TAMIYA Hotshot Rear Suspension Crank and Ball Rod Set by JAZRIDER JR-THS09-RD  [JR-THS09-RD]

Rear suspension crank and ball rod set

This JAZRIDER JR-THS09-RD kit supplies a rear suspension crank assembly and matching ball rod set intended for the TAMIYA Hotshot RC chassis. The components serve as direct replacement parts E2, E4 and E6 and provide a ready option when restoring worn linkages or swapping color-coded replacements for organization during maintenance.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with Hotshot disassembly: remove the rear arm assembly to access the E-series cranks, transfer any required bearings, and fit the ball rods to the crank ends using the original ball studs and thread engagement. Verify free movement through the suspension travel, confirm there is no binding at full compression or droop, and re-check alignment before final tightening.

In setup and tuning the rear suspension, the crank geometry and ball rod condition affect roll center and anti-squat characteristics; replacing fatigued ball rods helps keep responses consistent and repeatable. Use the set to restore factory geometry after long use or as a like-for-like spare for track and hobby use on the Hotshot platform.
