This RC-scale front and rear knuckle arm set is manufactured for the TRAXXAS E-MAXX chassis, model EMX2021. Machined aluminium construction is used to provide improved wear resistance and stiffness versus injection-moulded parts, supporting more consistent steering geometry under load for 1/8 scale electric monster truck applications.
The knuckles serve to locate the steering hub and transfer suspension loads into the upright and overall suspension geometry, while also affecting steering response when used with different turnbuckle lengths or shock valving. Upgrading to aluminium reduces elastic deformation and improves repeatability of toe and camber during aggressive driving or tuning sessions.
Installation follows standard hub removal and knuckle replacement procedures. Verify ball stud engagement, steering stop clearance and full suspension articulation after fitment. Use controlled torque values and apply thread locker where metal fasteners mate to avoid loosening under vibration.
EMX2021 knuckles are aimed at hobbyists seeking a precision, stiffening upgrade that supports detailed setup work and higher load cycles without the compliance of stock plastic components.
