These things are awesome! All pieces are a perfect fit to the stock axles and they look great. I myself don't want my TRX-4 Blazer covered in a bunch of brass color and instead I got these for the additional weight as well as the look. The only thing I noticed with these is you also need to buy the Samix TRX-4 Brass 12mm Hex Adapter (4) (+8mm Offset) in order to make the brake rotors fit without hitting the wheel wells. No problem though, I got them and these things look amazing as well as make a huge difference in crawling around.
A must have for your TRX-4. Will greatly lower your center of gravity and help crawl and climb massively, while still maintaining a scale look, And after a year of good solid use they continue to operate flawlessly.
Aloha kakou! Looking for brass components for your TRX4? Look no further, Samix makes a variety of brass components to keep your TRX4 planted to the ground. I am currently going all brass in the chassis so these brass steering knuckle, C-Hub, Portal Cover & Scale Brake Rotor set came in clutch in keeping my front end weighted. The Scale Brake Rotor was such a cool touch to the scale look! Pricing is a little bit much but if you compare what you get from Samix over Amazon, I prefer quality over quantity. Now if your in between brands such as Yeah Racing's set over these Samix set, then your like me where I couldn't decide but because I like the black coating with sanded lining to show a little brass around the edges then the Samix is the way to go. Yeah Racing's set is also just a bit more. So more bang for your buck with these Samix. Still waiting for the brass steering bushing though... Mahalo nui loa Samix for making great products!
Fast... Exactly what i wanted. Will order from amain again
Very nice quality. Good looking as on the pictures, but a little pricy.
Reviewers of the Samix brass steering knuckles, C-hubs and portal covers for the TRX-4 (239g set with scale brake rotor) generally report good machining, a clean fit and a finish they find attractive. Many say the added front unsprung weight improves planting and stability on inclines and rocky terrain. Several note the set requires the Samix 12mm hex adapter with 8mm offset so the brake rotors clear the wheel wells. Price is described as high by some. One reviewer reported a left knuckle that was not drilled properly, which made installation harder, though it was eventually fitted. One reviewer noted the added weight could be a disadvantage on wet or slippery surfaces. Most reviews are from verified owners, several on Bronco variants, and the sample is small.
