Front steering upgrade for XRT 8S

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

The assembly fits at the front knuckle and interfaces with the stock steering linkage and servo. Upgrading to a machined 7075-T6 unit typically reduces flex at the mount and provides a firmer connection for steering links, which changes steering response during setup.

Installation guidance: remove the front bumper and steering linkages to gain access, retain compatible original hardware if appropriate, check servo horn alignment and linkage lengths after fitting, apply thread-lock to metal fasteners and verify smooth steering travel before operation.

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

Which model code is listed as compatible?

The compatible model shown is TRAXXAS-1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4; always cross-check your truck's code before ordering.

Does this improve steering precision?

A stiffer, machined 7075-T6 mount reduces flex and can make steering inputs feel more direct, but you should revisit linkage geometry after fitting.

Are there fitment checks to perform?

Check screw thread sizes, servo horn alignment and that linkages move freely through full travel; replace any worn hardware as needed.

Should I expect any damage risk from metal parts?

Metal parts can transfer impact loads differently than plastic; inspect surrounding components for wear after switching to a metal mount and use correct fastener torque.
