This front axle knuckle is an aftermarket reinforcement made for the 1/10 TAMIYA Hotshot II chassis. Crafted from 7075 aluminium, the unit focuses on higher stiffness and exact bearing seating to keep CVD shafts turning true under aggressive track or street use.
The design accepts larger inner bearings and holds bearing centres in correct relation to the CVD, reducing slop in the front driveline. Tuners will appreciate the lower weight compared with heavier cast parts while gaining improved alignment under load.
Installation follows the normal front-end disassembly sequence for Hotshot II models; move bearings and CVD bits into the new knuckle and check clearances. Confirm free rotation of the CVD before finishing the build to avoid binding on the first run.
A practical 7075 alternative for Hotshot II owners wanting reduced flex and dependable bearing placement for regular maintenance and setup work.
