Overview
Replace the failure-prone stock plastic steering knuckles on your Axial AX10, Wraith, or XR10 with the Hot Racing 6061 Aluminum Front Steering Knuckles. CNC-milled from 6061 aluminum and finished in black anodizing with CNC-engraved lettering and machined chamfered edges, these knuckles are a major upgrade in both durability and aesthetics over the factory plastic AX80061 components.
Plastic stock steering knuckles are notorious for cracking under impact loads, particularly on hard rock-crawling lines and aggressive trail driving. These aluminum knuckles eliminate that failure point completely, giving you confidence to push your scale crawler harder than ever before.
