This aluminum front knuckle arm is made as an RC-scale replacement part for TAMIYA TL-01, GF-01 and WR02CB chassis. Machined from dark blue anodized aluminum, the piece swaps in for the stock plastic knuckle to give a firmer steering pivot and more consistent response under load while remaining intended for hobby RC use.
Installation is simple for those familiar with TAMIYA suspension layouts: remove the original knuckle, transfer any bearings or bushings, and fasten the aluminum arm with the stock mounting hardware. Ensure steering link alignment and avoid over-tightening bolts to prevent binding; the part is designed to mate with the standard steering link geometry used on the listed chassis.
As a tuning upgrade, the aluminum knuckle increases steering rigidity and can alter toe-in and steering feel. After fitment, check steering throw and static camber, then make small adjustments to link lengths or servo centring to restore the handling balance you want. The anodized finish reduces surface wear but routine inspection of bearings and pivots is still recommended.
