These aluminum rear lower arms serve as a scale replacement for the Tamiya Hornet EVO (58742) chassis and are designated JR-THNE02-GU. They substitute the stock plastic lowers with an aluminum unit that provides a stiffer mounting location and higher wear resistance favored by racers and club drivers.
Fitment is specific to the Hornet EVO designation in the title. The arms use the existing hinge-pin locations and related rear suspension hardware, so no special adapters or modified mounting plates are required. Clean mating surfaces and inspect bearings and pins to ensure smooth articulation during installation.
As a hop-up the change in material affects flex characteristics versus the OEM plastic arms, which can modify rear grip and transient dynamics. After installation, confirm static toe and camber, check droop travel under load, and verify wheel hexes and retainers are secure following a test session.
Workshop guidance: follow Hornet EVO torque specs, avoid over-torqueing fasteners that could preload bearings, and check for rubbing or interference throughout full suspension travel before regular use.
