Overview
The Traxxas Steering Blocks Extreme Heavy Duty represent a premium upgrade option for serious RC enthusiasts running compatible Traxxas models across the UK. These replacement steering blocks are engineered specifically for use with the #9080 Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit, delivering enhanced durability and performance for demanding driving conditions. Whether you're tackling challenging terrain, competing in races, or simply pushing your RC car UK to its limits, these heavy-duty components provide the reinforcement your suspension system needs to handle increased stress and maintain precise steering geometry.
Designed as left and right steering block pairs, these components are essential replacement parts for RC bashers and racers who demand maximum durability from their setups. The extreme heavy-duty construction means you get components built to withstand the punishment of aggressive driving styles, impacts, and high-performance manoeuvres. If you're running an RC monster truck, short course truck, or rally buggy with the #9080 upgrade kit, these steering blocks are a critical part of your chassis spares collection and a must-have upgrade for long-term reliability.
As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas replacement parts and upgrade components. These steering blocks come in black and are specifically manufactured to work seamlessly with the #9080 upgrade kit series, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing Traxxas chassis platform.

- Left and Right Pair — The package includes both left and right steering blocks, providing you with a complete replacement set for your steering system so you can upgrade both sides of your RC car's front suspension in one purchase.
- 3x20mm BCS Fastening — These blocks utilise 3x20mm ball cap screws for secure mounting, ensuring reliable connection to your suspension arms and maintaining consistent steering performance even under extreme driving conditions.
- #9080 Upgrade Kit Compatibility — These steering blocks are specifically designed for use with the Traxxas #9080-series extreme heavy-duty upgrade kit and are not compatible with standard suspension parts, ensuring proper fitment and performance when used as intended.
- Multiple Model Compatibility — These blocks are engineered as accessory parts for Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4, Slash 4X4 Ultimate, Slash 4X4 VXL, and Slash 4X4 models, providing flexibility across the Traxxas ready to run RC range.
- Black Finish — The stealth black colour matches most modern Traxxas builds and provides a professional appearance whilst the colour has no impact on performance characteristics.
Technical Performance
These extreme heavy-duty steering blocks represent a significant step up in chassis spares quality for RC enthusiasts serious about durability and performance. The heavy-duty design utilises robust construction materials engineered to handle the stresses generated by powerful brushless motors, high-speed driving, and aggressive steering inputs. The 3x20mm ball cap screw mounting system provides secure fastening that maintains alignment and geometry under load, critical for maintaining precise steering response during high-performance driving. When used as part of the complete #9080 extreme heavy-duty upgrade kit, these blocks work in conjunction with other reinforced suspension components to create a chassis setup capable of withstanding the demands of competitive RC racing and aggressive bashing. The engineering focuses on eliminating flex in the steering geometry, which maintains consistent handling characteristics even when pushing your RC car UK to extreme performance levels. For drivers running brushless powerplants or preparing vehicles for competition use, these components represent a wise investment in reliability and longevity, reducing the frequency of component replacement and allowing you to focus on driving rather than repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these steering blocks compatible with my Traxxas RC car? — These extreme heavy-duty steering blocks are specifically designed for use with the #9080 upgrade kit and are compatible with Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4, Slash 4X4 Ultimate, Slash 4X4 VXL, and Slash 4X4 models. Check your vehicle's model number to confirm compatibility before purchasing, or contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- Can these blocks be used with standard suspension parts? — No, these extreme heavy-duty steering blocks are engineered exclusively for use with the #9080-series upgrade kit and are not compatible with standard Traxxas suspension components. Using them with standard parts may result in fitment issues or compromised performance.
- Why would I need to replace my steering blocks? — Steering blocks can wear, crack, or develop flex under extreme driving conditions, particularly during aggressive bashing or racing. Replacing them with these heavy-duty versions improves durability and eliminates geometry changes that occur when components wear, restoring precise steering response and handling characteristics.
- What's the difference between standard and extreme heavy-duty steering blocks? — Extreme heavy-duty blocks feature reinforced construction with thicker walls and enhanced material composition compared to standard blocks, delivering superior durability and impact resistance whilst maintaining tighter tolerances that reduce unwanted flex in the steering geometry.
- Do these blocks come with everything I need for installation? — The blocks include the necessary 3x20mm ball cap screws for mounting, though you may want to have basic RC tools (hex drivers, screwdrivers) available for installation. Refer to Traxxas assembly guides for detailed installation instructions specific to your model.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are replacement components best suited to experienced RC enthusiasts who understand suspension geometry and maintenance. If you're new to RC, we recommend starting with standard components and upgrading to heavy-duty options as your driving skills progress and you discover areas where added durability benefits your particular driving style.
