For RC enthusiasts across the UK seeking to optimise their M-07 setup with quality upgrade parts, this Fastrax aluminium hub carrier represents outstanding value and genuine performance improvement.
Key Features
- Precision-Engineered Aluminium Construction — This hub carrier is manufactured from high-grade aluminium alloy, providing superior strength and rigidity compared to standard plastic components. The material choice ensures better handling response, improved corner grip, and a longer service life, even under aggressive driving conditions.
- Enhanced Suspension Geometry Control — As a critical suspension component, the hub carrier directly influences your RC car's handling characteristics. This upgraded part provides more consistent geometry and better load distribution, resulting in improved cornering performance and more predictable steering response during high-speed manoeuvres.
- Perfect Compatibility with Tamiya M-07 Models — This C hub carrier is specifically engineered to fit seamlessly on both the Tamiya M-07 Concept Chassis Kit (reference 58647) and the Tamiya M-07R Chassis Kit (reference 47520), ensuring perfect fitment without modification.
- Lightweight Yet Durable Design — Aluminium provides the optimal balance between weight savings and structural strength. Unlike heavier steel alternatives, this component reduces unsprung mass whilst maintaining the rigidity necessary for consistent performance.
- Pair Supplied — The designation (pr) indicates this part is supplied as a pair, meaning you receive both left and right hub carriers needed for a complete upgrade to your front or rear suspension.
- Professional-Grade Quality — Fastrax components are designed to strict specifications and manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that each part performs identically to its pair for balanced suspension behaviour across both sides of your RC car.
Technical Performance
The hub carrier is one of the most important suspension components in any RC car, and upgrading from plastic to precision-engineered aluminium delivers tangible performance benefits. The Fastrax Tamiya M07 Aluminium C Hub Carrier is manufactured to tight tolerances that ensure perfect geometry alignment, which is absolutely critical for consistent handling. When your suspension geometry remains stable and precise, your RC car's tyre contact patches remain optimally positioned, allowing maximum grip during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The aluminium construction provides superior rigidity compared to plastic alternatives, meaning less flex and deflection during aggressive driving. This translates directly into more responsive steering inputs, better predictability through complex course sections, and improved overall confidence when pushing your M-07 to its limits. The material also dissipates heat more effectively than plastic, which can be beneficial during extended running sessions. For RC drivers in the UK who take their hobby seriously, whether competing in organised races or simply enjoying weekend bashing with maximum performance, this upgrade represents a worthwhile investment in your M-07's handling and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly is a hub carrier and why would I upgrade mine? — The hub carrier is the component that connects your suspension arms to your wheel axle, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining your RC car's suspension geometry. By upgrading from plastic to aluminium, you gain superior rigidity, better handling consistency, and improved durability. This is especially beneficial if you're an experienced driver who can feel the difference precise suspension geometry makes to performance, or if you're running in competitive environments where every handling advantage matters.
- Will this hub carrier fit my Tamiya M-07? — Yes, this Fastrax aluminium C hub carrier is specifically engineered for both the Tamiya M-07 Concept Chassis Kit (58647) and the Tamiya M-07R Chassis Kit (47520). The C designation refers to the specific suspension geometry type used on these models, so fitment is guaranteed without any modification required.
- Is this a difficult upgrade to install? — The hub carrier is a direct replacement for your existing plastic unit, so installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. You'll need a hex wrench set and basic tools to disassemble your suspension and transfer the components from your old hub carrier to the new aluminium one. If you're new to RC car maintenance, consider having an experienced friend help with the installation to ensure everything is properly aligned and torqued correctly.
- What's the difference between the C hub carrier and other types? — Hub carriers come in different geometries (A, B, C etc.) that correspond to different suspension setups on various Tamiya chassis models. The C type is specifically designed for the M-07 and M-07R, and using the correct type ensures your suspension geometry remains optimal. Using an incorrect hub carrier type could negatively affect your car's handling characteristics.
- Why is the pair designation (pr) important? — This part is supplied as a pair, meaning you get both a left and right unit. This ensures your suspension is balanced across both sides of your car. It's crucial that both sides of your suspension use identical components so that your RC car handles consistently when turning either direction.
- Will upgrading to aluminium hub carriers make a noticeable difference to my RC car's performance? — Many experienced RC drivers report noticeably improved handling response, better corner grip, and more consistent lap times after upgrading to aluminium suspension components. The difference is particularly noticeable if you're a skilled driver who can feel subtle handling improvements, or if you're racing competitively. Even casual drivers often appreciate the improved durability and longevity of upgraded components.
