Tamiya CW-01 Aluminium 24T Servo Saver and Tie Rod LB024TM by GPM  [LB024TM]

24T aluminium saver kit for CW-01

This aluminium servo saver and tie rod set is an aftermarket replacement for the Tamiya CW-01 (Lunch Box) chassis, part LB024TM. It delivers a firmer servo linkage and a replaceable 24T splined saver interface compared with common plastic factory parts.

The component functions simply: the servo saver absorbs impact and helps protect the steering gear while the aluminium tie rod provides a stronger steering connection. When fitting, confirm spline alignment on the servo output and make sure the tie rod ends are secured with the correct fasteners to prevent binding in the steering geometry.

Installation notes: remove the stock saver and tie rod, move any required ball cups or spacers across, then fit the aluminium saver to the servo spline and attach the aluminium tie rod to the steering knuckles. Check full travel and the centred position before running, and re-check hardware torque after the first outing.

Tuning considerations: the stiffer aluminium saver and tie rod cut down linkage flex so steering feedback is more consistent during aggressive use, but they can pass higher shock loads to the servo. If you swap from plastic to aluminium, think about using a softer steering element elsewhere or a higher torque servo for sustained runs.
