Scale brass steering knuckles for TRX4M

This RC-scale steering blocks set is finished in black and uses brass as the working material for Traxxas 1/18 TRX4M platforms. The JR-TRX4M01-BK parts replace the standard front steering blocks on TRX4M Bronco and TRX-4M Defender 1/18 models and are intended for hobbyist scale trail crawler applications.

Using brass changes the front axle characteristics by adding mass and creating a metal-to-metal contact surface where the stock plastic components normally operate. In real use this improves pivot wear resistance and modifies steering feedback, which can assist enthusiasts when refining front-end balance and steering effort for scale trails.

For experienced builders installation is simple: the blocks are engineered as direct-fit replacements for the listed 1/18 TRX4M Bronco and TRX-4M Defender steering knuckles and normally reuse factory screws and hardware. After installation, check the steering geometry, wheel alignment and that pivot joints operate without binding.

Tuning advice: brass increases rotating and unsprung mass at the front, so expect slightly heavier steering feel and a different recovery behaviour on uneven ground. Incorporate tyre selection, suspension preload and servo endpoint adjustments to harmonize handling with the new front-end mass.

Brass provides a tougher contact surface than plastic, which reduces wear at pivot interfaces and improves long-term durability under trail use.
Routine inspection and keeping pivot points free of grit are recommended; brass does not require special treatment beyond normal cleaning and hardware checks.
Yes. The metal contact surfaces typically extend service life at pivot points versus stock plastic components, especially under heavy trail use.
