CW-01 Aluminium Front Bulk (fits The Hornet/Grasshopper) - JR-LB05-GU by Jazrider  [JR-LB05-GU]

Machined front bulk for CW-01 chassis

This aluminium front arm bulk is an aftermarket upgrade for the Tamiya CW-01 family, covering The Hornet and Grasshopper, listed as JR-LB05-GU. It swaps in for the standard front bulk to provide a stiffer anchor for the front suspension on 1/10 buggies.

Built from machined aluminium with a gun metal coating, the design favours rigidity and repeatable fit rather than saving grams. The stiffer mounting point cuts front-end flex so steering inputs and wheel alignment remain more stable across rough terrain.

Installation is straightforward: it mounts to the same front arm locations on the CW-01 chassis as the OEM bulk. Because it becomes part of the suspension structure, drivers will notice changes in steering feedback and handling balance, useful when refining setup for quicker turn-in.

Care involves keeping contact areas clean and checking fastener holes for wear after extended use. The gun metal surface reduces the visibility of scratches but remember this is intended to improve chassis stiffness and setup control, not weight reduction.
