Overview

The Axial AR60 Double Shear Steering Knuckle Set Z-AX31316 is an essential replacement and upgrade component for RC enthusiasts running Axial AR60-based models. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK hobbyist maintaining your existing fleet or looking to enhance your crawler's steering geometry, this precision-engineered knuckle set delivers the durability and performance you need for consistent, reliable handling on the trail. The double shear design represents a significant upgrade in steering responsiveness and durability, making it an excellent choice for both weekend bashers and serious competitors alike.

Designed specifically for the AR60 platform, these steering knuckles feature a new design that prioritises improved wheel clearance, particularly when running larger 2.2 inch tyres that are increasingly popular amongst RC crawlers and trail trucks. This additional clearance reduces the risk of binding and rubbing, allowing your steering to remain smooth and responsive even in challenging terrain. The moulded plastic construction ensures the knuckles remain lightweight whilst maintaining exceptional durability under the stresses of off-road driving.

As a dedicated spare part, this knuckle set allows you to maintain peak performance on your Axial AR60-based RC model, whether you're replacing worn components or experimenting with different steering geometries to fine-tune your setup. Stock this essential item in your spares box and keep your RC car running at its best.

Key Features

• Double Shear Steering Design — The double shear geometry provides significantly improved steering precision and durability compared to single shear designs, allowing your RC car to respond more accurately to your transmitter inputs and maintain consistent handling characteristics throughout aggressive driving sessions.
• Enhanced 2.2 Inch Tyre Clearance — The new design offers substantially more clearance for 2.2 inch tyres, which are increasingly common on modern RC crawlers and trail trucks, preventing tyre rub and steering binding that can compromise performance and damage components.
• Durable Moulded Plastic Construction — The knuckles are manufactured from high-quality moulded plastic that balances weight reduction with exceptional strength, providing reliable performance under the constant stresses of off-road RC driving without adding unnecessary weight to the front end.
• Axial AR60 Compatibility — Specifically engineered for the Axial AR60 platform, these knuckles integrate seamlessly with your existing AR60 chassis and suspension components, ensuring perfect fitment and performance without modification.
• Replacement and Upgrade Option — Suitable as a direct replacement for worn or damaged knuckles, or as an upgrade component to improve steering performance on existing builds, giving you flexibility in how you use this part.

Technical Performance

The Axial AR60 Double Shear Steering Knuckle Set represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of scale RC driving. The double shear design fundamentally improves the structural integrity of the steering system by distributing loads across two shear planes rather than one, resulting in reduced flex, improved steering responsiveness, and enhanced durability under sustained use. The moulded plastic construction is engineered to provide the optimal balance between weight and strength, ensuring that your AR60 maintains its nimble handling characteristics whilst gaining the robustness needed for serious trail work. The enhanced clearance for 2.2 inch tyres addresses a common fitment challenge on modern RC crawlers, where larger tyres have become the standard for improved ground clearance and traction. This thoughtful design feature eliminates the need for additional modifications or compromises in tyre choice, allowing you to run the setup you prefer without complications. Whether you're maintaining an existing AR60-based model or upgrading your current setup, these knuckles deliver the performance and reliability that RC enthusiasts across the UK demand from their equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these steering knuckles fit my Axial AR60 RC crawler? — Yes, the Axial AR60 Double Shear Steering Knuckle Set Z-AX31316 is specifically engineered for Axial AR60 platform vehicles and will integrate seamlessly with your existing chassis and suspension components without modification.
• What is the benefit of double shear steering knuckles over standard designs? — Double shear designs distribute steering loads across two shear planes rather than one, resulting in significantly improved steering precision, reduced flex, and enhanced durability during aggressive driving and challenging terrain negotiation. This translates to more responsive handling and longer component lifespan.
• Can I run larger 2.2 inch tyres with these knuckles? — Absolutely. The new knuckle design features enhanced clearance specifically engineered for 2.2 inch tyres, eliminating tyre rub and binding that can occur with other designs. This allows you to run modern, larger diameter tyres without complications.
• Do these knuckles come with hardware included? — The knuckle set does not include fasteners. Hardware must be sourced separately to complete the installation. Ensure you have the appropriate fasteners before beginning your build or replacement work.
• Are these knuckles suitable for beginners? — While installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC assembly experience, this is a replacement component rather than a complete system. Beginners should ensure they have the necessary tools, fasteners, and assembly knowledge before attempting installation.
• What material are these knuckles made from? — The steering knuckles are manufactured from durable moulded plastic that provides an excellent balance between weight reduction and structural strength, ensuring your AR60 remains nimble whilst gaining the robustness needed for serious RC driving.
