TAMIYA TA01/TA02W/DF01/Hotshot Aluminum Front Upright Knuckle Arms by JAZRIDER JR-TA101-GU  [JR-TA101-GU]

Aluminum front upright knuckles

This aluminum front upright knuckle arm set is an RC-scale replacement intended for TAMIYA TA01, TA02W, DF01 and Hotshot chassis. The gun metal finish identifies the surface treatment, while the aluminum construction reduces flex compared with standard plastic uprights. The component focuses on steering rigidity and longevity without altering chassis geometry when fitted correctly.

Installation notes cover common RC practice for this part: remove the original front uprights, transfer any bearings or insert bushings from the stock pieces, and fit the aluminum knuckles to the steering hubs and suspension uprights using the vehicle's existing hardware where compatible. After installation, verify steering travel and wheel alignment, and re-check fastener torque after the first run to confirm no loosening.

Tuning role: replacing plastic uprights with aluminum knuckles increases front-end stiffness which can sharpen steering response and make suspension feedback more direct. This change affects how camber and toe settings respond at the wheel, so expect to make small trim adjustments after installation to restore subjective handling balance.
