This gun metal finished aluminum rear hub carrier is designed as a direct replacement for the TAMIYA M-07 chassis. It replaces the OEM plastic carrier to give a firmer mounting location for the rear suspension and wheel hub, which can alter suspension geometry and on-track handling for scale touring cars.
Installation involves removing the rear suspension components to extract the original carrier, then transferring the wheel hub elements and bearings into the new part. Confirm correct hub alignment and drive component positioning before final torque. Use standard small hex drivers and protect bearings during seating; do not overtighten fasteners to avoid preload issues.
In tuning terms, switching to an aluminum carrier stiffens the rear assembly relative to plastic, which may affect traction and steering balance. Treat this as one change in an iterative setup process and compare results with tyre and shock adjustments.
