Key Features
- CNC Machined from 7075-T6 Aluminium — The steering rack is precision-engineered using high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, one of the strongest aluminium formulations available for RC applications, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to bending under extreme driving conditions.
- Precision Engineered for Accurate Fit — Each steering rack is CNC machined to exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect fit with the steering assembly of your ARRMA vehicle and ensuring smooth, responsive steering response without play or wobble.
- Anodized Red Finish — The aluminium component features a professional red anodised coating that not only provides protection against corrosion and wear but also delivers that authentic ARRMA aesthetic that makes your RC truck or buggy look factory-fresh.
- Laser-Etched ARRMA Branding — The ARRMA logo is laser-etched directly onto the component, creating a permanent, professional appearance that won't fade or wear off even after heavy use and countless hours of bashing or racing.
- Adds Strength and Stiffness — By replacing a worn or damaged steering rack with this premium aluminium component, you significantly increase the structural rigidity of your steering system, which translates directly to improved steering response consistency and reduced geometry changes during aggressive driving.
- Resists Bending to Ensure Consistent Steering Geometry — The superior strength of 7075-T6 aluminium means the steering rack will not flex or bend during hard cornering or high-speed manoeuvres, maintaining predictable handling characteristics throughout every drive session.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Steering Rack CNC 7075 Aluminum Red is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability for serious RC enthusiasts. Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, this component offers significantly superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to standard plastic or weaker aluminium alternatives. The CNC machining process ensures that every part meets exact specifications, eliminating tolerance stacking that could lead to steering slop or inconsistent geometry. The anodised finish provides dual benefits: first, it protects the aluminium from oxidation and corrosion, particularly important for UK RC drivers who may encounter damp conditions or moisture. Second, it creates a hard surface that resists scratching and wear, maintaining the component's appearance and performance over extended use. This steering rack is compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA vehicles including all 1/8 scale models such as the Kraton 6S, Notorious 6S, Outcast 6S, Talion 6S, and Typhon 6S, as well as 1/7 scale models including the Big Rock 6S, Felony 6S, Infraction 6S, MOJAVE 6S, Limitless 6S, and Fireteam 6S. The precision engineering ensures that replacing a worn steering rack will restore your vehicle to factory steering geometry, improving handling predictability and responsiveness. For RC car UK buyers looking to enhance their brushless electric vehicle's performance, this upgrade is particularly valuable as it directly impacts steering precision and overall handling characteristics, especially noticeable during high-speed cornering or technical course navigation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models is this steering rack compatible with? — This steering rack is compatible with an extensive range of ARRMA RC vehicles including 1/8 scale models: Kraton 6S (multiple versions including RTR, Roller, and EXB variants), Notorious 6S, Outcast 6S, Talion 6S, and Typhon 6S. It also fits 1/7 scale models: Big Rock 6S, Felony 6S, Infraction 6S, MOJAVE 6S, Limitless 6S, and Fireteam 6S. Check your specific model number against the compatibility list to confirm fitment.
- What is 7075-T6 aluminium and why does it matter? — 7075-T6 is one of the strongest aluminium alloys available, offering superior strength and stiffness compared to standard aluminium or plastic components. The T6 designation indicates the material has been heat-treated to achieve optimal strength characteristics. For RC applications, this means your steering rack will resist bending and flexing during hard cornering and high-speed driving, ensuring consistent steering geometry and predictable handling throughout your driving session.
- Will this improve the handling of my ARRMA RC vehicle? — Yes, upgrading to this CNC machined aluminium steering rack will noticeably improve steering precision and consistency. If your original steering rack has developed play, flex, or bending, you'll immediately notice improved steering response and more predictable handling. Even on a new vehicle, upgrading to this premium component provides enhanced stiffness that translates to more responsive cornering and better geometry retention under load.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA part? — Yes, this is an authentic ARRMA OEM (original equipment manufacturer) spare part, manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as the components fitted to new ARRMA vehicles. The part number Z-ARA340174 corresponds to the official ARRMA part ARA340174, ensuring you receive a genuine component that will fit perfectly and perform as intended.
- How difficult is it to install this steering rack? — Installation difficulty depends on your mechanical experience and tools available. This is a direct replacement component, meaning it bolts directly into your vehicle's steering assembly. If you're replacing an existing steering rack, follow your vehicle's instruction manual for removal and installation procedures. If you're unsure about the process, many UK RC hobby retailers and clubs offer installation services, or you can request guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts in your local community.
- Does this part require any assembly? — No, the steering rack comes ready to install. It is a single assembled component that bolts directly onto your ARRMA vehicle's steering assembly. No additional parts or assembly steps are required beyond removing your old steering rack and fitting the new one according to your vehicle's manual.
- What is the difference between this CNC aluminium steering rack and the standard plastic version? — The CNC machined 7075-T6 aluminium steering rack offers substantially greater strength and stiffness compared to standard plastic components. Aluminium will not flex or bend under the extreme forces experienced during aggressive driving, maintaining consistent steering geometry. This results in more predictable handling, faster steering response, and improved cornering performance. The investment in this premium component is particularly worthwhile if you participate in RC racing or enjoy high-performance driving.
- Will this steering rack work with my older ARRMA model? — This steering rack is designed for ARRMA 6S and higher-powered vehicles. Check the fitment list in the product specifications or consult your vehicle's instruction manual to confirm compatibility with your specific model. If you're unsure, contact an ARRMA dealer or experienced RC retailer who can confirm whether this part is suitable for your vehicle.
