Gmade R1 Front Steering Knuckle Aluminium GM021 for R1 Rock Buggy by GPM  [GM021]

Front steering knuckle for the Gmade R1

This machined aluminium front knuckle arm is an RC-scale replacement for the Gmade R1 1/10 Rock Buggy platform, aimed at restoring or improving steering link stiffness and front-end behaviour. The component replaces the standard steering knuckle and prioritises mechanical durability and consistent steering feel over cosmetic changes.

Compatibility is intended for the 1/10 R1 Rock Buggy family named in the title; installers should confirm wheel hex clearance, kingpin spacing and overall suspension geometry before final assembly. Typical fitting uses the vehicle's existing fasteners and steering hardware, and it is important to check alignment after install to confirm toe and camber.

For tuning, aluminium knuckle arms reduce flex compared with softer materials, helping maintain steady steering input on rough ground and while experimenting with shock and spring rates. Incorporate these arms into a full front-end setup, balancing added stiffness against shock tuning to avoid passing excessive load to adjacent parts.

A direct aluminium replacement for hobbyists seeking a firmer steering feel on Gmade R1 1/10 rock buggies; verify fit and steering geometry after fitting to preserve handling balance.
