This aluminum front knuckle arm is produced as a scale replacement for TAMIYA TL-01, GF-01 and WR02CB chassis. Crafted from dark blue anodized aluminum, it replaces common plastic knuckles to deliver a firmer steering pivot and better repeatability when the chassis is under load, while remaining intended for RC model use.
Fitting is straightforward for hobbyists used to TAMIYA suspension: remove the OEM knuckle, transfer bearings or bushings where applicable, and secure the aluminum arm with the original hardware. Confirm steering link alignment and tighten fasteners moderately to prevent binding; the design suits the standard steering link geometry of the named chassis.
As a tuning part, the aluminum knuckle slightly raises steering rigidity and may influence toe and steering response. After installation, verify steering travel and wheel camber at rest and on full travel, then adjust link lengths or servo centring in small steps to regain your preferred handling. The anodized finish helps reduce local wear but does not remove the need for periodic checks of bearings and pivots.
