Red Anodized Aluminum C-Hub

This anodized aluminum front C-hub is created to directly replace the original plastic hub on TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher 1/10 buggies. The machined part increases steering mount rigidity for a more consistent response on track or trail.

Purpose and fit: mounted in the stock steering knuckle area, the C-hub acts as the forward pivot of the front suspension and affects toe and steering geometry while working with your existing arms and knuckles. It matches the factory mounting points for simple installation.

Fitting tips: reuse the vehicle’s original fasteners and verify alignment before torquing to prevent steering bind. Use a light thread locker on metal fasteners if you run aggressive courses. After fitting, check steering freeplay and re-trim linkages to achieve the desired handling.

Performance impact: installing an aluminum C-hub helps maintain alignment when the chassis is under load and can sharpen front-end precision, which is handy when adjusting steering sensitivity or running firmer springs and stronger damping.

Yes, it is produced to the OEM mounting dimensions for the listed models so it should install using the original mounting hardware.
Because the aluminum hub reduces flex at the front pivot, you may notice a firmer front response; you might need to soften springs or adjust damping to rebalance understeer/oversteer tendencies.
Inspect fasteners periodically for tightness and check the hub surface for burrs after heavy use. Keep lubrication off pivot faces to avoid attracting dirt that can cause wear.
