that resists corrosion, salt spray, and UV damage. Your steering set will maintain its sharp appearance and performance integrity far longer than bare aluminium or painted components.
- Complete Steering Package — This set includes everything you need for a complete steering upgrade: both left and right steering arms with their servo links, full adjustment track rod assemblies, all necessary bearings, and mounting hardware. There's nothing else to source or purchase separately.
Technical Performance
The engineering behind this steering set reflects the demands of serious RC driving. Aluminium steering arms deliver the precision and durability that dedicated RC enthusiasts demand, eliminating the flex and wear characteristics that plague plastic steering components. The four metal-shielded bearings represent a significant step up from sealed ball-races, as the metal shields actively exclude contaminants whilst maintaining the smooth rotation necessary for precise steering control. The adjustability of both the track rods and servo link means this steering set isn't a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, it's a tuning platform that lets you dial in your exact steering geometry preferences. Whether you're running your TT-01 on carpet tracks, tarmac circuits, or dusty outdoor courses, the adjustability ensures you can optimise performance for your specific conditions. The combination of rigidity from the aluminium construction and smoothness from the shielded bearings creates steering feel that responds immediately to your servo input, with zero dead-band or slack. For UK RC enthusiasts accustomed to the more sluggish response of standard plastic steering components, the improvement is immediately noticeable and genuinely transformative.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this steering set fit my Tamiya TT-01 RC car? — Yes, this steering set is engineered specifically for the Tamiya TT-01 chassis platform. It's a direct fit replacement for the standard plastic steering assembly. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience.
- What is the advantage of aluminium steering over plastic? — Aluminium provides significantly greater rigidity and durability than plastic. Plastic steering components gradually develop flex and play with use, degrading steering precision over time. Aluminium steering arms maintain their geometry indefinitely, delivering consistent, responsive steering session after session. The weight difference is negligible, but the performance difference is substantial.
- How do adjustable track rods improve my RC car's performance? — Adjustable track rods allow you to control the toe-out angle of your front axle — essentially how much the front wheels point inward or outward relative to the direction of travel. Increasing toe-out can improve turn-in sharpness and mid-corner bite, whilst reducing it can improve straight-line stability. The ability to adjust this is a genuine competitive advantage.
- Are the shielded bearings better than sealed bearings? — Metal-shielded bearings offer a specific advantage: the shields keep debris out whilst allowing air circulation, preventing moisture accumulation that can cause bearing rust and corrosion. They're ideal for RC cars that see variable conditions, from dry indoor tracks to outdoor courses and occasional wet conditions.
- Do I need any special tools to install this steering set? — Installation requires only basic hex keys and screwdrivers that any RC hobbyist should already possess. The mounting points are identical to the standard TT-01 steering assembly, making this a straightforward bolt-on upgrade with no chassis modification required.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is an ideal upgrade for someone moving beyond basic RC cars and wanting genuine performance improvement. Whilst the adjustability offers depth for experienced drivers, the basic installation and use is perfectly accessible to newcomers willing to read the manual carefully.
- What is the difference between this and standard plastic steering? — The primary differences are material (aluminium vs plastic), bearing quality (shielded metal bearings vs standard plastic races), and adjustability (tunable geometry vs fixed). The cumulative effect is dramatically superior steering precision, durability, and responsiveness that will transform how your TT-01 handles.
