Aftermarket aluminum rear knuckles for Hotshot

This aluminum rear knuckle arm set is an RC replacement part intended for TAMIYA Hotshot and Super Hotshot chassis. It provides a firmer mounting surface compared with common plastic knuckles and serves as a simple upgrade when refining rear suspension geometry.

Compatibility is limited to the Hotshot and Super Hotshot families as indicated; check your chassis layout before installation. The components use the same mounting positions as the original knuckle arms, permitting reuse of existing screws and linkages where appropriate. There is no assumption that additional fasteners are supplied.

Fitting notes: remove the rear hub carriers and factory knuckle arms, fit the aluminum arms to the upright and secure using the chassis' existing screws and ball studs if they match. Apply appropriate torque for small RC hardware to prevent thread damage. After fitting, verify wheel alignment and suspension travel before use.

Setup impact: installing aluminum knuckles delivers a consistent pivot point for toe and camber adjustments, making comparative tuning runs more reliable. Integrate these arms into broader setup changes rather than treating them as a single solution.

Can I expect exact OEM fitment with stock Hotshot parts?

Yes, these are made to align with the standard stock mounting points for Hotshot and Super Hotshot rear knuckles, but check for any chassis modifications that could alter fitment.

Are additional adjustments normally required after swapping knuckles?

After installation you may need minor alignment or shock tuning tweaks to restore handling balance, since the stiffer pivot will influence toe and camber behavior under load.
