This aluminum rear hub carrier is an RC-scale replacement part designed for the TAMIYA XV-01 chassis, finished in light blue and supplied as model XV01-13404-LB. It replaces the standard plastic carrier to provide a metal mounting point for the rear hub assembly, matching original geometry while offering increased rigidity.
Role in tuning: swapping the plastic carrier for an aluminum unit reduces flex at the rear hub and stabilizes mounting surfaces, which helps keep rear toe and camber adjustments consistent during setup sessions and track runs. The change targets model-level suspension and wheel alignment refinement rather than altering the basic suspension layout.
Installation notes: remove the rear wheel and associated fasteners to replace the stock carrier, transfer any bearings or inserts from the original unit if required, and refit using the original hardware. Check hub alignment and free rotation before testing, and tighten fasteners to a safe torque without risking thread damage.
