Precision Front C-Hub for WR02C

This CNC-friendly aluminium front C-hub is an aftermarket replacement developed for the Tamiya Honda City Turbo WR02C chassis. It provides the steering knuckle interface on the front end, delivering a robust mounting surface for the hub carrier and steering linkage while maintaining WR02C suspension geometry.

Supplied as a 1pr set, the component is designed for direct substitution of stock plastic hubs. Standard wheel bearings and hub pins are typically retained; only the C-hubs are swapped to alter steering compliance. The component is intended strictly for scale RC use.

From an engineering perspective, swapping to aluminium reduces deformation under load compared with injection-moulded plastic, enhancing turn-in precision and stabilizing steering feedback during high-load cornering. During installation verify steering-rod alignment, servo horn clearance, and bearing end float to ensure repeatable geometry and minimal play.

Specifications

  • Item: Front C-Hub 1pr set
  • Material: Aluminium
  • Model Number: WRC2020
  • Compatibility: Tamiya Honda City Turbo WR02C

Intended for enthusiasts seeking reduced steering deflection and improved input fidelity; verify all clearances and alignment after fitting for optimal performance.

What tolerances should I check during fitment?

Check hub bore to bearing clearance, pin fit, and the flatness of the mounting face to ensure no preload or misalignment is introduced.

Does aluminium require different fastener torque?

Use recommended torque values for aluminium components to avoid distortion; consider threadlocker on steel fasteners and avoid over-tightening into softer aluminium threads.

Will this alter suspension kinematics?

The mounting points are preserved, so kinematic geometry remains nominally unchanged, though reduced compliance may affect the dynamic behaviour under load.

Any recommended post-install checks?

Inspect for free bearing rotation, confirm steering range without binding, and perform a low-speed track test to validate alignment and steering feedback.
