Alloy steering plate engineered for T-Maxx service use

This aftermarket steering plate is produced as a direct-fit replacement for TRAXXAS 1/10 T-Maxx applications and is catalogued as TMX1048B. The kit bundles an alloy steering plate with four 5 x 8 bearings to address pivot wear and restore predictable steering articulation.

The alloy design improves mounting stiffness compared with typical injection-moulded plates, while the included 5 x 8 bearings replace common worn bearing points in steering linkages and hub pivots. The TMX1048B package is intended for hobbyists seeking a robust, serviceable steering component without changing servo or linkage geometry.

Installation guidance: this plate is supplied for bolt-on installation with compatible T-Maxx steering mounts. Confirm fastener lengths and hole alignment prior to assembly and reuse factory screws where they provide correct engagement. The bearings are standard 5 x 8 units intended to replace existing steering pivot bearings.

Service and setup: a stiffer alloy mounting point helps preserve steering geometry under dynamic loads, while new bearings reduce play and improve feedback from the servo during precise manoeuvres.

Choose the TMX1048B kit to replace worn steering components and regain tighter steering control on TRAXXAS 1/10 T-Maxx platforms.

What checks should I perform before fitting TMX1048B?

Measure hole centres and bearing seat diameters on your existing steering assembly, confirm the 5 x 8 bearing positions, and verify screw engagement depth to avoid interference during assembly.

Can I reuse original bearings if still serviceable?

If original bearings show no play and spin freely, they can be reused, but the kit provides fresh 5 x 8 bearings to ensure optimal pivot behaviour where wear is evident.

Do I need to alter steering geometry after fitting?

Replacing the plate normally does not require geometry changes, though a quick alignment check is recommended after installation to confirm toe and neutral steering position.

What maintenance extends the life of the bearings?

Regular inspection, light lubrication appropriate to the bearing type, and protection from heavy contamination will prolong bearing life and maintain steering precision.
