- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — As an authentic manufacturer part, this steering rod meets Traxxas engineering specifications and quality standards, giving you confidence that you're restoring your RC car to factory performance levels.
- Direct Replacement Part — The TRX3825 is a straightforward replacement component that bolts directly into your Traxxas vehicle without requiring modifications or additional parts, making installation quick and straightforward for experienced RC enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas steering rod TRX3825 represents precision engineering in miniature form.
