TAMIYA Front Knuckle Arm Upgrade for Thunder Shot Family, Aluminum JR-TFD01-BK by Jazrider  [JR-TFD01-BK]

Overview of the front knuckle

This black-anodized aluminum front knuckle arm is built for TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher models. It replaces the stock plastic knuckle to deliver a stronger mounting point for the front suspension components.

Serving as the steering pivot and hub mount, an alloy knuckle reduces flex and helps maintain suspension geometry during aggressive driving, improving repeatability compared with standard plastic parts.

Fitment advice: confirm bearing sizes, wheel hex compatibility and kingpin arrangement before finalising installation. Reuse factory fasteners where appropriate and renew any worn items; set bolt torque to recommended values to avoid damage.

Track impact: expect crisper turn-in and a more consistent contact patch when running grippier tyres or higher loads, making this a practical upgrade for competitive 1/10 TAMIYA buggies.
