Key Features
- Accurately machined for precise fit — Each steering knuckle is precision-machined to exact tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit within your Losi Mini LMT chassis and guaranteeing smooth operation without any binding or excessive play that could compromise steering response.
- Green anodised aluminium construction — The anodised aluminium finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability, protecting the components against the elements whilst maintaining the distinctive green colour scheme that matches the factory styling of Mini LMT models.
- Pivot freely on steel pins — The knuckles are designed to articulate smoothly on hardened steel pivot pins, delivering the precise steering geometry needed for responsive handling across all driving conditions and surfaces.
- Supplied as a pair — You receive both left and right steering knuckles in a single purchase, providing a complete steering upgrade for your monster truck without needing to make separate orders.
- Includes all fixing hardware — The package contains all necessary fasteners and components needed for installation, streamlining the upgrade process and ensuring you have everything required for a complete installation.
- Thread lock required for track rod bolt fixing — The design uses a 2mm track rod bolt fixing that requires thread lock (not included) to ensure the connection remains secure during aggressive driving, a professional touch that prevents component loosening.
Technical Performance
These RCO steering knuckles represent a significant upgrade in chassis engineering for your Losi 1/18 Mini LMT 4x4 brushed monster truck. The components are manufactured from premium grade aluminium and finished with professional anodising, delivering a perfect balance between weight savings and structural rigidity that is essential for reliable steering performance. The precision machining ensures that the knuckles integrate perfectly with the Mini LMT's front end geometry, maintaining the factory suspension angles and steering geometry whilst providing upgraded durability compared to standard plastic components. The steel pin pivot system eliminates the flex and play that can develop in lower-quality steering components, resulting in more direct steering input response and improved cornering performance. The green anodised finish not only provides excellent corrosion protection against moisture and salt spray, but also creates a cohesive look with many Mini LMT variants that feature green colour schemes. For RC car owners in the UK who regularly drive in wet conditions, muddy terrain, or coastal environments, the corrosion-resistant properties of anodised aluminium steering components represent a worthwhile investment in long-term reliability and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these steering knuckles compatible with my Losi Mini LMT? — Yes, these RCO steering knuckles are officially compatible with all Losi 1/18 Mini LMT 4x4 variants including the Son-Uva Digger (C-LOS01026T2), Zombie 2S (C-LOS01026T4), Grave Digger (C-LOS01026T1), and Megalodon 2S (C-LOS01026T3) models. They are specifically engineered as a direct replacement or upgrade for the factory steering knuckles on these platforms.
- Will these knuckles improve my RC truck's handling? — These upgraded steering knuckles will provide noticeably smoother and more responsive steering thanks to their precision machining and steel pin pivot design, which eliminates play and flex in the steering linkage. Drivers often report improved cornering performance and more direct steering input response after upgrading to quality aftermarket steering components.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. While these are an aftermarket upgrade, installation is straightforward and suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The knuckles come with all necessary fixing hardware, and the installation process is no more complex than standard maintenance tasks on your Mini LMT.
- What makes anodised aluminium better than plastic? — Anodised aluminium offers several advantages over plastic steering knuckles including superior durability under aggressive driving, excellent corrosion resistance in wet conditions, better dimensional stability, and longer service life. The precision machining process also ensures tighter tolerances than injection-moulded plastic components.
- Do I need any special tools to install these? — No special tools are required. Standard RC hobby tools such as hex keys and screwdrivers are sufficient for installation. You will need thread lock compound to secure the 2mm track rod bolt, which is a common product available at most RC retailers and hobby shops across the UK.
- What is thread lock and why is it necessary? — Thread lock is an adhesive compound applied to bolt threads that prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration during driving. For the 2mm track rod bolt fixing on these steering knuckles, a light-strength thread lock such as Loctite 243 is recommended to ensure the connection remains secure during aggressive driving without making future disassembly difficult.
