The Kyosho SCW042-01 is a scale RC replacement wing mount shaft intended for the 85WC Tomahawk series, supplied as a spare to restore or maintain wing attachment points on compatible Tomahawk models. It functions as a direct replacement when the original shaft is worn, bent, or lost during normal use.
Compatibility is limited to the 85WC Tomahawk designation shown in the product name, so confirm your chassis code before ordering. The shaft performs a mechanical role: it locates the wing, transfers clamp forces into the mount, and helps keep alignment under aerodynamic loads at model speeds.
Fitting is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: remove the wing assembly from the mount, withdraw the old shaft, insert the replacement into the mount bore, and secure any retaining screws or clips. Check for free rotation where needed and verify endplay after tightening. Use the correct hex drivers and retainers for your model and avoid overtightening fasteners to prevent deforming the mount.
Maintenance tips: inspect the shaft at bearing and mount contact points after heavy use and replace if excessive play or damage appears. Make small adjustments when setting wing incidence, re-check fastener security after each change, and keep spare shafts in your parts kit to reduce downtime at the track.
