JAZRIDER JR-DT306-GR: Stiffer Steering Knuckle for DT-03

The JAZRIDER JR-DT306-GR front upright is a precision replacement for the Tamiya DT-03 plastic knuckle. Machined aluminium construction increases stiffness at the steering pivot, reducing deflection under lateral loads for clearer steering feedback.

Material and Performance Notes

Manufactured from anodised aluminium, this upright balances rigidity with controlled mass to preserve suspension dynamics. The reduced flex at the mount points improves repeatable geometry under braking and cornering loads, aiding setup consistency.

Installation and Service Guidance

Install as a direct swap, confirming all fasteners torque to recommended values and verifying steering angles after assembly. Inspect the upright and mounting hardware regularly for fretting or wear and replace fasteners showing signs of fatigue.

What torque values are recommended for the mounting screws?

Use manufacturer recommended torque for DT-03 steering hardware, typically low to medium torque suitable for aluminium to avoid thread damage. Consult your service manual.

Can I reuse the stock ball studs and bearings?

Stock ball studs and sealed bearings are compatible if they are in good condition. Replace worn bearings to maintain precise steering motion.

Recommended inspections after installation?

After initial fitting, inspect for correct alignment, check screw torque after a short break-in run and look for signs of wear at the contact points during routine maintenance.
