This aluminium front upright knuckle arm set is the JR-TA701-GU offering for use with the Tamiya TA07 platform, designed to replace the standard front upright assembly. The items feature a gun metal finish intended to resist corrosion and present a clean appearance.
In function the uprights locate the front hubs, accept steering linkages and wheel hexes, and impact steering stiffness and feedback. Upgrading from plastic typically reduces flex at the steering joint and helps retain consistent geometry during hard cornering and extended use.
Installation mirrors the stock parts: these uprights mount to the same TA07 locations and use existing screws and wheel hardware. When installing, confirm screw torque and match with your chosen hubs and hexes to keep steering play minimal.
