Aftermarket aluminium upper arms for Hotshot platforms

This RC front upper suspension arm set replaces the plastic original components with machined aluminium to provide a firmer front mounting on Tamiya Hotshot cars. The arms retain stock geometry while lowering compliance under load for improved handling predictability.

Installation is similar to stock arm replacement: remove the originals, transfer pins or spacers where needed, and mount the aluminium arms with the supplied or original hardware. Verify ball stud seating and steering clearance to prevent binding after assembly.

Performance effect: the stiffer arms sharpen steering response and help control deflection in high-load situations such as hard cornering or landings. They are best applied alongside shock and link setup changes to maintain a balanced handling profile.

Select these arms to gain a stable, repeatable front mounting point for detailed setup work; always recheck alignment and fastener torque after your first run.

Do these arms require any chassis modification to fit?

They are made to match the factory mounting layout for Hotshot models, so no chassis modification is normally needed; check pin sizes and spacers on older builds.

What handling changes should I expect after fitting?

Expect a firmer front end and crisper turn-in; you may need to fine-tune camber, toe or shock settings to reestablish your preferred balance.

Is additional maintenance needed for aluminium arms?

Periodic checks of fastener torque and hardware wear are recommended, as aluminium transfers loads differently than plastic parts.

How can I verify the part number on arrival?

The model number JR-THS04-RD is printed in the specifications; confirm that the parts and included documentation match this number before fitting.
