TAMIYA Hotshot Rear Crank and Red Ball Rod Set JR-THS09-RD by Jazrider  [JR-THS09-RD]

Hotshot rear crank and ball-rod assembly

This JAZRIDER JR-THS09-RD kit supplies a rear suspension crank assembly and matching ball rod set intended for the TAMIYA Hotshot RC chassis. The components serve as direct replacement parts E2, E4 and E6 and provide a ready option when restoring worn linkages or swapping color-coded replacements for organisation during maintenance.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with Hotshot disassembly: remove the rear arm assembly to access the E-series cranks, transfer any required bearings, and fit the ball rods to the crank ends using the original ball studs and thread engagement. Verify free movement through the suspension travel, confirm there is no binding at full compression or droop, and re-check alignment before final tightening.

When restoring the rear suspension geometry, keep an eye on crank alignment and rod length as they influence roll centre and anti-squat behaviour; replacing fatigued ball rods helps maintain consistent response and repeatable setup changes. Use the set as a like-for-like spare for track or hobby use on Hotshot platforms.
