Precision front steering assembly for XRT 8S

This 7075-T6 machined aluminum front steering assembly is supplied as an aftermarket replacement for the TRAXXAS XRT 8S 1/6 scale platform, offering a stiffer mounting point for steering linkages to aid tuning and setup work.

The component installs at the front knuckle/arm interface and is designed to interface with the stock steering linkage and servo. The machined 7075-T6 material reduces local compliance, providing a firmer anchor for linkages which can improve feedback and repeatability during setup sessions.

Installation procedure: remove the front bumper and steering linkages to access the assembly, retain compatible original hardware where appropriate, verify servo horn orientation and linkage lengths after fitting, apply thread-lock to metal-to-metal fasteners, and bench-test full steering travel to confirm no binding prior to on-track use.

Good service and great looking parts,every thing is nice and good working condition

What chassis is this designed to fit?

Compatibility is listed for TRAXXAS-1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4; confirm chassis code and mounting points before ordering for integration into a build.

How does 7075-T6 affect durability and stiffness?

7075-T6 offers higher stiffness and fatigue resistance compared with common plastics; this reduces deflection at the steering mount and provides a repeatable pivot for tuning tasks.

Any recommended hardware practices?

Use appropriate grade metal fasteners, apply medium thread-lock on metal-to-metal joints, and torque to avoid over-stressing alloy threads during installation.

Should setup be rechecked after installation?

Yes, re-evaluate servo end points, linkage geometry and steering travel; the stiffer mounting can change handling balance and may require small adjustments.
