Technical Performance
The Fastrax Tamiya M07 Aluminium Rear Hub Carrier represents a significant engineering upgrade over standard plastic components found on stock M-07 chassis kits. Aluminium construction delivers superior rigidity and strength, which translates directly into more responsive steering input and predictable handling characteristics during aggressive driving or competitive racing. The material composition resists flexing and deformation under load, maintaining precise suspension geometry even when cornering at speed or landing jumps. This is particularly important on 1/10 scale RC cars like the M-07, where suspension geometry directly influences steering response, traction and overall stability. The hub carrier is one of the critical suspension mounting points, so upgrading to aluminium ensures that your suspension tuning adjustments remain consistent and effective throughout your driving sessions. The pair package allows for symmetrical rear suspension setup, which is essential for balanced handling and predictable vehicle behaviour on both left and right hand turns. Quality manufacturing tolerances ensure smooth operation of bearings and axle components, reducing friction and maximising power delivery to the wheels. This upgrade is particularly valued by drivers who participate in competitive touring car racing, where even small improvements in suspension rigidity can result in measurable lap time improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax Aluminium Rear Hub Carrier compatible with my Tamiya M-07? — Yes, this component is specifically engineered for Tamiya M-07R Chassis Kit (model 47520) and Tamiya M-07 Concept Chassis Kit (model 58647). It will fit directly without requiring any modifications or adapter plates, maintaining proper suspension geometry and component alignment.
- What is the advantage of aluminium hub carriers over the plastic stock components? — Aluminium provides significantly greater rigidity and strength compared to plastic, which means less flex during cornering and under load. This translates to more consistent suspension performance, better steering response, improved traction control, and longer component lifespan when pushing your RC car hard or racing competitively.
- Why do I need a pair of these components? — The pair package supplies two hub carriers so that both rear wheels can be upgraded simultaneously. This ensures balanced suspension geometry and consistent handling behaviour across the entire rear axle, which is essential for predictable vehicle performance and competitive racing.
- Is this upgrade suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a genuine performance upgrade, it is classified as a suspension tune-up option rather than a beginner-focused component. However, any RC driver looking to improve their M-07's durability and handling can benefit from this upgrade. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and appropriate tools, but is straightforward for anyone with RC car experience.
- How does this component fit into a broader M-07 tuning strategy? — The hub carrier is one of several aftermarket upgrade options available for the M-07 platform. It works best as part of a comprehensive suspension upgrade programme that might include improved shocks, anti-roll bars, and other components. This particular upgrade focuses on structural rigidity and durability, making it an excellent foundation for further tuning adjustments.
- What tools and skills do I need to install this component? — Installation requires basic mechanical skills, standard hex wrenches for the fasteners on your M-07, and familiarity with RC car suspension assembly. If you're comfortable disassembling and reassembling your M-07 suspension, you'll find this upgrade straightforward to install.
