This aluminium front knuckle arm is a direct-fit RC-scale accessory intended for the Tamiya Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon, and Terra Scorcher models listed in the product name. It replaces the stock front knuckle arm to provide a metal alternative for the front steering assembly without altering chassis geometry.
The part is finished in red anodized aluminum and is intended for use in the front suspension and steering linkage. When fitting, verify alignment with the existing hub carriers and steering blocks, reuse compatible fasteners and bearings from the original assembly where applicable, and confirm free movement through the steering range before running the model.
In tuning terms this item is used to reduce flex at the steering pivot compared with standard plastic pieces, offering a stable baseline for further front-end adjustments such as caster, toe, and shock mounting changes. Installation typically follows the same mounting points as the original knuckle arm and does not require chassis modification for the compatible models.
