Overview
The Fastrax Arrma Front Aluminium Steering Knuckles are precision-engineered suspension components designed specifically for the Arrma Senton and Typhon 1/10 scale RC cars. These aftermarket steering knuckles represent a significant upgrade from standard components, offering enhanced durability and improved steering response for serious RC enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying your RC car at the local park or a competitive racer looking to fine-tune your setup, these front steering knuckles deliver the performance upgrades that make a real difference in handling and longevity.
Fastrax has built a reputation for producing high-quality replacement parts and upgrades for popular RC vehicles, and these steering knuckles are no exception. Machined from lightweight yet rigid aluminium, they replace the standard plastic components and offer substantially improved durability under demanding driving conditions. If you're running your Arrma Senton or Typhon regularly and want to reduce wear on critical suspension components whilst improving steering precision, upgrading to these aluminium knuckles is a smart investment in your RC car's performance and lifespan.
RC car enthusiasts know that suspension geometry and component quality directly impact how your vehicle handles, steers and responds to inputs. These front steering knuckles are one of those key upgrades that RC modellers and bashers look for when building or upgrading their RC vehicles. Available as a pair, they offer great value and are essential spares for anyone serious about maintaining their Arrma at peak performance.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-quality aluminium rather than plastic, these steering knuckles provide superior strength and durability whilst remaining lightweight, which means less unsprung mass affecting your suspension geometry and overall handling characteristics.
- Precision Engineering — Fastrax components are designed to exact specifications matching your Arrma's original geometry, ensuring proper steering angles, toe-in and camber settings for optimal handling and tyre wear.
- Enhanced Durability — Aluminium construction dramatically extends the service life of these critical suspension components compared to plastic alternatives, reducing the need for frequent replacements and saving you money in the long run.
- Improved Steering Response — The rigid construction of aluminium knuckles provides more direct and responsive steering feedback compared to flex in plastic components, giving you better control and feel of your RC vehicle.
- Easy Installation — These steering knuckles are designed as direct replacements for your Arrma Senton or Typhon, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance skills and standard hex wrenches.
- Pair Included — You receive both left and right front steering knuckles in this package, so you have everything needed to upgrade the complete front end of your vehicle.
- Compatible with Arrma Senton and Typhon — Specifically engineered for these popular 1/10 scale Arrma models, ensuring perfect fit and performance without modification or adaptation.
- OEM Quality Replacement — These Fastrax components meet professional standards and are used by RC competitors and enthusiasts worldwide who demand reliability and performance from their spare parts.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Arrma Front Aluminium Steering Knuckles represent a significant materials upgrade over the plastic components supplied as standard on your Arrma Senton or Typhon. Aluminium offers a much higher strength-to-weight ratio than plastic, meaning these knuckles will withstand the lateral forces, cornering loads and occasional impacts that come with aggressive RC driving without deforming or breaking. The precision machining ensures that steering geometry is maintained consistently across multiple replacement cycles, which is critical because any deviation in steering angle affects your vehicle's handling, straight-line stability and turning performance. For RC car owners in the UK who regularly bash or race their vehicles, upgrading to aluminium steering knuckles is one of the most cost-effective suspension improvements available, typically lasting three to five times longer than plastic alternatives. The rigid construction also means less flex during hard cornering, translating directly into more responsive steering inputs and better driver control of the vehicle. These components are essential spares for competitive RC racers and recommended upgrades for any serious hobbyist looking to extend their Arrma's service life and improve on-track performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these steering knuckles compatible with my Arrma RC car? — These Fastrax steering knuckles are specifically designed for the Arrma Senton and Typhon 1/10 scale models. Check your vehicle documentation to confirm you own one of these models before purchasing. They are direct replacements for the front steering components on these vehicles.
- Why should I upgrade from plastic to aluminium steering knuckles? — Plastic steering knuckles, whilst adequate for casual driving, can flex under load and wear out relatively quickly, especially if you bash hard or race your Arrma. Aluminium knuckles provide superior rigidity, which improves steering response and handling whilst lasting significantly longer. Most RC enthusiasts find the improved performance and durability worth the modest investment.
- Will these improve my RC car's handling? — Yes, upgrading to aluminium steering knuckles will noticeably improve your vehicle's handling characteristics. The increased rigidity reduces flex in the suspension geometry during cornering and impacts, giving you more direct steering response and better overall control. You'll notice smoother, more predictable handling especially during aggressive driving.
- Are these difficult to install? — No, these are direct replacement components that bolt straight onto your Arrma Senton or Typhon. If you have basic RC maintenance skills and standard hex wrenches, installation takes just a few minutes. You simply remove the old plastic knuckles and bolt these aluminium ones in their place. No special tools or modifications are required.
- What is the colour of these steering knuckles? — These Fastrax steering knuckles come finished in red, which provides an attractive upgrade appearance to your Arrma's front end whilst making it easy to spot any wear or damage at a glance.
- How many steering knuckles do I get in this package? — You receive a pair, meaning both the left and right front steering knuckles needed to fully upgrade your Arrma's front end. This is the complete set required for the front axle.
- Are these original Arrma parts or aftermarket? — These are Fastrax aftermarket performance parts, not original Arrma components. However, Fastrax is a recognised manufacturer of high-quality RC replacement and upgrade parts that are widely used by RC enthusiasts, competitors and professional racers worldwide.
