Technical upgrade for Tamiya Thunder Shot chassis

The JAZRIDER JR-TFD01-RD front knuckle arm is a machined aluminium replacement designed to address the common failure points of the plastic knuckles on Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher models. It provides a stiffer mounting for the steering link and wheel hub, improving repeatable steering inputs.

Material and build benefits

Constructed from corrosion resistant aluminium with an anodised red finish, this knuckle arm reduces flex under load and resists deformation from impacts. The improved rigidity delivers more consistent toe control and reduces unplanned steering variance at corner exit.

Fitting notes for hobbyists and tuners

Installation is intended as a bolt-in swap using existing fasteners on the compatible Tamiya platforms. When fitting, verify wheel pin and bearing condition and torque fasteners to recommended values. For tuners, small adjustments to steering linkage length may be used to fine tune Ackermann response.

Is this part intended for competition use?

The JR-TFD01-RD is suitable for both club and recreational competition where increased durability and repeatable steering are desirable.

Any special installation tips?

Clean mating surfaces, inspect bearings and replace any worn pins. Apply thread locker to metal-to-metal fasteners where appropriate and recheck torque after initial runs.

Will this affect cornering balance?

The increased stiffness reduces unintended steering deflection, which can tighten the steering response. Minor setup tweaks to camber or toe may be used to rebalance handling to driver preference.
