Front steering carrier for the XV-01 series

Made from anodized red aluminum, this C hub replaces the original plastic carrier on compatible TAMIYA models. It functions as the primary front steering hub carrier, ensuring steering motions are accurately transmitted to the lower suspension arm.

Key roles in set-up and tuning:

  • Establishes a rigid mounting point for the wheel hub and steering linkage, which impacts steering feel and toe settings.
  • Selected when a less-flexing hub is desired to keep geometry stable under load.
  • Assists with precise alignment changes when optimising handling for track conditions.

Installation notes:

  • The component is meant to be a direct swap for XV-01 family hubs and should fit using the existing chassis screw locations without modification.
  • Verify clearance and suspension travel after fitting to prevent interference during steering and compression cycles.
  • Regularly clean bearing areas and use correct torque values on fasteners to maintain consistent performance.

Compatible Models

  • XV-01
  • DB01
  • DB02
  • TRF502X
  • TRF503
Upgrading to a stiffer aluminum hub typically sharpens steering response and reduces unwanted flex, translating to a more immediate feel at the wheel but potentially transferring more force to adjacent suspension parts.
Because the hub sets the pivot for the steering assembly, changing to this part can affect caster and toe under load; check and re-align settings after installation.
Yes — after installing the hub, reassess toe and steering endpoints and make small adjustments to the servo-saver or linkages to optimise handling balance.
