Aluminum front upright fitment overview

This aluminum front upright set is an RC-scale replacement part designed for Tamiya WR02, DT03T and Blitzer Beetle front suspension assemblies. It focuses on providing firmer support for the steering knuckle area to reduce deflection under load, helping steering inputs remain consistent during aggressive cornering and varied terrain.

Installation follows standard front upright replacement steps used on these Tamiya chassis: remove the wheel hub and associated hardware, swap the upright while keeping existing bearings and fasteners, then check steering geometry and kingpin alignment. No special tools are required beyond common hex drivers and pliers typically used for Tamiya maintenance.

For tuning, consider this part as a rigidity upgrade: it pairs with stiffer suspension settings or higher-durometer bushings to sharpen steering response. Adjust toe-in and camber after installation to compensate for any change in front-end behaviour, and verify no binding occurs across the suspension travel.

Compatibility

  • WR02
  • DT03T
  • Blitzer Beetle

Can I reuse my original wheel bearings and hubs with this upright?

Yes, the design accepts the same wheel hubs and bearings used by the stock uprights for WR02/DT03T/Blitzer Beetle so reusing those components is the intended installation method.

Is any extra hardware required to mount these uprights?

Generally no extra hardware is needed; use the existing hex screws and retaining pins and confirm proper torque after assembly. Replace worn fasteners if found during installation.

Which setup checks should follow fitting these uprights?

After fitting, re-evaluate toe, camber and kingpin angle, run suspension through full travel to check for binding, and adjust front damping or sway bar rates if steering character changes noticeably.
