Are the DF02 steering knuckles the same as TA02? Just wanna know if I can get a replacement.

Also, has tamiya got any 'hard' version suspension arm or steering knuckles/c-hub hop up for DF02?

Thank you.

AsiaTees sells tons of hop-ups for the DF-02. I use GPM rear arms for my Kyosho Optima builds.

Just search AsiaTees for DF02 and you'll find tons of goodies...and they're a helluva lot cheaper than the Tamiya stuff, I'm sure.

Some, but nothing really useful, at least from what I found doing a simple Google search of Tamiya DF-02 hop-ups:

All I saw were some alloy uprights, upgraded turnbuckles, alloy shocks & steering bellcrank. And after you see their prices, chances are you won't buy 'em. :roll:
