Aluminium front knuckles for the XV-01 platform

These aluminium knuckle arms are designed to replace the front steering knuckles on the Tamiya XV-01 chassis and are designated XV01-13400-LB. They are meant to serve as the steering and hub mounting points, providing a firmer connection for the front suspension assembly.

Fitting the parts requires standard front hub disassembly: remove wheel and hub carrier, disconnect the steering link, swap in the aluminium knuckles, then reassemble while checking steering geometry and clearance. Use the same screw and bushing sizes recommended by the chassis manual and confirm fit before use.

The aluminium construction reduces flex around the steering pivot, offering a more stable anchor for the steering link and wheel hub. This reduced compliance can result in more predictable steering response when tuning caster, toe, and other front-end parameters.

What should I verify before fitting these knuckles?

Confirm that your hub carrier and steering link mounting points match the XV-01 pattern and check screw lengths to avoid interference with suspension movement.

How do these knuckles change handling characteristics?

By reducing steering assembly flex, aluminium knuckles typically make steering inputs feel more immediate and consistent, which helps drivers fine-tune handling during setup sessions.

Should I expect to replace the original hardware?

If the listing does not state included fasteners, plan to use existing screws and spacers that match the chassis specifications, or acquire suitable replacements that maintain correct geometry.
