Aluminum side steps for TRX-4
These are scale aluminum side steps manufactured for TRAXXAS TRX-4 platforms, supplied as a 10pcs set that includes two side step plates and eight stainless steel round head screws. The parts are CNC cut, anodized, and engraved with a reticulated (pattern B) surface to produce a durable finish and visible texture on scale rigs.
The mounting design features an adjustable screw area that allows the side step to be positioned slightly inward or outward on each side, giving a small range of fitment tuning during installation. Adjustment is done by shifting the screw location within the slot before final tightening, so the steps can clear body mounts or match different body shell offsets without modifying the plates.
Intended role in vehicle tuning is visual and protective: these steps add a low-profile scale detail while providing a small ledge that can protect lower body edges from brush contact during trail crawling. They do not alter suspension, steering, or drive characteristics and are supplied for model-scale appearance and light-duty contact protection only.
Installation notes: use the supplied 3x10 stainless steel round head screws, test fit with the body shell installed, and tighten progressively to keep the step aligned. If screws encounter paint or anodize buildup, clean the threads and apply moderate torque; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the chassis mounting points.
