About this part
The Samix Traxxas TRX-4 Brass Portal Cover & Scale Brake Rotor Set is a precision machined portal cover that adds 55 grams of unsprung weight to the front or rear of your TRX-4, for improved forward weight bias and performance. Unlike other brass parts, these feature a stealthy black finish, with chamfered edges that give the parts an unmatched look that offers a touch of bling to your scaler.

- Brass portal knuckle cover adds 55g a pair

- Machined from high quality brass material
- Black finish to help avoid oxidation
- Includes SAMIX 36mm scale brake rotor & caliper for improved scale looks
- More rigid and increased durability
- Direct fit on TRX-4 front & rear std knuckle and SAMIX alum. or brass option knuckle
NOTE: The brake rotor is suitable for the standard TRX-4 wheel, and will clear any wheel with greater than 36mm inner diameter but may require wider hubs.

Fit perfectly front and rear and mated up without issue to the stock Traxxas plastic portal housing. Looks great and keeps from adding TOO MUCH weight to keep the rear end of your crawler light! Really like them overall!
I added these along with every other brass part that Samix makes for both the front and rear axles of my TRX4, and along with a set of Yeah Racing alloy axles and brass diff covers, there is no plastic remaining on my rigs axles. The improvement in performance and appearance is huge. Adding as much weight down low makes the biggest difference for crawlers. I also add several ounces of stick on lead weights to the inside of each wheel before i mount the tires which also helps a ton... Great product! I have a ton of Samix parts and the quality is top notch!
Another must have, especially with a lot of brass up front on your truck. Will keep the rear end planted on decents. After a year of good solid use they continue to perform like new.
Three reviewers rated these brass portal covers 5/5. Reviewers report they fit the stock Traxxas plastic portal housing front and rear without issues. They value the added weight low on the axle, which one says helps crawling stability and keeping the rear planted on descents. One reviewer reports a year of use with no visible performance decline. One reviewer used them alongside other Samix brass parts and Yeah Racing components, reporting a large performance and appearance gain, though that gain cannot be attributed to these covers alone. No recurring problems or complaints appear in the reviews.
