What part is this?

Recommended Posts

 Hi all, new to the site and getting back into my tamiya manta ray. Managed to break one of the parts that connects the front axle to the wheel bit am not sure where to find a replacement. The bit I need to replace is the red bit in the photo. Think I've got the metal rig bearings currently which presumably I'll need to take out and put in any replacement. Welcome any info you can provide so I can get going again. Thanks

Since no one has mentioned it, the part is a steering knuckle. Although depending on which side of the pond you're on, it may be an upright I believe.

This should help:

Or go for aluminum:

Thanks, in Nottingham. I've got parts tree b off eBay already with what look like black ones on it but they are a bit different to the red one in the photo. Have you got exact replica? Thanks again

they should be the same only difference being colour 

i had the original red on my topforce until last year when i changed them due to them cracking which they are known for and i didn't want the red so i went for the black instead.

Not sure if the Manta are same as the ones I have as they are off the older 4WD buggies, they suffered madly from bump steer and I understand this part is one of the reasons.

I also have a new parts tree part B from the Super Hot Shot.
