Front steering C-hub for Thunder Shot series

This machined aluminum C-hub is offered as a direct-fit option for the TAMIYA Thunder Shot family referenced in the title. It replicates the OEM mounting points but replaces the original plastic with aluminum and a gun metal coating to change steering load characteristics.

Fit and compatibility: covers Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher variants listed in the product name; always check fit against your chassis before finishing assembly. Reuse factory hardware when it matches to preserve intended suspension geometry.

Tuning and function: the C-hub locates the wheel spindle and affects toe and camber behaviour under dynamic loads. Expect a firmer response after installing the aluminum part; verify wheel alignment and any kingpin/caster settings then perform low-speed trials to assess handling before full-speed runs.

Does the aluminium hub need different screws than the stock piece?

Not usually. If the original screws seat properly they are fine to use; if threads or fit differ, choose hardware that matches the chassis threads without altering alignment.

Will longevity improve with aluminum?

Aluminum resists permanent deformation that can affect plastic parts, so you can expect better resistance to repeated loading, though impacts can still cause bends or cracking depending on force.

What colour and material are used?

The component is made from aluminum and finished in a gun metal tone as stated in the product title to combine strength with a subdued appearance.
