Key Features
- Machined Billet 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The caster blocks are manufactured from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which is widely recognised in RC engineering for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, machinability, and durability. This material choice ensures your suspension geometry remains stable and precise even under demanding driving conditions and repeated impacts.
- Blue-Anodised Finish — The protective blue-anodised coating not only provides an eye-catching aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with other suspension components, but also offers corrosion resistance and wear protection that extends the service life of these precision parts. The anodising process creates a hard, durable surface that resists scratching and fading.
- 30-Degree Caster Angle — The specifically engineered 30-degree caster geometry improves your RC model's handling balance, providing enhanced cornering grip whilst maintaining stable straight-line performance. Caster angle is a critical suspension setting that affects how your vehicle responds to steering input and how it behaves during acceleration and braking transitions.
- High-Contrast Laser-Etched TRX Logo — Each caster block features a precision laser-etched Traxxas logo with exceptional contrast, adding a premium touch to your suspension and demonstrating authentic Traxxas quality. This attention to detail reflects the engineering excellence throughout these components.
- Left and Right Pair Included — This package includes both left and right caster blocks, ensuring balanced suspension geometry across your entire vehicle. Matched pairs guarantee consistent handling characteristics on both sides of your RC car.
- Suspension Screw Pin Included — Two suspension screw pins are provided in this package, supplying the fastening hardware needed for installation. These precision pins ensure secure attachment to your vehicle's suspension and maintain the designed caster angle under all driving conditions.
- Simple Bolt-On Installation — Installation requires no complex modifications or special tools, making this upgrade accessible to RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The straightforward bolt-on design inspires confidence for future upgrades and maintenance work.
- Enhanced Vehicle Control and Appearance — By upgrading to these aluminium caster blocks, you're simultaneously improving your model's handling precision whilst elevating its visual presentation. The combination of performance gains and aesthetic enhancement makes this one of the most impactful suspension upgrades available.
