Tamiya XV01 Metal Rear Arm Upgrade XV056 for tuning by GPM  [XV056]

Metal rear suspension arm tailored to XV01

The XV056 alloy rear suspension arm is an aftermarket metal replacement for the Tamiya XV01 chassis. Supplied as a 1pr set, it replaces the standard plastic arm to provide a more rigid mounting location for the rear suspension linkage and shock geometry while maintaining factory mounting points. The write up concentrates on correct installation and tuning implications rather than exaggerated claims.

Fitment is simple for those experienced with the XV01 layout: remove the stock arm, move any bearings or pivot hardware across as needed, and fasten the alloy arm using the original screws. Check pivot alignment and full suspension travel after assembly to ensure no binding. Consider using thread locker on metal-to-metal fasteners for added security in rough running.

From a setup view the alloy arm increases rigidity over plastic parts, changing rear feedback and possibly altering traction and steering balance. After fitting consider matching adjustments like spring rates, ride height, and toe to fine tune handling for your preferred driving style.

An option for hobbyists seeking a robust metal rear arm for the XV01 to support heavier tuning and extended service life.
