The Axial SCX6: AR90 Steering Knuckles L/R are essential replacement parts for owners of the SCX6 range of 1/6 scale RC rock crawlers. These steering knuckles form a critical part of the front suspension and steering geometry on your RC car, directly affecting how your vehicle handles, steers and responds to driver input across varied terrain.

Available as a genuine Axial replacement part, these knuckles are engineered to OEM specifications to ensure your RC crawler maintains its stock handling characteristics and reliability.
If you're a UK RC enthusiast looking to maintain your SCX6 in peak condition, these steering knuckles are an essential addition to your spares box. Whether you've damaged yours through aggressive rock crawling, or you simply want to keep spare parts on hand for your ready to run RC vehicle, sourcing genuine Axial components is the smart choice. The SCX6 series has built an impressive reputation amongst RC car UK collectors and serious off-road bashers alike, and these knuckles play a fundamental role in keeping your rig performing at its best across technical terrain and challenging crawling sections.
Key Features
- Left and Right Hand Pair — This product includes both the left and right steering knuckles needed for the front axle assembly, saving you money compared to purchasing them separately and ensuring matched geometry across both sides of your vehicle.
- OEM Axial Specification — Manufactured to genuine Axial standards and specifications, these knuckles maintain the precise tolerances and design that your SCX6 was engineered with, ensuring your RC crawler performs exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
- Direct Replacement Component — These are listed as replacement parts for the SCX6 platform, meaning they drop straight into your existing model without modification or additional fitting work required.
- Compatible with Multiple SCX6 Models — Whether you own the Jeep JLU Wrangler 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR or the Trail Honcho 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR, these steering knuckles are confirmed compatible across the SCX6 range, providing genuine peace of mind when ordering.
- Essential Crawler Durability — The steering knuckles are a high-wear component on rock crawlers that encounter impacts, sharp terrain transitions and heavy articulation, making having spares genuinely useful for maintaining your RC car UK without extended downtime.
Technical Performance
Steering knuckles form the bridge between your RC crawler's steering linkages, suspension arms and wheels, playing a crucial role in translating steering inputs into actual wheel movement whilst supporting the vehicle's weight through complex suspension articulation. On the SCX6 platform, these knuckles must withstand the rigorous demands of scale rock crawling where extreme steering angles, full articulation and impacts from terrain are commonplace. The knuckles work in conjunction with the SCX6's detailed suspension geometry to maintain precise caster, camber and toe-in settings, which directly impact how predictably your vehicle steers and how smoothly it navigates obstacles. As a wear item on any ready to run RC vehicle that sees regular use, especially in competitive rock crawling or technical terrain applications, having replacement knuckles available means you can keep your SCX6 operational without waiting for replacement orders or suffering extended repair periods. The genuine Axial engineering ensures these components maintain the exact specifications needed for the SCX6's sophisticated suspension tuning and steering response characteristics that make this 1/6 scale platform so capable on challenging crawling sections.

They are genuine Axial components manufactured to OEM specification for your SCX6 platform.
- Why would I need replacement steering knuckles? — Steering knuckles are a high-wear component on any rock crawler, particularly on the SCX6 which articulates heavily through technical terrain. Impact damage from obstacles, cumulative wear from steering inputs, or simply wanting to maintain spare parts for your ready to run RC vehicle are all common reasons to purchase replacements. Having spares means minimal downtime if damage occurs during active crawling sessions.

Generally, this type of work requires basic RC tools and mechanical knowledge.
- Will these improve my SCX6's performance? — As direct OEM replacement components, these knuckles will maintain your vehicle's performance at the level it was designed for, ensuring precise steering geometry and response. If your original knuckles are damaged or worn, replacing them with genuine Axial parts will restore your SCX6 to optimal handling and steering performance.
- Are these suitable for competitive rock crawling? — Yes. The SCX6 is recognised as a serious rock crawling platform, and these genuine Axial steering knuckles maintain the exact specifications needed for precise steering geometry in competitive applications. If you're running your SCX6 in competitions or demanding technical terrain, maintaining OEM-spec components like these knuckles is recommended for consistent performance.
