Tamiya TA01 Alloy C-Hub with Integrated 5x8 Bushing TA1020 by GPM  [TA1020]

Technical overview of the TA01 alloy C-hub

This alloy bearing C-hub is an engineered aftermarket component for the Tamiya TA01 chassis, designed to deliver a firmer pivot support and consistent alignment using an integrated 5x8 bushing. The construction is focused on improved rigidity at the steering interface while keeping fitment within TA01 service practices.

The part replaces the original plastic C-hub to provide a metal-to-metal contact area where the steering knuckle meets the hub carrier and where the bushing or bearing locates, reducing deformation under steering loads and improving repeatability of toe and camber settings during setup and competitive use.

Installation notes: the alloy hub installs into the TA01 using standard mount locations and accepts the 5x8 bushing at the pivot. Verify bushing seating and steering knuckle clearance during trial assembly, reuse TA01 hardware where appropriate, and confirm there is no binding through full suspension articulation.

A precision upgrade where increased hub stiffness and reliable pivot geometry are required for advanced TA01 setup and performance testing.
