Overview
The ARRMA Steering Bushing 6x8x5mm (4) Z-ARA712007 is an essential replacement steering component for serious RC enthusiasts maintaining their high-performance ARRMA vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated basher, competitive racer, or RC car UK hobbyist who demands reliability from your equipment, these steering bushings are critical wear items that keep your vehicle's steering responsive and precise. Over time, steering bushings in ready to run RC vehicles experience wear from constant use, dirt ingestion, and the rigours of aggressive driving. These genuine ARRMA replacement bushings restore your steering geometry to factory specifications, ensuring predictable handling and smooth steering response.
Steering bushings are small but absolutely vital components that support the steering linkage and allow smooth rotational movement within your RC monster truck or stunt truck's steering assembly. When they wear, you'll notice increased play in the steering, sluggish response, and potentially unpredictable handling characteristics that can compromise both performance and enjoyment. The ARRMA Steering Bushing Z-ARA712007 addresses these issues with genuine OEM components designed specifically for compatibility with ARRMA's largest and most powerful brushless RC vehicles. This is a genuine manufacturer part, not an aftermarket substitute, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance every time.
If you own an ARRMA 1/5 Kraton 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Monster Truck or the equally impressive ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck, maintaining your steering system with quality replacement parts is essential for consistent performance. These bushings are the type of component that serious RC enthusiasts keep on hand, ensuring minimal downtime between bashing sessions or competitions. For anyone investing in a premium brushless RC vehicle from ARRMA, genuine replacement parts represent the best value for money and performance reliability.
Key Features
- Genuine ARRMA OEM Components — These are authentic manufacturer parts designed and engineered specifically for ARRMA vehicles, not generic aftermarket substitutes that may cause fitment issues or reduced performance. Using genuine parts ensures compatibility and reliability.
- Precise 6x8x5mm Dimensions — The specific dimensions of these bushings are engineered for exact fitment in ARRMA steering assemblies, providing optimal clearance and smooth rotational movement without excessive play or binding. Precision manufacturing matters in RC vehicles where steering response directly impacts handling.
- Set of Four Units — Four bushings are included in this pack, allowing you to replace all steering components or keep spares on hand for future maintenance. Having multiple units ensures you're not left without parts if more than one bushing requires replacement.
- Engineered for 8S Brushless Power — These bushings are specifically designed to withstand the demands placed on steering systems in extreme-power brushless RC vehicles like the ARRMA Kraton 4X4 8S and Outcast 4X4 8S models. The engineering and material selection reflects the forces generated by high-performance brushless motors and batteries.
- Quick and Easy Replacement — Steering bushings are a straightforward maintenance component that any RC enthusiast can replace in minutes with basic tools. This makes it an ideal DIY repair task for anyone wanting to maintain their RC vehicle without requiring professional service.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Steering Bushing 6x8x5mm represents the engineering standards you'd expect from a leading manufacturer of premium RC vehicles. These bushings are manufactured to precise tolerances that ensure smooth operation within the steering linkage assembly of ARRMA's most powerful models. The 6x8x5mm specification indicates an internal bore of 6mm that accommodates the steering rod or pin, an external diameter of 8mm for mounting, and a height of 5mm for proper assembly. Constructed from materials engineered to resist wear and maintain dimensional stability under the constant stress of high-performance driving, these bushings deliver the durability that RC enthusiasts demand. In vehicles powered by brushless motors producing extreme performance, steering components experience significant lateral forces during cornering, acceleration, and aggressive manoeuvres. These OEM bushings are engineered to maintain their integrity through thousands of cycles whilst resisting the wear that comes from dirt, sand, and moisture exposure. The engineering reflects ARRMA's commitment to quality throughout their product line, from their flagship 1/5 scale brushless RC monster truck and stunt truck platforms down to the smallest replacement components. When steering bushings wear beyond their service life, they allow the steering linkage to develop play, which manifests as loose steering feel, delayed response to input, and potentially unpredictable handling. Replacing them with genuine ARRMA parts restores the factory steering geometry and responsiveness that your vehicle was engineered to deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA RC vehicles are these steering bushings compatible with? — These steering bushings are compatible with the ARRMA 1/5 Kraton 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Monster Truck RTR in black, and the ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck RTR in black. If you own either of these ready to run RC vehicles, these bushings are the correct replacement components for your steering assembly maintenance.
- How often should I replace my steering bushings? — Steering bushings are wear items that should be replaced when you notice increased play in the steering, loose steering response, or when they show visible damage or wear. Frequency of replacement depends on how often you use your RC vehicle, driving conditions, and maintenance practices. Regular users may replace them every season or after several months of active use.
- Why do steering bushings wear out? — Steering bushings experience constant movement and stress as your RC vehicle drives, corners, and manoeuvres. Exposure to dirt, sand, moisture, and the repeated lateral forces generated during driving gradually wears these components, causing them to lose their tight tolerances and develop excessive play in the steering system.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine ARRMA OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, manufactured by ARRMA specifically for their vehicles. This means they're engineered to exact specifications, guaranteed to fit properly, and designed to match the performance and durability standards of your ARRMA RC vehicle. Choosing genuine parts over aftermarket alternatives ensures reliability and proper fit.
- Do I need any special tools to replace these bushings? — Steering bushings are a relatively simple component to replace with basic RC maintenance tools. The specific tools required depend on how your vehicle's steering assembly is configured, but typically you'll need hex wrenches, screwdrivers, or specialty RC tool sets. Consult your ARRMA vehicle's manual for detailed replacement instructions specific to your model.
