This machined aluminum rear knuckle arm is made as a direct-fit replacement for the Tamiya TA01, TA02, DF01 and FF01 chassis where a metal knuckle is desired to reduce flex. The light blue anodized surface aids identification and the aluminum body increases stiffness versus common plastic components, helping keep rear steering geometry stable under load.
Fitting is straightforward for users comfortable with standard chassis work: remove the original knuckle, inspect the hub carrier and fasteners, then mount the aluminium arm using the existing hardware. Standard Tamiya hex drivers suffice; ensure correct thread engagement and avoid over-torquing to protect surrounding plastic items.
In practice the aluminium arm cuts down rear steering compliance for a firmer response and offers a more durable spare option for regular use. Always recheck wheel alignment and bearing clearances after installation to confirm handling and avoid unexpected contact.
