This gun metal aluminum front suspension arm mount and gearbox support is catalogued as JR-TFD08-GU and serves as an RC-scale replacement for the A5 bracket fitted on certain TAMIYA chassis. Its machined surfaces provide a consistent datum for arm pivots.
It is compatible with TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon, and Terra Scorcher models where the A5 location is used. The part adds rigidity to the front assembly and secures the gearbox mounting area for reliable setup checks.
Fitting is straightforward: locate the A5 mounting point on the chassis, position the mount and fasten with the original hardware where possible. Verify that steering linkages and shock towers clear the new mount and that pivot alignment is maintained before final torque.
Tuning role: swapping to this mount helps maintain repeatable pivot geometry while you work on toe, caster, and ride height adjustments on the compatible TAMIYA models.
