Upgraded Aluminum Rear Upper Arms for Tamiya Hotshot

This red-anodized aluminum rear upper arm set is a performance-oriented hop-up for Tamiya Hotshot and Super Hotshot chassis. The components are machined to align with original mounting geometry so they can act as direct replacements when points match the stock layout.

By replacing plastic links with these aluminum arms you gain a stiffer connection that helps deliver repeatable suspension behavior while tuning. Fitment generally mirrors the stock swap procedure and commonly allows reuse of existing pins and fixings. Always verify free travel and check for rubbing or interference after installation.

A practical aluminum upgrade tailored for drivers focused on consistent handling and precise tuning adjustments.

How will these arms affect setup tuning?

Switching to aluminum reduces flex in the linkage, which can make suspension responses more predictable. Expect to re-evaluate shock settings and camber/toe to find the new sweet spot.

Should I change shock settings after installing?

Often yes; the firmer arm may require minor adjustments to damping or spring rates to retain the previous balance. Test progressively and record changes to isolate optimal settings.

Do aluminum arms alter weight distribution?

The weight difference versus plastic is usually small, but distributed mass and stiffness changes can subtly influence handling. Consider the arms as part of the overall tuning package rather than a standalone fix.

Is there a break-in period?

After installation, run the vehicle gently for a short session, then recheck fasteners and clearances. This helps settle components and reveals any initial fitment issues before hard driving.
