Steering Knuckle Reinforcement for JATO 4X4 VXL

This is an RC-scale front steering block set engineered for TRAXXAS JATO 4X4 VXL platforms and related models. Machined from 7075 aluminium, the components swap in for the original plastic blocks to give a firmer knuckle mounting and a larger outer bearing seat that helps minimise free play under load.

Included are bearings sized 12x18x4 (inner) and 6x13x4 (outer), delivered as pairs to match the updated bores and to ensure consistent rotation at the steering spindle. The upgrade emphasises mechanical rigidity and steering precision rather than electronic or motor modifications, making it suitable for hobbyists focused on chassis reliability and control.

These 7075 alloy steering blocks are intended to limit knuckle flex and maintain front-end geometry, particularly useful when moving to heavier wheels, tyres, or more demanding off-road setups.

What bearing sizes come with the kit and are they supplied as pairs?

The kit includes inner bearings 12x18x4 and outer bearings 6x13x4. Each size is supplied as a matched pair to fit both sides of the vehicle.

Will the 7075 aluminium help reduce knuckle fatigue or cracking?

Yes. 7075 aluminium offers greater stiffness and resistance to deformation compared with stock plastic knuckles, which lowers the chance of flex-related misalignment under high loads.

Do I need a bearing press or special tool to fit the bearings?

Bearings should be seated carefully; a bearing press or a controlled drift and vice method is recommended to avoid damage. Use common-sense care when installing to maintain bearing seals and race integrity.

Are these blocks suitable if I upgrade to heavier tyres or larger wheels?

They are well suited to heavier wheels or more powerful drivetrains because the aluminium construction and larger bearing interface help keep the steering geometry stable under added stress.
