Rear knuckle upgrade for Hotshot chassis

This aluminum rear knuckle arm set is an RC replacement part crafted for TAMIYA Hotshot and Super Hotshot models. It provides a more rigid mounting point than moulded plastic arms and is aimed at drivers seeking repeatable suspension behavior on the track.

Fitment is limited to the Hotshot and Super Hotshot series as stated; check your chassis layout before purchasing. The parts use the same mounting locations as the originals, so existing hardware and linkages can typically be reused where they match. Do not assume extra fasteners are included.

Installation: remove the original rear hub carriers and knuckles, fit the new aluminum arms to the uprights and secure with your chassis screws and ball studs where compatible. Use conservative torque values to avoid damaging small threads. Verify wheel alignment and suspension travel clearance before running.

Durability note: aluminum knuckles give a consistent pivot surface that supports tighter control over toe and camber settings, helping you measure the effect of setup changes more reliably during track sessions.

Are these tougher than the stock plastic knuckles?

Yes, the aluminum construction resists deformation that can occur with plastic parts, offering a more stable pivot under load and improved repeatability on the track.

Do I need to test them before competition use?

Always bench-check fit and run a short test session to confirm alignment and hardware security. Small adjustments to shock or roll-center settings may be needed after the swap.
