This CNC-friendly aluminium pendulum wheel knuckle axle weight with an integrated 23mm hex adapter is a precision upgrade for the TRAXXAS TRX4 Trail Crawler that concentrates mass low and outboard at the wheel hub to improve static and dynamic traction. The design features a centrally located bearing running in a Delrin collar and a tapered pendulum profile that narrows toward the top and flares at the base to preserve a gravity-biased centre of mass while permitting full articulation.
From an engineering standpoint the assembly increases effective wheel load to maintain tyre contact over irregular terrain, mitigates wheel hop under low traction, and supports steeper approach and climb angles without sacrificing grip. The component is intended for installation on the outer drive portal or hub flange to keep unsprung mass oriented low relative to the axle assembly.
The kit includes retrofit hardware optimised for hobby use: 23mm hex adapters, stainless steel screw shafts, spring steel shims, precision metal washers, and stainless hex socket screws. The supplied bearing and component count are specified for RC hobby duties and routine maintenance intervals are recommended for long-term reliability.
A technically focused pendulum kit engineered to lower unsprung mass distribution and improve hub-end traction for serious TRX4 hobbyists, supplied with bearing support and retrofit hardware.
