This aluminum front lower arm mount plate is an aftermarket component designed for the Tamiya Hornet EVO (58742). It replaces the stock plastic plate with a stronger machined aluminium piece, giving a more rigid mounting point for the lower arms and helping to maintain intended suspension geometry.
Installation is aimed at hobbyists who know Tamiya platforms: the plate uses factory mounting points and common hardware, so you only need basic tools. Confirm clearances around ball studs and arm pivots before final torqueing to ensure no binding occurs.
In handling terms the plate works as a reinforcement: expect reduced lower arm movement under load which leads to steadier steering and throttle response. Keep initial shock and arm settings, then iterate small tuning changes to refine handling to track or surface conditions.
