This aluminum front C-hub is an RC-scale upgrade part designed for Tamiya TT-02B and DF-02 chassis. Machined from aluminum and finished in light blue, the C-hub replaces common factory plastic pieces to provide a firmer mounting point for the front steering assembly. It is meant for hobby use on 1/10-scale touring and drift models where tighter steering response and improved durability are desired.
Installation is straightforward for someone familiar with chassis work: remove the stock front C-hub, transfer any required pins or bushings, and secure the alloy C-hub using the existing hardware. Check kingpin and wheel bearing alignment after installation, and verify toe and camber settings as small differences in thickness can affect steering geometry. Use ordinary RC workshop practices such as hand-tightening then final snug torque and, if preferred, a threadlocker on steel fasteners.
Tuning role: swapping to an aluminum C-hub alters the front end stiffness and can reduce flex under load, which helps maintain steering consistency during cornering and braking in scale RC operation. Expect a modest change in steering feel rather than a large handling overhaul; combine this part with suspension and toe/camber adjustments to dial in on-track behaviour.
