Durability and Finish for the XV-01

This set of aluminium front knuckle arms is intended for the TAMIYA XV-01 chassis and is supplied under the JR-XV100-BK part code. The metal replacements are specified to reduce wear points compared with stock plastic knuckles during regular hobby use.

The black anodized surface provides corrosion resistance and a harder contact surface to extend service life. These parts are produced to fit the standard XV-01 steering assembly and suspension pick-up points; installation normally requires moving bearings and fasteners from the original components to the alloy pieces.

Using aluminium components can change strain distribution through the front end, reducing flex around the hub and helping the steering hold a consistent feel over repeated runs. After installation, periodically check fasteners and bearing seats to catch early wear before it affects performance.

Do these knuckles resist wear better than plastic?

Yes, aluminium with a quality anodized finish generally offers superior abrasion resistance and dimensional stability compared with stock plastic knuckles under typical RC use.

Will anodize protect against corrosion?

Anodizing increases surface hardness and provides a protective oxide layer, which helps resist corrosion and wear; however, regular inspection is still recommended in harsh conditions.

How often should I inspect these parts?

Check contact areas, bearing seats and fastener tightness after the first few runs and then as part of routine maintenance to ensure there is no unexpected wear.
