Front arm mount and gearbox support in blue anodize

This is an aluminium front suspension arm mount that also functions as a gearbox support, finished in blue anodized aluminium and referenced as model JR-TFD08-LB. It is supplied as a replacement A5 component for TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher, intended to increase local stiffness without changing primary suspension layout.

The component is designed to integrate with the original suspension and gearbox attachment points on the listed TAMIYA kits. Installation follows the stock A5 removal and replacement method and uses the same mounting locations and standard RC hardware; confirm fitment before final torque. No additional items are supplied.

Replacing the plastic A5 part with metal will provide a firmer mount for the gearbox and affect front-end feedback. For tuning, make incremental changes to suspension and steering settings and test progressively to find the preferred balance.

Package received, everything looks great. Thank you.

Fantastic fit and looks great! Should really help protect the car, since the A5 plastic piece was a major source of breakage in the Thunder Shot...

Is this an exact A5 replacement for the TAMIYA kits listed?

It is offered as an A5 replacement designed to align with the original mounting points on the specified TAMIYA models; always trial-fit to ensure correct alignment and clearance.

What handling differences should I expect after fitting this part?

Fitting an aluminium mount increases front bulkhead stiffness and can change steering feel and chassis feedback. Expect a firmer response and adjust damping and geometry gradually to tune handling.
