Racing-oriented aluminium steering saver for Mini Inferno

This precision-machined aluminium steering saver replaces the stock plastic stop on Kyosho Mini Inferno and Mini Inferno ST chassis, providing a rigid metal mounting and a sealed ball bearing interface that lowers friction and minimises play in the steering linkages. The anodised blue finish offers wear resistance and consistent tolerances under race conditions.

Compatibility targets the Kyosho Mini Inferno family; verify clearance with your servo horn and tie rods before installation. This is an aftermarket performance component sized specifically for Mini Inferno steering assemblies and intended for competitive use.

Installation requires standard RC hand tools: remove the servo horn and associated linkage, fit the aluminium unit in place of the polymer saver, then set bearing preload so rotation is free with no detectable slop. Use correct thread engagement and controlled torque to prevent bearing preload and to preserve repeatable steering geometry.

From a setup perspective the unit sharpens steering response and reduces free play without changing servo or linkage geometry, improving turn-in consistency. It also creates a defined impact interface to protect the servo under load while the bearing maintains smooth articulation. Routine inspection and a light application of bearing-compatible lubricant will maintain bearing life and track performance.

What tolerance benefits does the aluminium saver provide?

The machined aluminium body holds tighter tolerances than moulded plastic, giving a more consistent contact point and reducing variable lash in repeated impacts.

Any recommended bearing preload procedure?

Set the saver so the bearing spins freely with minimal axial play; tighten progressively and test steering for any binding before final torqueing of fasteners.

Is the bearing sealed for dusty conditions?

The unit uses a standard small ball bearing; while the anodised body resists wear, regular cleaning and light bearing-safe lubrication are advised after dusty or abrasive track sessions.
