Overview
The Traxxas Maxx Caster Blocks (C-Hubs) Left & Right TRX8932 are essential replacement chassis spares designed specifically for Traxxas Maxx models.

For anyone serious about RC car UK performance and reliability, having genuine Traxxas replacement parts on hand is essential to keep your model running at its best.
Caster blocks, also known as C-hubs, are fundamental suspension components that connect your RC truck's steering knuckles to the chassis and suspension arms. They play a vital role in determining your vehicle's handling characteristics, steering response, and overall performance on the track or off-road terrain. When these components wear out or sustain damage during aggressive driving or competitive racing, replacement is straightforward with official Traxxas parts designed with perfect fitment and durability in mind.
These left and right caster blocks come as a matched pair, ensuring symmetrical suspension geometry and balanced handling across both sides of your RC model truck. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual outdoor driving, a competitive racer pushing your Maxx to its limits, or an RC enthusiast who simply wants to maintain their truck with quality genuine parts, the TRX8932 delivers the reliability and performance you expect from Traxxas.
Key Features

Using OEM parts rather than aftermarket alternatives guarantees proper fitment and maintains your vehicle's suspension geometry precisely as engineered.
- Left & Right Matched Pair — The package includes both left and right caster blocks, providing a complete suspension upgrade or repair solution. This symmetrical setup ensures balanced steering and handling characteristics across both sides of your RC truck.
- Compatible with Multiple Maxx Models — These caster blocks fit the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD brushless short course truck in multiple colour options including red, green, rock n roll, and blue, as well as the Traxxas WideMaxx monster truck in red, rock n roll, and green variants. This broad compatibility makes them an excellent choice if you own multiple Maxx platform vehicles.
- Chassis Spares Category — Classified as chassis spares rather than cosmetic parts, these components are integral to your RC truck's structural integrity and performance. Upgrading or replacing worn caster blocks directly impacts steering precision, suspension response, and overall handling.

Technical Performance
Caster blocks are precision-engineered suspension components that form the connection point between your RC truck's steering system and suspension arms. In Traxxas Maxx models, these components are subjected to significant forces during acceleration, braking, cornering, and rough terrain driving. The TRX8932 caster blocks are manufactured to Traxxas's stringent engineering standards, ensuring they can withstand the demands of high-performance brushless RC trucks with 6S LiPo battery power. The left and right blocks work together to maintain consistent caster angles, which directly influences your vehicle's steering response, stability at speed, and recovery characteristics after cornering. For owners of the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD brushless short course truck or WideMaxx monster truck platforms, these caster blocks are engineered to preserve the suspension geometry and handling characteristics that Traxxas has tuned into these models. Whether you're running high-speed circuits or aggressive off-road bashing, maintaining the integrity of your caster blocks through regular inspection and timely replacement ensures your RC vehicle continues to perform at its best.
