TAMIYA TA01/TA02W/DF01/Hotshot Front Upright Knuckles Upgrade in Aluminum JR-TA101-GU by Jazrider  [JR-TA101-GU]

Front Upright Knuckles in Aluminum

This aluminium front upright knuckle arm kit is offered as an RC-scale replacement for TAMIYA TA01, TA02W, DF01 and Hotshot chassis. The gun metal finish signals the surface treatment and the aluminium body reduces flex when compared with original plastic uprights. The part aims to increase steering stiffness and overall durability without changing the intended chassis geometry when properly installed.

How to install: remove the stock front uprights and transfer bearings or bushings from the originals if required. Mount the aluminum knuckles to the steering hubs and suspension uprights, using the chassis hardware where compatible. After assembly, confirm steering travel and wheel alignment, and re-check fastener torque following initial running.

Handling notes: swapping plastic uprights for aluminium tends to firm the front end, producing quicker steering response and more direct suspension feedback. This can alter the way camber and toe behave at the wheel, so expect to fine-tune trim settings after installation to achieve the preferred handling character.
