Alloy knuckle overview

This aluminum front knuckle arm fits TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon and Terra Scorcher chassis and replaces the original plastic unit with a black anodized alloy part.

The component serves as the steering pivot and hub mount, and using an alloy knuckle increases stiffness, aiding steering precision and keeping suspension geometry more consistent under load.

Before fitting, verify wheel hex clearance, bearing fit and kingpin arrangement. Reuse OEM fasteners if sound and torque to the correct value to avoid damaging threads while ensuring the part is snug and play-free.

Use case: the knuckle is a straightforward upgrade for those seeking crisper turn-in and repeatable handling on 1/10 TAMIYA buggies.

Great stuff. Love the upgrades. Wish they did more though, love jazzing up my cars

Does this suit all Thunder Shot variants?

It is made for the named models; confirm your chassis layout and kingpin configuration before installation to ensure compatibility.

Is additional hardware usually needed?

In many cases existing bearings and hardware can be reused, but inspect for wear and replace any components that do not fit correctly.

What handling differences will I notice?

Expect a firmer steering response and more consistent geometry under load, which aids in sharper turn-in and stable setup changes.
