Everyday steering upgrade for Tamiya kits

The JAZRIDER Aluminum Front Upright is intended as a durable, user-friendly upgrade for Tamiya Hotshot, Bigwig, and Boomerang owners. Constructed from anodised aluminium in blue, the upright includes a 5mm long ball connector to reduce steering play and increase service life compared with stock plastic components.

Practical benefits for hobbyists

This upright provides consistent fitment and improved wear resistance, making it well suited to routine club use and casual off-road running. The aluminium construction maintains light weight while offering a more stable mounting point for steering linkages.

Fitment and routine care

Install by matching the factory mounting points and tightening screws to secure the uprights without over-torquing. Regularly check ball connectors for free movement and replace worn studs to retain predictable steering. Simple periodic inspections will keep the assembly reliable for everyday use.

Does the JAZRIDER JR-THS01-LB require chassis mods?

No chassis modification is typically required. The upright is designed to align with the standard mounting points on compatible Tamiya models.

How will the 5mm ball connector affect daily running?

The 5mm connector gives a firmer joint that reduces play under normal running conditions, improving steering feel without demanding extra maintenance.

What simple tools are recommended for upkeep?

A small hex driver and a set of pliers are enough for routine checks. Keep a spare set of ball studs on hand for quick replacement if needed.
