Overview

The ARRMA Composite Steering Block Front 6S (2) is an essential suspension upgrade and replacement part for owners of high-performance 6S brushless RC vehicles. Whether you're running an ARRMA Kraton, Outcast, Big Rock, Fireteam, or Notorious 6S model, these precision-engineered composite steering blocks deliver the durability and reliability needed for extreme RC action. If you're searching for quality RC car spares UK-wide, this component represents a significant step up in suspension performance and longevity compared to standard plastic alternatives.

Designed specifically for the demands of serious RC bashers and racers, these composite steering blocks are built to withstand the punishing impacts and aggressive driving that come with 6S LiPo-powered speed trucks, monster trucks, and stunt trucks. The composite material construction provides superior crash resistance compared to standard plastic blocks, ensuring your suspension geometry remains accurate even after aggressive landings and hard impacts. This makes them an ideal choice for anyone running a high-powered RC vehicle in the UK or abroad.

ARRMA has engineered these blocks with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a component that not only replaces worn or damaged original parts but also enhances overall suspension performance. The included spacers and precision-engineered pivot ball housings work together to create a suspension system that responds predictably in all conditions, from smooth tarmac to rough terrain.

Key Features

• Super tough composite material — The steering blocks are manufactured from advanced composite materials that offer significantly increased crash resistance and long-lasting durability during the most extreme RC action, meaning they withstand impacts far better than standard plastic alternatives and maintain their structural integrity over extended use.
• Precision pivot ball housings — Each block features precision-engineered pivot ball housings that ensure smooth, consistent suspension operation in all conditions, from high-speed runs on smooth surfaces to aggressive bashing over rough terrain, providing responsive handling and predictable steering feel.
• Specially designed composite spacers — The package includes a carefully selected range of composite spacers (0.5mm and 1.0mm suspension arm spacers plus pivot ball spacers) that guarantee a solid and reliable fit of suspension arms and steering linkages, eliminating play and ensuring tight tolerances.
• Complete suspension package — Rather than just replacement blocks, this kit provides everything needed for a full suspension service, including left and right steering blocks plus all necessary spacers to achieve factory-spec geometry.
• Genuine ARRMA engineering — Manufactured by ARRMA to strict quality standards, these components ensure compatibility and performance with your specific 6S brushless RC vehicle model, whether it's a Kraton, Outcast, Big Rock, Fireteam, or Notorious variant.

Technical Performance

The Composite Steering Block Front 6S (2) represents ARRMA's commitment to providing high-quality replacement and upgrade components for their range of 6S brushless RC vehicles. The composite material chosen for these blocks strikes an optimal balance between strength and weight, providing the rigidity needed to maintain precise suspension geometry whilst keeping overall unsprung weight minimal. The precision pivot ball housings are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, ensuring that suspension articulation remains smooth and consistent whether you're pushing your vehicle to its limits in competition or enjoying weekend bashing sessions. The composite construction also offers advantages over traditional aluminium alternatives in terms of impact absorption and crack resistance, making these blocks particularly suitable for aggressive driving styles common in the UK RC community. The included spacer selection (4x pivot ball spacers, 2x 0.5mm suspension arm spacers, and 2x 1.0mm suspension arm spacers) allows builders and technicians to achieve precise suspension geometry and eliminate play in the steering linkage, critical factors in achieving responsive and predictable handling characteristics. These blocks are engineered to work seamlessly with the suspension systems found in ARRMA's 1/8 and 1/7 scale 6S brushless models, providing the performance and reliability expected from a manufacturer with ARRMA's reputation for quality and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What ARRMA models are compatible with the Composite Steering Block Front 6S? — These blocks are designed to fit a range of ARRMA 6S brushless vehicles including the Kraton, Outcast, Notorious, Big Rock, and Fireteam models in both 1/7 and 1/8 scales. The 6S designation refers to 6-cell LiPo battery compatibility, which is standard across ARRMA's high-performance models. Always check the specific product listing or contact an authorised retailer to confirm compatibility with your exact model variant.
• Are composite steering blocks better than aluminium or plastic alternatives? — Composite steering blocks offer an excellent balance of benefits that make them superior to standard plastic alternatives for serious RC enthusiasts. They provide increased crash resistance and durability compared to plastic, whilst maintaining a lighter weight profile than full aluminium components. This makes them particularly suitable for 6S brushless vehicles where response and handling precision are critical. The composite material also offers better impact absorption, reducing the likelihood of cracks developing during aggressive bashing sessions common in the UK RC community.
• Why would I need to replace my steering blocks? — Steering blocks are suspension components that endure constant stress from suspension articulation, braking forces, and impacts during bashing or racing. Over time, standard plastic blocks can crack, wear, or develop play in the pivot ball housings, compromising steering response and handling precision. Upgrading to these composite steering blocks provides not only replacement functionality but also improved performance and durability for longer-term ownership. Many RC car enthusiasts use steering block replacement as part of regular vehicle maintenance to ensure optimal suspension performance.
• What are the spacers included in this package for? — The composite spacers included in this kit serve critical functions in your suspension setup. Pivot ball spacers help ensure consistent steering geometry and eliminate play in the pivot points, whilst the 0.5mm and 1.0mm suspension arm spacers allow you to fine-tune the relationship between the suspension arms and the steering blocks themselves. These spacers are essential for achieving tight tolerances and precise suspension geometry that translates to responsive handling and predictable steering feel, whether you're running on-road or off-road courses.
• Can I use these blocks as an upgrade on my current vehicle? — Absolutely. Many RC car owners in the UK purchase these composite steering blocks specifically as an upgrade from their original plastic equivalents to improve handling and durability. The advanced composite material provides better crash resistance and maintains suspension geometry more reliably than standard plastic, making them an excellent upgrade choice for anyone looking to enhance their vehicle's performance and longevity.
