Practical aluminium rear hub carrier for M-07

The JR-M702-GU is a precision-machined gun metal aluminium rear hub carrier that serves as a direct replacement for the TAMIYA M-07 plastic carrier. It provides a firmer mounting interface for the rear suspension and wheel hub assembly, which helps reduce flex and maintain consistent rear geometry under load.

Installation notes: disassemble the rear suspension, remove the stock carrier and transfer wheel hub components and bearings into the new aluminium unit. Verify bearing seating, spline and axle alignment, and torque fasteners to recommended values to avoid preload. Standard hobby hex drivers and bearing pliers are sufficient for the swap.

Tuning considerations: the alloy carrier raises rear-end rigidity, which can modify traction and steering balance. Use this component as part of iterative tuning alongside damper valving, tyre choice and toe adjustments to achieve predictable handling.

What checks should I make after fitting JR-M702-GU?

Confirm bearing fit, hub alignment and drive spline engagement. Run a short test session and recheck fastener torque and bearing play before extended use.

Will I need different shock settings?

Possibly. Increased rear stiffness can change weight transfer and damping behavior; start with small increments in shock damping and evaluate on-track response.

Is JR-M702-GU compatible with worn hubs?

If hubs or bearings are worn, replace them prior to installation. The aluminium carrier assumes correct bearing dimensions for proper seating and alignment.
