This aluminium rear hub is presented as a direct replacement for the TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher models. With a gun metal finish and machined surfaces, it offers a metal alternative to the original plastic hub to aid repeatable rear alignment during both recreational and spirited running.
Intended role: the hub is the rear wheel carrier interface that secures the wheel hex and helps keep axle alignment. As an aluminium component it reduces the compliance of plastic hubs and supports consistent suspension geometry under load.
Fitment advice: the piece is designed to be fitted in the stock location using the original hub hardware and wheel hex from the listed TAMIYA models. Always check that the wheel hex fully engages, clearances are correct around drive and brake parts, and consider thread locker on bolts for a secure fit.
Practical tuning comment: installing an aluminium hub typically reduces wheel mount deflection and makes rear geometry adjustments more repeatable; overall handling effects will depend on shocks, tyre selection and drivetrain condition.
