This aluminium front suspension arm mount also serves as a gearbox support, finished in blue anodize and sold as model JR-TFD08-LB. It is presented as a replacement for the A5 front mount on TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher chassis and focuses on increasing front-end rigidity rather than altering primary suspension geometry.
The part is intended to fit the factory front suspension and gearbox locations on the specified TAMIYA kits. Installation normally follows the stock A5 removal and replacement process, using existing mounting points and common RC fasteners; always test fit before completing assembly. No additional parts are supplied.
As an aluminum upgrade this component stiffens the local front bulkhead area and gives a stable mounting surface for the gearbox. That change can affect steering feedback and balance, so tune shock settings and link lengths in small steps while assessing performance.
