This set of aluminum front upright knuckle arms serves as a scale replacement for TAMIYA TA01, TA02W, DF01 and Hotshot chassis. The gun metal surface finish describes the look, while the metal construction lowers flex compared to stock plastic pieces. The parts are aimed at boosting steering consistency and service life without modifying the original chassis geometry when installed correctly.
Fitting guidance: remove the factory front uprights and swap across any bearings or bushings you need from the originals. Fit the aluminum knuckles to the steering hubs and suspension uprights, using the vehicle's existing bolts where they match. After installation, verify steering range and wheel alignment, and re-torque screws after the initial test drive.
Impact on handling: replacing plastic uprights with aluminium increases front-end stiffness and can produce a crisper steering feel and clearer suspension feedback. Expect small adjustments to camber and toe trims to rebalance handling after the change.
