This aftermarket aluminium front knuckle arm set is intended for the Tamiya XV-01 chassis. The red anodized finish identifies metal construction and presents a clear aesthetic and functional upgrade compared with stock plastic knuckles.
Fitment follows the XV-01 steering mounting configuration so the knuckles replace stock units using the existing chassis attachment points. Verify your exact XV-01 variant and hole spacing before installation.
Aluminium knuckles increase steering assembly stiffness relative to plastic, which can change steering precision and the front suspension response. Many hobbyists install metal knuckles when tuning for sharper steering or for increased part durability under greater loads.
The red anodised surface offers corrosion resistance and assists visual setup checks; avoid rough handling during disassembly to prevent surface marks.
