TRX-4 Portal Housing — Heavy Brass Option

This JR-TRX406-HD front/rear outer portal drive housing is a scale RC replacement part manufactured in brass for use on Traxxas TRX-4 models. It is intended as the external outer shell for portal axles and replaces the stock outer portal housings on compatible TRX-4 scale and trail crawler builds.

The component is described as heavy duty brass, providing a stiff, wear-resistant shell where builders want a metal exterior. As a scale accessory, it changes how the portal assembly interfaces with the axle and is commonly chosen for durability and appearance upgrades at both front and rear corners of the chassis.

Installation notes: this unit replaces the existing outer portal housings and must be fitted to the matching portal gear assembly on the TRX-4 chassis. Verify thread engagement, mating surfaces, and clearance around brake mounts and suspension links before final assembly. Use correct fasteners and recheck gear mesh after installation to prevent premature wear.

For builders seeking a metal substitute to the stock portal shell, this brass outer housing offers increased rigidity; always confirm fit with your TRX-4 portal components and inspect clearances during fitting.

Measure your portal housing bore, mounting bolt pattern, and the external dimensions of the portal gear carrier and compare them to the replacement housing before purchase to ensure correct fitment.
Brass increases unsprung mass compared with plastic parts, so you may need to soften damping or adjust spring rates for the desired ride and articulation on trail runs.
Clean mating surfaces, remove any casting burs, confirm fastener lengths, and set gear mesh carefully. Perform an initial slow run to check for binding and recheck clearances afterwards.
Often the stock bearings and hardware are reusable, but check bore diameters and thread engagement; replace any worn bearings to ensure reliable operation.
