Upgraded aluminium upper arms for Hotshot-series cars

The aluminium front upper suspension arms are an aftermarket replacement for the original plastic pieces on Tamiya Hotshot platform vehicles. They are machined to maintain stock geometry while providing a less compliant mounting point for the front end.

Fitting follows standard replacement procedure: remove the factory upper arms, carry over bushings and pins as required, and fit the aluminium units using the original fasteners. After assembly, inspect steering clearance and full suspension travel to ensure nothing binds.

Handling notes: increased front-end stiffness can sharpen turn-in and reduce unwanted flex during aggressive maneuvers. These arms work best when combined with complementary setup changes to shocks and link geometry to regain an even handling balance.

Use these arms to achieve a firmer, more predictable front mounting point; always verify steering geometry and retorque hardware after the initial test runs.

They are produced to match the factory mounting points for the Hotshot range; older cars typically accept them directly but confirm pin and spacer dimensions on legacy chassis.
Inspect steering links, ball studs and hinge pins for wear; replacing tired hardware alongside the arms ensures correct geometry and reduces the chance of premature wear.
Consider reinforcing or checking adjacent mounting points and ensure shock settings are tuned to avoid transferring harsher impacts into weaker chassis areas.
After installation, confirm free steering sweep and full suspension articulation, then perform a short test run and recheck fastener torque and alignment.
