Machined aluminium lower arm for The Hornet and Grasshopper

This machined aluminium front lower arm includes a spring mount integrated into the lower arm body and is an aftermarket replacement for Tamiya CW-01 chassis variants such as The Hornet and Grasshopper. It preserves the factory suspension layout while replacing the original plastic arm with a stiffer aluminium piece aimed at consistent geometry.

Installation advice: fit the arm in the OEM lower arm location and use the vehicle's existing hinge pins and fasteners. Verify hinge pin seating and clearances, then inspect suspension travel to prevent binding. Keep original ball studs, bushings, or bearings where appropriate for your setup.

Durability note: the aluminium arm reduces flex that can cause inconsistent handling. Use JR-LB02-RD when you want a robust, repeatable spring anchor that lasts through aggressive running and frequent setup changes.

Specifications

  • Item: Front lower arm with spring mount
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Model Number: JR-LB02-RD
  • Compatibility: Tamiya CW-01 / The Hornet / Grasshopper

Fit JR-LB02-RD to replace fatigued plastic lower arms or to secure the spring mount position for consistent cornering behavior; confirm fitment and continue to use OEM hardware when it is serviceable.

How does aluminium handle crashes compared with the stock arm?

Aluminium resists flex and fatigue better than stock plastic, reducing deformation from repeated impacts. However, hard impacts can still dent or bend aluminium, so inspect after heavy crashes.

Will corrosion be a concern in damp conditions?

Most machined aluminium arms have protective finishes; rinse off salt or grit and dry components after wet runs to extend service life. Consider light corrosion protection if you run in coastal environments.

How often should I check for wear?

Inspect hinge areas and mounting points after every few sessions. Look for play at the hinge pin or distortion around the spring mount and replace if you detect movement that affects geometry.

Is this arm more resistant to fatigue over time?

Yes, the stiffer aluminium construction reduces repeated flexing, which helps maintain consistent geometry and setup over longer service intervals versus plastic arms.
