TAMIYA TA01 Front Knuckle Arm Aluminium Upgrade TA1021 by GPM  [TA1021]

TA01 front knuckle arms in aluminium

This aftermarket front knuckle arm set is a direct replacement for the TAMIYA TA01 chassis. The aluminium knuckles are specified to suit the TA01 steering and suspension layout and provide a robust alternative to the original plastic components for hobbyists pursuing improved durability and setup consistency.

Compatibility and function: the knuckle arm secures the wheel hub and connects suspension and steering linkages, so accurate fitment to the TA01 steering knuckles and linkage points is the main consideration. The parts use the chassis mounting locations and standard fasteners; confirm correct left/right placement during the build.

Fitting advice: remove the factory knuckle arms and transfer any bushings or spacers, inspect bearings and hinge pins for wear, then mount the alloy arms aligning steering linkages and checking full suspension travel for any binding. Recheck toe and steering play after installation.

Handling implications: alloy arms change stiffness at the wheel mounting points which can stabilise geometry but also alter steering feel. Fit these arms to gain more consistent geometry under load, then adjust alignment and damping to maintain predictable handling.

The alloy front knuckle arm set is presented as a straightforward upgrade for TA01 owners wanting metal suspension components for steadier tuning results. Transfer the necessary original parts and check wheel alignment after fitting.
