Replacement front upright for TAMIYA vintage buggies

This replacement front upright is intended for TAMIYA Hotshot, Bigwig and Boomerang 1/10-scale buggies. Machined from aluminum and finished in gun metal, it provides a stiffer steering pivot compared to the original plastic piece and improves longevity under track and club use.

The item is designed to accept a 5mm long ball connector to pair with typical Tamiya linkage hardware. It keeps the steering links and wheel hub geometry correct while reducing flex that can occur with the stock uprights.

To install, remove the original upright, transfer the wheel hub and bearings as needed, fit the long ball connector and check steering travel and toe once reassembled. Standard RC maintenance tools suffice for the fitment process.

Please note compatibility is limited to the TAMIYA models named in the product title; this is an aftermarket upgrade for vintage and 1/10-scale Tamiya setups where those uprights are fitted.

It is built to fit the Hotshot, Bigwig and Boomerang models specified in the title. Check your chassis layout against the product listing before purchase to confirm compatibility.
No. This is an aftermarket aluminum upgrade intended to improve durability and steering feel; it is not produced by the original chassis manufacturer.
Yes, the metal upright reduces flex and can offer more consistent steering under load, but always verify fitment and make any necessary tuning adjustments before racing.
