Core Benefits of the Tamiya Piston Rod

Compatibility: Matches chosen older Tamiya Nitro engines to deliver an accurate, factory-style fit.
Durability: Produced from robust materials to stand up to frequent high rpm use and reduce service intervals.
Maintenance: Well suited to rebuilds and regular engine checks to retain smooth throttle response.

How do I verify this part fits my old Tamiya engine?

Cross reference the engine part list or compare the rod dimensions with your current part. Manufacturer diagrams or vintage service notes are useful for confirmation.

Is any break-in required after installing a new piston rod?

After assembly, run the engine gently at first to confirm correct fit and seating. Gradually increase rpm while monitoring temperature and compression.

Can I reuse old bearings with this rod?

Inspect bearings for play and corrosion. Reuse only if they meet tolerance; otherwise replace to avoid premature failure of the new rod.

What routine checks keep the rod performing well?

Regularly check for shaft scoring, end float and proper lubrication. Remove carbon build up and confirm secure fastenings during service intervals.
