Tamiya XV-01 C Hub Hop-Up for Improved Steering - XV01-13401-LB by Jazrider  [XV01-13401-LB]

Aluminium C hub upgrade for improved steering response

This replacement C hub is produced for use on Tamiya XV-01 based RC racing chassis and compatible DB01/DB02/TRF502X/TRF503 layouts. The part is an aluminium C hub finished in light blue anodizing intended as a direct hop-up or replacement where the original plastic hubs are worn or when a stiffer steering response is desired.

Fit and compatibility follow the model codes listed in the product name, so confirm chassis type before ordering. Installation typically requires removing the existing hub and reusing the stock wheel hex and steering link hardware; no additional adapters are described in the source listing. The aluminium construction increases rigidity compared with standard plastic hubs and can change steering feel and response as part of a broader handling setup.

For setup and tuning, treat this component as one element in the front steering geometry. When swapping to aluminium hubs consider checking toe, camber, and steering linkage for any unwanted pre-load, and re-tighten hex screws to the original torque to avoid thread damage. The light blue anodize provides a visual cue for upgraded parts but does not alter mechanical fit.
