This uprights set is an aluminum front upright knuckle arm designed for Tamiya TA01, TA02W, DF01 and Hotshot chassis configurations. The part replaces stock plastic uprights with a metal alternative to increase steering pivot stiffness and strengthen the mounting area for steering links and wheel hubs.
Install these uprights when you want a compact upgrade focused on steering precision and repeatable geometry. The aluminum parts help keep toe and camber settings stable through repeated runs and reduce deformation from impacts compared with original plastic components.
Installation notes: made for the listed Tamiya models; align with existing holes and reuse factory hardware when compatible. Front suspension disassembly is required to remove the originals and refit the aluminum uprights, typically using a hex driver and the same screws or ball studs.
Tuning role: the uprights act as a rigid mounting point for steering adjustments and are useful when refining ackermann, roll center, or toe without replacing major suspension elements.
