This machined aluminium knuckle arm set replaces stock plastic knuckles on TRAXXAS Unlimited Desert Racer chassis, relocating key steering and suspension interfaces to 6061-T6 aluminium while employing POM collars at bearing locations to protect contact surfaces and ensure consistent seating.
Designed with repeatable fit and mechanical stability in mind, the knuckles reinforce the CVD connection and front arm pivots to reduce unwanted movement under load. Multiple tie-rod mounting holes permit fine adjustment of steering geometry without changing parts, prioritising practical tuning over excess complexity.
Installation follows standard hobby procedures: remove OEM knuckles, press bearings into the aluminium knuckles using the engineered tolerances, fit the POM collars to reduce wear, and secure with the supplied fasteners. The kit includes the screws and lock nuts listed in the source so assembly covers upper and lower mounting points and tie-rod fixation.
For experienced hobbyists seeking a durable, precision-fit steering upgrade for TRAXXAS Unlimited Desert Racer models, this machined aluminium knuckle arm set delivers improved bearing retention and stable steering behaviour. by GPM
