This aluminium rear hub is offered as a direct replacement for the TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher models. Finished in gun metal, the machined part aims to upgrade the stock plastic hub for greater long-term resilience and stability during hobby sessions.
Role and advantages: the hub serves as the rear wheel carrier interface and secures the wheel hex and axle alignment. Being metal, it provides a firmer mount versus the original plastic piece, which helps maintain suspension geometry when cornering or running over rough terrain.
Fitting notes: the component is intended to use the original hub hardware and wheel hex configuration from the listed TAMIYA models. Verify fitment visually, ensure proper hex engagement and check clearances around brake and drive items before completing assembly.
Tuning impact: fitting an aluminium rear hub is a common way to reduce wheel mount flex and produce repeatable rear alignment adjustments. The exact on-track effect will vary with shock settings, tyre choice and drivetrain condition.
