Technical Performance
These ARRMA Steel Steering Posts represent the engineering excellence that has made ARRMA one of the most respected names in RC vehicles. The steel construction provides superior rigidity compared to composite alternatives, which is essential for maintaining precise steering geometry under the extreme forces generated by acceleration, braking and cornering in high-performance RC buggies, trucks and monster trucks. The 6x42mm dimensions have been carefully engineered to match the steering linkage geometry of multiple ARRMA platforms, including the 6S and 8S brushless models that demand the highest levels of component reliability. The black powder-coated finish protects against moisture ingress and UV degradation, extending the service life of these critical steering components. Whether you're running your RC vehicle in wet conditions or dry summer heat, these steering posts maintain their dimensional accuracy and performance characteristics, delivering the steering response you've tuned your vehicle to achieve. The hex-shaped foot eliminates the possibility of rotation under load, a critical design feature for maintaining consistent steering response lap after lap.
