TRX10733-BLUE

Overview

Traxxas Caster Blocks (C-hubs) represent premium upgrade components designed to enhance the performance, durability and visual appeal of your RC vehicle. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to customise your mini-scale monster truck or a serious basher seeking improved control and handling characteristics, these aluminium caster blocks deliver genuine Traxxas quality that makes a real difference to your driving experience. These left and right caster blocks are engineered to improve steering precision, increase overall ruggedness and give your RC car a more aggressive, professional appearance on the track or at the bash spot.

Built from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium with a striking blue anodised finish, these caster blocks (also known as C-hubs in RC terminology) are genuine Traxxas components manufactured by Traxxas for Traxxas vehicles. This factory-engineered approach guarantees perfect fitment and compatibility with supported mini-scale RC models, eliminating the guesswork often associated with aftermarket upgrade parts. If you own a Mini Maxx, Mini Rally VXL, or Mini Slash BL-2S RC monster truck or short course truck, upgrading to these aluminium caster blocks will noticeably improve your vehicle's handling, durability and street credibility.

The blue anodised finish not only protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear but also provides a stunning visual upgrade that contrasts beautifully against your RC vehicle's bodywork. As an official Traxxas accessory part, these caster blocks represent the ideal way to enhance your mini-scale RC car UK investment with components engineered and tested by the manufacturers themselves. Many RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers across the UK choose Traxxas upgrade components like these caster blocks because they deliver measurable improvements in handling, precision and longevity.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These caster blocks are manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio crucial for RC vehicles where precision and durability are essential; this aerospace-grade material resists impact damage better than plastic alternatives and maintains its structural integrity through thousands of hard landings and aggressive driving sessions.
• Brilliant Blue Anodised Finish — The professional blue anodised coating serves a dual purpose: it provides superior corrosion resistance that extends component lifespan in all UK weather conditions, and it delivers a striking visual upgrade that makes your RC car stand out with a premium appearance that commands respect at the track or bash spot.
• Improved Appearance — Beyond functional upgrades, these caster blocks transform the visual profile of your mini-scale RC vehicle, replacing basic plastic components with eye-catching aluminium parts that give your RC car a more professional, race-ready aesthetic.
• Enhanced Strength and Precision — The rigid aluminium construction provides superior structural integrity compared to plastic alternatives, which directly translates to more responsive steering, improved cornering consistency, and better overall handling characteristics that competitive RC drivers appreciate.
• Genuine Factory Fit and Finish — As genuine Traxxas accessories manufactured by Traxxas specifically for Traxxas mini-scale models, these caster blocks guarantee perfect fitment without modification, ensuring that you're installing components engineered to factory specifications by the vehicle's original manufacturers.
• Left and Right Pair Included — The package includes both left and right caster blocks, providing complete coverage for your RC vehicle's front end suspension geometry so you can upgrade both sides simultaneously for balanced handling improvements.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Caster Blocks represent a thoughtful engineering solution that addresses the demands of mini-scale RC driving. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, this material is recognised throughout the RC hobby and aerospace industries for its exceptional combination of strength, light weight and machinability. The 6061-T6 designation indicates the alloy has been heat-treated to the T6 temper, which maximises its mechanical properties and makes it significantly more durable than standard 6061-T4 aluminium or traditional plastic components. When you install these caster blocks on your mini-scale RC vehicle, you're upgrading the suspension geometry components that directly affect steering response, turning radius and cornering stability. The increased rigidity of aluminium compared to plastic means less flex during aggressive cornering, which translates to more predictable handling and faster lap times in competitive driving scenarios. The brilliant blue anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; anodising creates a dense oxide layer on the aluminium surface that provides substantial corrosion resistance, an important consideration for RC drivers in the UK where humidity and moisture exposure are unavoidable. These caster blocks are precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that the suspension geometry remains true and the steering remains responsive throughout extended driving sessions and between race events.
