Aluminum front uprights for TAMIYA TA-series chassis

This aluminum front upright knuckle arm set is designed for TAMIYA TA-series RC models and is listed as JR-TA101-DB in dark blue. The parts replace the stock plastic uprights to reduce flex at the steering pivot and provide a firmer interface between the wheel hub and steering linkage while keeping the original mounting points.

Install notes: the uprights are made to use the vehicle's existing kingpin and ball-stud locations along with the hub carrier hardware. Before fitting, check ball-stud engagement and wheel hex alignment; small trimming of thread-lock buildup or paint on mating surfaces may be necessary to guarantee free movement. These components are intended for scale RC chassis use only.

Tuning impact: replacing plastic uprights with aluminum changes steering compliance and load transfer through the front suspension. Expect less flex under strong steering inputs, which helps steering precision and consistency through corners. Re-set toe, camber, and steering link geometry after installation to restore the desired handling balance.

Compatibility

  • Tamiya TA01
  • Tamiya TA02W
  • Tamiya DF01
  • Tamiya Hotshot
Dry-fit the upright to the hub carrier and confirm the ball-stud aligns with the steering arm. Rotate the hub through its full lock range to check for binding before applying thread-lock or final fasteners.
No special hardware is required if your hub carrier and kingpin locations are stock. Use the original screws and verify torque; if threads are tight, consider fitting washers to maintain proper spacing.
After a short run, re-check ball-stud seating, ensure free steering travel, and measure toe and camber to confirm the setup matches your target handling.
