Durability upgrade for the front end

The JR-TFD02-LB front C-hub is an aluminium replacement designed for TAMIYA Thunder Shot related buggies and supplied by Jazrider as an aftermarket option. It replaces the stock plastic hub to offer a more robust steering pivot for repeated use and aggressive running.

Fitting this hub helps maintain precise wheel pivot geometry on compatible models. Aluminium construction resists flex better than the original plastic parts, which can translate to steadier feedback from the front suspension during high-load running or extended sessions.

Installation: verify wheel hex, kingpin and bearing dimensions before fitting, carefully remove the factory C-hub and transfer bearings or hardware as required, and recheck wheel alignment and toe settings after assembly. Regular inspection is recommended to confirm there is no unusual wear after converting to metal components.

Great stuff. Love the upgrades. Wish they did more though, love jazzing up my cars
Aluminium offers higher rigidity and is less prone to deformation under load, improving longevity in demanding conditions. However, check mating bearings and pins for wear since metal-on-metal contact changes stress distribution.
Periodically inspect for corrosion, burrs or damage and ensure fasteners remain torqued correctly. Light lubrication of contact areas and routine bearing checks extend service life.
Because aluminium is stiffer than plastic, some impacts may be passed on to adjacent components; monitor related parts such as spindles and steering links after installation.
