Practical Aluminium C-Hub for Reliable Steering

The JAZRIDER Tamiya M-07 Aluminum Front C-Hub in Gun Metal is engineered as a direct replacement for the M-07 plastic hub. It is aimed at hobbyists who want a durable, low-maintenance steering pivot without complex fitting work.

Design Considerations for M-07 Chassis

This C-hub uses a simple form factor that matches Tamiya M-07 mounting points, minimising fitment changes. The aluminium material provides improved rigidity, helping to hold alignment under repeated loads.

Material Advantages and Workshop Notes

Aluminium reduces elastic deformation under steering loads, which keeps toe and caster settings more consistent. When installing, verify bearing and arm clearances and use the original hardware where appropriate to maintain correct geometry.

Installation Checklist

Tools needed are standard: hex drivers and screwdrivers. Fit the C-hub, confirm free steering travel, torque fasteners to appropriate levels and inspect after initial running. Routine checks of mount points will extend service life.

What should I check before fitting the JR-M703-GU?

Confirm the M-07 mounting holes and steering arm clearances match the hub. Inspect bearings and replace any that show play before assembly.

Does aluminium require different maintenance than plastic?

Maintenance is similar: keep pivots clean and check for wear on mating surfaces. Aluminium is less likely to deform but can transfer wear to softer parts if abraded.

Any tips to avoid creaks or binding after install?

Ensure bearings are seated correctly, use correct screw torque, and avoid over-tightening which can bind the steering. A light smear of appropriate lubricant on sliding surfaces helps.
