Brass counterweight steering knuckle for TRX-4

This JAZRIDER JR-TRX426 replacement is an RC-scale brass counterweight designed for use with Traxxas TRX-4 chassis assemblies where additional mass at the steering knuckle affects steering behavior. The component is presented as a direct-fit style accessory for scale and trail crawler setups, intended to change the steering feel by altering rotational inertia at the wheel hub area.

Compatibility: intended for Traxxas TRX-4 scale and trail crawler platforms as a steering block / knuckle counterweight option. Installation typically uses existing knuckle mounting points and common hardware used on TRX-4 knuckles, so no special tools beyond routine hobby tools are normally required.

Tuning role: adding a brass counterweight shifts mass toward the wheel, which can slow steering return speed and increase low-speed stability and self-centering feel on rough trail sections; it is a tuning component best evaluated alongside suspension and tyre choices to achieve the desired handling balance.

Specifications

  • Item: Traxxas TRX-4 Brass Counterweight Wheel Steering Block Knuckle Axle
  • Material: Brass
  • Model Number: JR-TRX426
  • Compatibility: Traxxas TRX-4 scale and trail crawler models

As a scale accessory, this brass counterweight is a modest tuning part for TRX-4 drivers seeking a tangible change to steering feel and front-end balance; evaluate its effect during incremental setup changes rather than as a standalone fix.

The item is presented for TRX-4 use and mounts at the steering knuckle area using the same mounting points as standard knuckle hardware, but confirm fit with your axle variant before finishing installation.
Increasing mass at the knuckle raises rotational inertia, which tends to slow steering return and can improve low-speed stability; balance this change with suspension setup to avoid unwanted understeer.
Brass is corrosion-resistant compared to some steels, but keep threaded interfaces clean and use appropriate threadlocker where specified; inspect for wear at contact surfaces during routine checks.
Possibly; adding front-end mass can affect turning balance and traction, so consider minor adjustments to shock damping, spring rate, or tyre selection to restore the intended handling.
