This aluminum rear hub is presented as a direct replacement part for the TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher buggies. Machined in a gun metal finish, it focuses on replacing the stock rear hub with a metal alternative intended for RC-scale durability and consistent rear geometry under track and hobby use.
Design and role: the hub serves as the rear wheel carrier interface, keeping wheel hex and axle alignment. As an aluminum component, it provides a firmer mounting point compared with standard plastic hubs which can help maintain suspension geometry during aggressive cornering or in rough surfaces.
Installation notes: this part is intended to swap into the stock location using the original hub hardware and wheel hex setup from the listed TAMIYA models. Check fitment visually before final assembly, confirm wheel hex engagement and clearances with the hub and brake/drive components, and use thread locker on applicable bolts if you prefer a semi-permanent installation.
Tuning considerations: hobbyists often use an aluminum rear hub to reduce flex at the wheel mount and to provide repeatable alignment when adjusting toe, camber or rear track. Changes in feel will depend on your overall chassis setup including shock settings, tires and drivetrain condition.
