Technical overview of the aluminium upper arms

The JAZRIDER JR-TFD04-RD upper arms are a practical aluminium upgrade intended for Tamiya Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon platforms. Fabricated with an anodised red finish, the arms provide enhanced impact resistance and stable suspension reference points compared with OEM plastic parts.

Material and functional advantages

Using aluminium increases stiffness and fatigue resistance versus common plastics. This reduces permanent deformation after impacts and helps maintain consistent camber and toe under load, which is beneficial for repeatable handling and lower maintenance frequency.

Fitment, hardware and installation notes

The arms are dimensioned to fit existing mounting bosses and suspension pin locations on the specified Tamiya models. Installation is typically direct fit using factory screws and pins. Verify fastener torque after initial installation and recheck after the first running session.

What chassis points are checked for compatibility?

Ensure the arm pivot spacing and shock tower clearance match the Thunder Shot family dimensions; JR-TFD04-RD is produced to those reference points.

Any recommended maintenance after fitting?

Inspect fasteners for correct torque, check for finish wear near contact points, and periodically verify pivot pin retention to avoid premature wear.

Are there tuning notes for performance use?

Because aluminium reduces lateral flex, you may need to fine tune shock valving or spring rates to retain the desired compliance and traction characteristics.
