Technical Performance
These Fastrax Tamiya TT-01 Aluminium Rear Hub Carriers represent a substantial upgrade from standard plastic components in terms of both performance and longevity. The use of precision-engineered aluminium provides exceptional rigidity, which is critical for maintaining consistent suspension geometry throughout cornering, acceleration, and braking phases of racing. The rear hub carrier is a fundamental structural element of the suspension system, directly influencing how the chassis responds to track inputs and how effectively the rear suspension maintains contact with the surface. By upgrading to aluminium construction, you eliminate the flex and deflection that occurs with plastic components, resulting in more predictable handling characteristics, improved stability in high-speed corners, and more responsive steering inputs. The engineering precision ensures perfect integration with the TT-01 platform, maintaining factory-specification suspension geometry while delivering measurably improved durability. These components are particularly valuable for competitive drivers who participate in regular race meetings, training sessions, and club events throughout the UK, where the cumulative stress on suspension components is substantial. The superior material choice means fewer replacements over time, reduced downtime for repairs, and more consistent performance week after week. For anyone investing in a TT-01 touring car setup, these rear hub carriers should be considered essential upgrade components rather than optional luxury parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these aluminium rear hub carriers compatible with my Tamiya TT-01? — Yes, these Fastrax hub carriers are specifically engineered for the Tamiya TT-01 touring car chassis and will fit perfectly without any modification. They are designed as direct replacement components for the standard plastic hub carriers, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience.
- What is the advantage of aluminium hub carriers over the standard plastic ones? — Aluminium construction offers multiple benefits over plastic alternatives: superior strength that resists bending and cracking under racing stress, improved rigidity that enhances suspension response and cornering performance, significantly increased longevity with far fewer replacements needed over time, and more consistent performance characteristics that help deliver reliable lap times during competitive racing. For serious racers, these advantages justify the investment many times over.
- Will upgrading to these hub carriers improve my lap times? — While no single component upgrade will dramatically transform lap times, aluminium hub carriers contribute to improved overall performance by maintaining consistent suspension geometry, reducing unpredictable handling caused by flex in plastic components, and providing more responsive steering inputs. When combined with other quality upgrades and proper driving technique, these components help create a platform capable of consistent, competitive performance.
- How difficult are these to install on my TT-01? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. The aluminium hub carriers are direct replacements for the standard plastic components, simply requiring removal of the original carriers and installation of the new ones. No modification to other chassis components is required, and no special tools beyond standard RC hex wrenches and screwdrivers are needed.
- Are these genuine Fastrax components? — Yes, RC Model Shop is an authorised retailer for Fastrax products, and all parts sold are genuine manufacturer components. Each product is supplied with the assurance of authentic manufacturing and full quality standards, giving you confidence in the durability and performance of your upgrade components.
- Can I use just one hub carrier or do I need to replace both? — These are supplied as a pair specifically because it is essential to replace both rear hub carriers together. Using matched components on both sides ensures balanced suspension performance, consistent handling characteristics, and predictable vehicle behaviour on track. Using just one upgraded component while retaining the original plastic alternative would create imbalance and unpredictable handling.
