This aluminum front lower arm mount plate is an aftermarket RC-scale accessory made for the Tamiya Hornet EVO (58742). It replaces the stock plastic mount with a machined aluminum component, giving a firmer mounting point for the front lower arms and helping preserve suspension geometry during heavy loads.
Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with Tamiya chassis layouts: the plate uses the original mounting points and standard hardware, so no chassis modifications are required beyond basic hex drivers. Verify fitment on your chassis before final torquing and confirm ball stud clearances when reassembling the front suspension.
From a setup perspective the plate reinforces the lower arm pivot rather than providing direct horsepower gains: expect reduced flex at the pivot which makes steering and throttle inputs feel more consistent through corners and high-traction situations. Start with your baseline shock and arm settings after fitting, then test small camber and toe changes to dial handling to your preference.
