Samix TRX-4 brass knuckle set

Samix have introduced a brass knuckle set for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. Machined from high-quality material and coming black coated for wear and looks, the knuckles weigh in at 51g per side, meaning they will add a whooping 102g per set to one of the lowest areas of the truck. The added weight will greatly lower the overall centre of gravity while shifting weight to the front of the truck for improved climb performance. The knuckles are a drop fit and work with the standard Traxxas parts as well as the respective Samix TRX-4 optionals.
