Front-end aluminium arm mount for 1/10 TAMIYA buggies

The JR-TFD08-RD is an aluminum front suspension arm mount and gearbox support created for 1/10-scale TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher buggies. It replaces the A5 plastic mount with a metal unit to alter front stiffness and give additional support to the gearbox housing while maintaining the factory layout.

Use case and fitting: the part fits the stock A5 front bulkhead mounting points and fastens to the suspension arm pivot, preserving original geometry. It is intended as an upgrade for hobbyists seeking improved durability or different front-end characteristics without modifying the chassis or drivetrain.

Tuning notes: an aluminium mount will change suspension feel and can shift handling balance; combine this change with shock tuning and anti-roll bar adjustments to achieve the desired response. Always confirm screw torque and alignment to prevent binding during wheel travel.

Compatibility

Thunder Shot
Thunder Dragon
Fire Dragon
Terra Scorcher

What handling changes should I expect after fitting this mount?

You can expect a firmer front end which may reduce compliance and increase turn-in accuracy; tuning shocks and sway bars alongside this part helps dial in understeer or oversteer tendencies.

Should I alter shock valving after installation?

Yes, reassessing shock valving and spring rates is recommended since the increased front stiffness affects weight transfer and damping requirements for optimal performance.
