Overview
Stiffen up the front of your Traxxas X-Maxx and protect critical steering components with the Hot Racing CNC Aluminum Front Steering Brace. CNC-machined from solid aluminum and finished in a clean blue anodized coating, this direct-replacement brace eliminates the flex and slop common to the stock plastic front steering area — a major weakness on a truck that puts massive cornering loads through its front end.
By tying together the front bulkhead and steering components into a single rigid aluminum platform, this brace dramatically improves steering precision and dramatically reduces the risk of cracked or broken plastic parts under hard impacts. A simple, high-impact upgrade for any serious X-Maxx build.
