Overview
The ARRMA Steering Block (1 Pair) Z-ARA340189 is an essential replacement chassis spare part designed for ARRMA RC vehicles, offering the perfect solution when you need to restore your RC car's steering geometry and performance. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running an ARRMA monster truck, short course truck, or specialist vehicle, these steering blocks are critical components that directly affect your vehicle's handling characteristics, turning precision, and overall driving experience. Available here at RC Model Shop, these OEM ARRMA parts are the genuine choice for maintaining your brushless or brushed RC vehicle in peak condition.
Steering blocks are fundamental suspension and steering components that connect your vehicle's suspension arms to the steering linkage system. They bear considerable stress during aggressive driving, jumps, and high-speed cornering, making them susceptible to wear, cracks, and damage through normal use or after impacts. Having a spare pair of steering blocks ensures you can quickly replace worn or damaged units without lengthy downtime, allowing you to keep your RC car running throughout your track sessions, weekend bashing adventures, or competitive racing schedules. These composite ARRMA steering blocks are manufactured to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance on compatible ARRMA vehicles.
The Z-ARA340189 steering block pair is compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA RC vehicles, including the popular FURY 223S BLX Brushless Short Course Truck range (available in green and blue variants), the legendary Gorgon MT (Monster Truck) in multiple configurations with both RTR (Ready-To-Run) and RTA (Ready-To-Assemble) options, and the high-performance Quake 223S DSC Brushless Monster Truck range (offered in green, red, and purple). Whether you own a battery and charger equipped version or prefer the RTR format with DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), these steering blocks will restore your vehicle's steering precision and suspension alignment to factory specifications.
Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — Manufactured from durable composite plastic material, these steering blocks provide excellent impact resistance and durability during extreme RC action, ensuring they withstand the rigorous demands of off-road bashing, track racing, and competitive driving without premature failure or excessive wear.
- Increased Crash Resistance — The composite construction absorbs impacts and collisions more effectively than brittle plastic alternatives, protecting your steering geometry and suspension alignment when you inevitably encounter obstacles, jumps, or aggressive terrain during your RC adventures.
- Long-Lasting Durability — These OEM ARRMA components are engineered for extended service life, maintaining their structural integrity through hundreds of hours of driving, allowing you to enjoy consistent performance without frequent replacements.
- Precision Molding — Each steering block is precision-molded to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth suspension articulation and steering operation in all weather conditions and terrain types, from dry tarmac to wet grass and muddy tracks.
- Smooth Steering Operation — The precisely manufactured geometry ensures your steering linkage operates smoothly without binding or stiffness, delivering responsive and predictable handling characteristics across all driving conditions.
- Pair Format — This product includes both the left and right steering blocks in one convenient purchase, eliminating the need to source components separately and ensuring matched specifications across both sides of your vehicle's front or rear steering geometry.
- OEM ARRMA Parts — As genuine ARRMA components, these steering blocks are manufactured to original equipment standards, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility without modification, shimming, or adjustment.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Steering Block (1 Pair) represents the engineering excellence that ARRMA brings to RC component manufacturing. These composite blocks are engineered using precision injection molding techniques that create perfectly consistent geometry, ensuring minimal variation between units and guaranteeing that your vehicle's front and rear steering systems operate symmetrically. The composite material selection strikes an optimal balance between rigidity (necessary for maintaining accurate steering geometry) and impact absorption (essential for protecting steering linkages during crashes and rough terrain driving). The material resists the common failure modes experienced by older plastic steering blocks, including stress cracking, creep deformation, and impact breakage that occur during competitive driving or aggressive bashing sessions. Unlike budget-grade alternatives, these ARRMA steering blocks maintain their dimensional stability through extended use, ensuring your vehicle's steering alignment and handling characteristics remain consistent from your first drive through hundreds of hours of operation. The precision molding process creates smooth internal surfaces and precise pivot point geometries, eliminating the friction and play that can develop in lower-quality components. Whether you're operating a brushless-equipped FURY or QUAKE model with high-RPM steering servo responsiveness, or a brushed GORGON with traditional servo characteristics, these steering blocks accommodate the full range of steering loads and response speeds that ARRMA vehicles demand. The composite material is also resistant to UV degradation and moisture absorption, making these components suitable for outdoor storage and use in varying UK weather conditions without dimensional changes or material brittleness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles are compatible with the Z-ARA340189 steering blocks? — These steering blocks are specifically designed for ARRMA models including the FURY 223S BLX Brushless Short Course Truck (green and blue RTR variants), the GORGON MT Monster Truck (available in RTR, RTA with battery and charger, and Ready-To-Assemble Kit formats with multiple colour options including yellow, blue, red, purple, and gunmetal), and the QUAKE 223S DSC Brushless Monster Truck (available in green, red, and purple). Check your vehicle's model number against the compatibility list to ensure correct fitment.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are OEM (original equipment manufacturer) ARRMA parts manufactured to the same specifications as the components supplied with new vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and performance without modification or adjustment.
- How often should steering blocks be replaced? — Steering blocks typically require replacement after impacts, crashes, or when you notice excessive play in the steering linkage, stiffness in steering response, or visible cracks in the composite material. Many RC enthusiasts carry spare steering blocks for track days or racing events to minimise downtime from unavoidable collisions.
- What is the difference between these composite steering blocks and aluminium alternatives? — These ARRMA composite steering blocks offer superior impact absorption and crash resistance compared to rigid aluminium options, making them ideal for bashing and aggressive off-road driving. Aluminium steering blocks provide greater strength for sustained high-speed racing but offer less forgiveness during impacts. The choice depends on your driving style and intended use.
- Do steering blocks affect handling and performance? — Damaged or worn steering blocks directly impact your vehicle's steering response, cornering precision, and suspension alignment. Replacing worn blocks restores original equipment handling characteristics, improving steering responsiveness and predictability during driving.
- Can I install these steering blocks myself? — Yes, steering block replacement is a straightforward maintenance task suitable for RC hobbyists with basic mechanical knowledge and standard tools. However, if you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle assembly, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance or assist with installation.
