It's the type of protective upgrade that pays for itself the moment it prevents expensive steering damage during a challenging climb or tricky rock section.
The RC4WD Steering Guard fits specifically with the RC4WD C2X Class 2 Competition Truck equipped with the Mojave II 4 Door Body, making it the ideal choice for owners of this competition-grade platform who want factory-correct protection without compromising on performance or aesthetics. Competitors and serious hobbyists shopping for RC parts in the UK will appreciate the authentic engineering and attention to detail that RC4WD brings to every component.
Key Features
- Precision CNC-Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — This steering guard is manufactured from solid billet aluminium using computer numerical control (CNC) machining, which means every component is produced to exact specifications with zero tolerance for variance. This method of manufacturing ensures consistency, strength and reliability that you simply cannot achieve with injection moulded or stamped components, making it the professional choice for serious RC crawlers.
- Silver Anodised Finish — The protective anodised coating provides a tough, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains its appearance through muddy trails, wet conditions and salt-laden environments. The silver anodised aesthetic also delivers an authentic, scale-appropriate look that complements the competition-grade design of the C2X platform without appearing overly industrial or out of place.
- Lightweight Design — At just 14.2 grams (0.50 ounces), this steering guard adds minimal unsprung weight to your crawler, which is critical for maintaining the precise handling characteristics and suspension responsiveness that the C2X Class 2 Competition Truck is engineered to deliver. Every gram matters in competitive rock crawling, and RC4WD has engineered this component to provide maximum protection with minimal performance compromise.
- Strategic Protection for Front-End Steering Components — The guard is specifically shaped and positioned to shield the vulnerable steering linkages, servo hardware and suspension pick-up points at the front of your C2X, defending against rock strikes, branches and contact damage that would otherwise require expensive repairs or complete component replacement during a trail session.
- Factory-Correct Fitment for C2X Platform — Designed and tested specifically for the RC4WD C2X Class 2 Competition Truck with Mojave II 4 Door Body, this guard provides perfect integration without modification, fitment issues or alignment problems. You get a bolt-on solution that requires no trimming, no drilling and no compromises on fit or finish.
- Professional Competition-Grade Engineering — RC4WD's reputation in the competitive RC crawling community is built on components like this — precision-engineered parts that serious competitors trust in high-stakes racing scenarios. This guard represents the same engineering philosophy and quality standards that RC4WD applies across their entire product range.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Steering Guard is engineered with the same precision and attention to detail that defines the entire C2X Class 2 Competition Truck platform. Manufactured from premium billet aluminium rather than cast or injection-moulded alternatives, this guard delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance that competition crawlers demand. The material choice is deliberate: billet aluminium offers superior durability and impact resistance whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel or cast iron, preserving the carefully balanced weight distribution and responsive handling characteristics that make the C2X competitive at the highest levels of RC rock crawling. The CNC machining process ensures every guard is produced to identical specifications, with tight tolerances that guarantee perfect fitment and reliable performance across multiple units. The silver anodised finish is not merely cosmetic — it's a functional protective coating that creates a hard, corrosion-resistant surface capable of withstanding the harsh environments that RC trail runners and rock crawlers regularly encounter. The dimensions of 82.1mm in length and 29.6mm in width are precisely calculated to provide comprehensive steering component coverage without interfering with suspension articulation, wheel turn radius, or the vehicle's impressive rock crawling geometry. For owners of RC4WD C2X Class 2 Competition Trucks, this is a protection component that delivers professional-grade durability without any compromise to performance, handling or the authentic scale appearance that defines the C2X platform.
