Gun metal steering assembly for Hornet EVO

This aluminum steering assembly with integrated bearings is an aftermarket part made for compatibility with the TAMIYA Hornet EVO (58742) chassis. Built to model JR-THNE04-GU by JAZRIDER, the component replaces flexible plastic steering parts with stiffer metal alloy pieces to influence steering response and longevity.

Precision-mounted bearings minimise play at pivot points while the gun metal finish protects the aluminum surfaces. It is intended as a direct-swap option when original mounting geometry is preserved, suitable for 1/10 scale buggy setups only.

Installation calls for basic disassembly of the front steering linkage to remove stock pieces and install the JR-THNE04-GU unit, confirming clearance around the servo horn and suspension links. After assembly, ensure servo centring and check steering throw to prevent binding.

For tuning use, expect a firmer steering feel and improved deflection resistance; maintain bearings with light lubrication and periodically inspect fasteners. This product is for model applications only and not for real vehicles.

Switching to the aluminum assembly reduces flex in the steering link, giving sharper feedback and more consistent steering inputs; you may need to soften other suspension settings to balance the change.
Yes, apply a light bearing lubricant during assembly and check periodically to maintain smooth pivot action and prevent premature wear.
