Key Features
- High-Quality Lightweight Aluminium Construction — The steering rack is manufactured from premium-grade aluminium that significantly reduces vehicle weight compared to steel alternatives, which directly improves acceleration, handling and overall vehicle dynamics whilst maintaining exceptional strength and durability.
- Anodised Black Finish — The stealth black anodised coating provides a professional, aggressive appearance that matches modern RC car aesthetics, whilst the anodising process itself increases surface durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring the part maintains its appearance and function through extended use and exposure to outdoor elements.
- Precision Manufactured Hardware Fitting Holes — Every mounting hole is machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring fast and easy installation and replacement servicing with absolutely no fitment issues, allowing you to complete maintenance and repairs quickly and confidently without frustration.
- Two Ackermann Link Settings — The inclusion of two different Ackermann link settings provides essential tuning flexibility, allowing you to adjust your steering geometry to match different track conditions, driving styles and setup preferences, which is invaluable for optimising cornering speed and steering response across various racing scenarios.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Steering Rack represents premium engineering excellence in RC car chassis components. Constructed from high-grade aluminium, this steering rack delivers a perfect balance of weight reduction and structural rigidity that is essential in competitive RC racing environments. The anodised black finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process creates a hard oxide layer that significantly enhances the part's resistance to corrosion, scratches and wear, ensuring the steering rack maintains its performance characteristics and appearance through thousands of operating hours. The precision-manufactured hardware fitting holes are drilled and tapped to exact specifications, eliminating the common frustration of misaligned holes or stripped threads that plague lower-quality aftermarket parts. The provision of two Ackermann link settings is a sophisticated engineering feature that allows fine-tuning of your steering geometry—a capability normally reserved for high-end competition-grade RC cars. This flexibility enables you to dial in the perfect steering feel and corner entry characteristics for your specific track layout or driving preference, making this far more than just a simple replacement part; it's a performance tuning component that serious RC enthusiasts will appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this steering rack a direct replacement for my ARRMA RC car? — Yes, the ARRMA Steering Rack (Z-ARA340193) is manufactured as a genuine OEM spare part and is designed as a direct replacement for the steering rack on compatible ARRMA RC vehicles. It is precision-manufactured to fit perfectly with the existing mounting points on your chassis, ensuring hassle-free installation without any modification required.
- What are Ackermann link settings and why do I need two options? — Ackermann geometry refers to how your steering system converts steering input into wheel angle changes. Different Ackermann settings affect how your RC car turns—more aggressive settings can improve corner entry speed and response, whilst milder settings provide stability and predictability. Having two settings allows you to experiment and find the perfect balance for your driving style and track conditions, which is an advanced tuning feature normally found only on premium competition-grade RC vehicles.
- Why is aluminium better than steel for a steering rack? — Aluminium is significantly lighter than steel whilst maintaining excellent strength, which reduces overall vehicle weight and improves acceleration, handling response and battery runtime. The lighter steering assembly also reduces rotational inertia in the steering system, resulting in more responsive and precise steering input feedback from your transmitter, which is especially valuable during competitive racing when every millisecond counts.
- Will this steering rack improve my RC car's performance? — If you're replacing a worn or damaged steering rack, restoring it to original factory specifications will immediately improve steering response, precision and overall vehicle control. If you're upgrading from a lower-quality aftermarket part to this ARRMA genuine spare, you can expect noticeably better steering feel, improved corner speed and increased confidence in your vehicle's handling characteristics, particularly during high-speed passes and technical sections of track.
- Is installation difficult? — The precision-manufactured hardware fitting holes and design engineered for fast and easy servicing mean installation is straightforward. However, you should have basic RC mechanical knowledge and the appropriate tools to safely remove and install the steering rack. If you're uncertain, RC Model Shop staff can offer guidance, and many RC clubs and shops offer installation services if you require professional assistance.
