Precision steering carrier for XRT 8S

This 7075-T6 aluminium front steering assembly is supplied as an aftermarket replacement for the TRAXXAS XRT 8S 1/6 scale platform to support tuning and setup changes.

The assembly mounts at the front knuckle and is intended to work with the stock steering linkage and standard servo. Replacing a flexible mount with a machined 7075-T6 component reduces flex and provides a firmer mounting surface for linkages, which alters steering feedback during adjustments.

Fitment advice: remove the front bumper and steering links to access the assembly, reuse compatible OEM hardware where possible, confirm servo horn position and linkage geometry after installation, apply thread-lock to metal fasteners and test steering travel before running outdoors.

  • TRAXXAS-1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4

For setup-focused hobbyists wanting a firmer front end on the TRAXXAS XRT 8S, this 7075-T6 steering carrier is a practical aftermarket upgrade to refine steering response and longevity on the trail.

Good service and great looking parts,every thing is nice and good working condition

Does this replace the original plastic part?

Yes, it is designed as an aftermarket replacement for the front steering mount, but confirm screw fit and orientation before final assembly.

What benefits will I notice on track?

Expect reduced flex at the steering pivot, crisper steering feel, and more predictable setup changes when tuning link lengths or toe settings.

Is thread-lock recommended?

Yes, apply medium-strength thread-lock to metal-to-metal fasteners to prevent loosening under vibration.

Will gear mesh or steering geometry change?

The part does not change gear mesh, but the stiffer mount can alter steering geometry effects; recheck link lengths and toe after installation.
