Engineering Focused Aluminium Lower Arms

The JAZRIDER JR-TFD05-GU suspension arms are produced to meet the dimensional requirements of Tamiya Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher chassis. These gun metal aluminium arms provide a firmer mounting point, reducing compliance that can alter handling under dynamic loads.

Performance and Service Life

By replacing injection moulded arms with machined aluminium components, the JR-TFD05-GU improves resistance to wear and preserves suspension geometry. This promotes repeatable handling characteristics and reduces the frequency of replacement parts in a maintenance plan.

Installation and Setup Considerations

Installation uses OEM mounting locations with no permanent modifications required. After fitting JAZRIDER JR-TFD05-GU arms, expect small changes in suspension behaviour; re-evaluate camber, toe and droop and adjust link lengths or shock damping for an optimised setup.

What materials and finish are used?

The arms are aluminium with a gun metal finish to resist surface wear and provide a consistent appearance while maintaining structural integrity under load.

Should I change pivot hardware after fitting?

Inspect pivot pins and bushings for fit. Using hardened or OEM-spec hardware is recommended to maintain tight tolerances and minimise slop over time.

How do these affect setup for competitive running?

Aluminium arms reduce flex, which can shift balance toward more responsive steering. Tuning spring rates, shock damping and toe settings will help you exploit the changed dynamics for lap time improvements.
