Blue-Anodized Rear Uppers for Hotshot Chassis

The JAZRIDER JR-THS05-LB set provides aluminum rear upper suspension arms specifically for TAMIYA Hotshot and Super Hotshot models. Swapping out the stock plastic pieces gives a firmer pivot area and a repeatable geometry that helps with setup consistency.

These components are intended only for the Hotshot range named in the listing. The blue anodized finish offers an attractive surface and improved wear resistance for hobby use, not for real-world vehicle applications.

Fitment advice: on compatible Hotshot variants these arms install in place of the OEM rear uppers without chassis cutting. Inspect your existing hinge pins and mounting hardware and confirm clearance through full travel before final assembly. Expect handling changes that may require adjustments to toe and shock settings.

Why upgrade: aluminium rear upper arms reduce chassis-induced flex at the suspension mounting points, which helps maintain camber under load and improves predictability when tuning for different track surfaces.

A practical hop-up for Hotshot owners wanting a stiffer rear mounting point and better repeatability during setup and racing.

Aluminum will resist deformation better than injection-moulded plastic under similar loads, so you will see less flex at the mounting point. However, aluminium can bend or crack under extreme impact where plastic might fracture differently.
Anodizing helps protect the aluminium surface and provides colour, but it can still show marks from hard impacts. It is not indestructible but offers improved protection over raw metal.
The product is described with a blue anodized finish, which is a common protective and cosmetic treatment for aluminium hop-ups.
Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, but regular cleaning and drying after wet or salty conditions is recommended to preserve finish and prevent hardware corrosion.
