The XV056 alloy rear suspension arm is an aftermarket replacement manufactured to work with the Tamiya XV01 platform. Supplied as a 1pr set, it replaces the standard plastic rear arm to provide a stiffer mounting point for the rear linkage and damper geometry while keeping the original fitment pattern. The description emphasises correct fit and setup rather than inflated performance claims.
Installation is straightforward for XV01 owners: remove the stock rear arm assembly, transfer bearings or pivot pins where necessary, and secure the alloy arm with the factory fasteners. After fitting check pivot alignment and suspension travel to confirm there is no binding. Use thread locker on metal-to-metal fasteners if the car will see heavy vibration or moisture.
In tuning terms the alloy arm adds rigidity relative to plastic components, which sharpens rear feedback and can affect traction and steering balance. When fitting alloy arms consider matching setup adjustments such as spring rate, ride height, and toe to re-balance handling to your preference.
Suited to hobbyists wanting a metal rear arm for the XV01 to support more advanced tuning and improved long-term durability.
