Tamiya Hotshot Propeller Joint Upgrade (Steel) - JR-THS15-BK by Jazrider  [JR-THS15-BK]

Heavy-duty propeller joint for Hotshot cars

This JR-THS15-BK steel propeller joint from JAZRIDER serves as a sturdy replacement for Tamiya Hotshot style buggies. It functions as the mechanical link between rotating props and their mating parts on Hotshot, Hotshot II, and Super Hotshot setups, intended to replace worn originals.

Package includes 2 pcs per set and the dimensions are matched to the original Tamiya attachment points. The steel construction prioritizes longevity and reliable mechanical engagement rather than saving weight. Install it when the factory joint shows excess play or visible damage.

Installation guidance: check fitment before final tightening, ensure mating faces are aligned, and reuse or confirm appropriate fastener lengths. Accessing the joint typically requires partial disassembly of the rear driveline on a 1/10 Hotshot platform. Only slight trimming of adjacent items should be necessary if prior repairs altered clearances.

Maintenance and tuning: replacing a degraded propeller joint can restore consistent steering geometry and reduce binding during loaded turns. After fitting, perform a low-speed check and a brief run to confirm quiet operation and correct engagement. Regular inspection and light greasing of surrounding bearings will keep the joint performing well.
