Front uprights for TA07 race and hobby use

The JR-TA701-GU aluminium front upright knuckle arm set is produced for use on the Tamiya TA07 platform, replacing the standard front upright components. The gun metal finish is applied for a resilient surface and neat appearance.

Functionally the uprights serve as the steering knuckles: they position front hubs, receive the steering linkage and wheel hexes, and influence how the vehicle responds to steering inputs. Moving to aluminium typically decreases steering joint flex and keeps geometry more consistent during repeated use.

Fitting these uprights uses the TA07's existing mounting points and hardware; no special parts are necessary. When installing, use correct torque on fasteners and pair with the wheel hubs and hex inserts you run on your car for optimal steering feel.

By reducing flex at the steering joint the aluminium uprights produce a firmer, more direct steering response compared with plastic uprights.
Check steering geometry and toe settings after installation, and ensure fasteners are torqued correctly to avoid play. Consider matching hub shims if needed for perfect alignment.
Aluminium uprights are heavier than plastic, but the trade-off is increased rigidity and more consistent steering under load; weight change is modest and typical for this upgrade.
