Tamiya 22106 One-Piece Steel Front Axle & Hub Upgrade for 2WD Buggy Front Assemblies  [22106]

Combined axle-hub steel unit for 2WD front ends

This RC-scale replacement joins the front axle and hub into a single steel component made for 2WD buggy front wheel assemblies. By unifying both parts the unit reduces part count and creates a consistent mounting interface for wheel and hub while acting as a direct-replacement style upgrade for compatible front setups.

Design and role: the one-piece configuration prioritises faster service and repeatable alignment, helping crews remove and refit wheels more quickly during track maintenance or routine servicing. As an aftermarket steel component it increases the front-end mass and alters front response, which is important when fine-tuning steering feel and unsprung mass for balance.

Installation notes: the front assembly must accept the combined axle/hub form factor, so verify axle mount locations and hub bore compatibility prior to fitting. When swapping parts, check bearings and retaining hardware for wear, ensure proper axle seating and hub engagement, and torque fasteners to the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid slop.

A useful upgrade for 2WD buggy teams wanting a simpler front layout and quicker wheel service while retaining standard hub mounting geometry.
