The GT048 steering assembly is a 14-piece aftermarket upgrade developed for TRAXXAS GT4 TEC 2.0 chassis, engineered to reduce steering lash and improve mechanical engagement at critical linkage points. The design combines machined Aluminum 6061 T6 elements with Delrin collars to maintain consistent tolerances while reducing sliding friction across pivots.
Engineered components address end float and lateral play via shims and collars, while aluminum parts replace compliant plastic items to provide a stiffer steering input. This produces more direct feedback at the wheel and supports precise steering feel without electronic changes.
Installation is intended for technicians and experienced hobbyists familiar with TRAXXAS steering link procedures. Use standard hex tools, index collars accurately, and apply measured torque to fasteners to avoid compressing Delrin elements. Verify steering freeplay after assembly and make micro-adjustments to prevent binding.
For precision-focused builders seeking a hardware-level improvement to steering accuracy, the GT048 package supplies a compact upgrade that enhances mechanical control without altering servo or ESC programming.
