Yes, the Fastrax TA151B Aluminium Rear Trailing Arms are designed as a direct hop-up replacement for the stock parts on the Tamiya BBX BB-01 chassis.
You will typically need standard RC car tools, including small Phillips head screwdrivers and possibly hex drivers, depending on the original hardware used on your Tamiya BBX.
Aluminium is generally denser than plastic. These arms may add a small amount of weight to the rear of the car, which could slightly alter weight distribution and handling characteristics.
While possible, painting aluminium parts may require specific metal primers and paints. The existing finish is durable; repainting is usually for aesthetic customization and may void any warranty on the finish.
Use a soft, dry cloth for routine cleaning. For dirtier arms, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
A 'Hop Up Part' is an aftermarket upgrade component designed to enhance the performance, durability, or appearance of an RC vehicle beyond its stock specifications.
Verify that you have the correct model (Tamiya BBX BB-01) and that the parts are oriented correctly according to your vehicle's manual. Ensure no foreign debris is obstructing the mounting points.
Check for stripped screw threads on either the arm or the chassis. Ensure you are using the correct size screws as specified in your Tamiya BBX manual. Avoid excessive force when tightening.
Aluminium parts can be less flexible than plastic. Ensure the suspension arms are installed without binding. Check that shock mounting points are clear and that shocks are functioning smoothly. Adjust shock oil or spring rates if necessary to fine-tune handling.
Setup: These trailing arms are designed as a direct replacement for the stock rear trailing arms on the Tamiya BBX BB-01 model. Installation involves removing the existing plastic arms and replacing them with the new aluminium parts using the original hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping threads or damaging components. Refer to your Tamiya BBX manual for detailed disassembly and reassembly instructions.
Compatibility: This part (TA151B) is specifically designed for the Tamiya BBX BB-01 chassis. It is considered a 'hop-up' part, meaning it's an aftermarket upgrade.
Care: Clean the aluminium trailing arms with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the part is dried thoroughly afterward. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
