Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Milled from a solid block of high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these caster blocks deliver superior strength and precision where it matters most on your RC truck, providing rigidity that plastic alternatives simply cannot match.

Technical Performance
These Traxxas Caster Blocks represent a significant upgrade in chassis dynamics for your X-Maxx or XRT RC truck. The decision to machine these components from solid 6061-T6 aluminium rather than injection-moulded plastic reflects Traxxas's commitment to performance-grade spare parts. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is widely recognised in engineering applications for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability – making it the ideal material for high-stress suspension components that experience constant loading during aggressive RC driving. The billet construction process ensures uniform material density throughout the component, eliminating weak points that often develop in plastic parts under stress. The anodised finish applied during manufacturing creates a thin, hard ceramic layer on the surface that not only provides the striking orange colour but also significantly improves wear resistance and corrosion protection – crucial for UK RC enthusiasts who battle wet conditions and muddy terrain. These C-hubs will improve your truck's handling precision, reduce flex under load, and provide the foundation for more responsive steering and better overall control dynamics. Whether you're upgrading your truck for casual bashing or competitive racing, the engineering quality embedded in these components will deliver noticeable performance improvements.
