Performance and tuning notes

This aluminum front upright set swaps into the front suspension of Tamiya WR02, DT03T and Blitzer Beetle to reduce knuckle flex and give a more direct steering feel. The reduced compliance makes steering responses crisper, especially when combined with firmer front-end settings.

Install by removing the wheel hub and stock upright hardware, transfer bearings and pins into the new uprights, then refit and verify steering geometry and clearance. Only standard hex tools are required for the changeover used on these Tamiya platforms.

For tuning, treat this as a rigidity upgrade: it pairs well with stiffer springs, firmer bushings or altered toe settings to sharpen turn-in. Test small incremental changes to shocks and anti-roll bars to balance the new steering character.

Compatibility

  • WR02
  • DT03T
  • Blitzer Beetle

How does this part change turn-in and cornering?

By reducing front-end flex, the uprights deliver a firmer contact point for steering inputs, which sharpens turn-in and makes cornering more predictable when matched with appropriate spring and damper settings.

Should I alter toe or camber after installation?

Yes. Recheck and fine tune toe and camber since the change in rigidity can affect handling; small adjustments usually restore desired balance quickly.

Will shocks need different damping with these uprights?

Possibly. Because the uprights reduce compliance, you may prefer slightly different damping to keep the front end from feeling too harsh; try incremental damping changes during test runs.
