Tuning-Focused Front Upper Arms for Hotshot Rigs

This aluminium front upper arm set fits the Tamiya Hotshot lineup and is anodized in black to provide reduced flex compared with the OEM plastic pieces, giving clearer steering feedback for setup-minded drivers.

They install using original mounting locations and usually the stock fasteners, allowing a simple swap on Hotshot, Hotshot II/2, Super Hotshot and Boomerang 4WD. After replacement, fine-tune camber and shock settings to exploit the increased front stiffness.

Performance tip: upgrading to aluminium changes the suspension stiffness curve at the front axle, which can improve initial turn-in and repeatability. Pair this change with incremental shock-rate or anti-roll adjustments rather than wholesale setup swaps.

A tuning-oriented aluminium upgrade that helps drivers refine front-end response and consistency on Hotshot platforms.

Expect reduced compliance at the front, crisper turn-in and more consistent responses; small camber and shock adjustments will help restore balance.
Often a slight change to shock damping or spring rate complements the stiffer arms; tune incrementally and test on track to find the right balance.
Yes, aluminium maintains geometry better under load, helping to keep predictable handling after multiple impacts.
Start with small shock damping increases or slight camber tweaks, test one change at a time and record results to isolate what benefits handling most.
