Overview
The Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Caster Blocks (C-Hubs) in green represent a premium suspension upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to enhance their Traxxas 4WD vehicles. These heavy-duty replacement parts are engineered to deliver maximum strength and durability, making them an essential upgrade for anyone running an aggressive driving style or competing in challenging terrain. Whether you're bashing through rough ground, tackling jumps, or pushing your RC car to its limits, these caster blocks are built to withstand the punishment that standard suspension components simply cannot endure. If you own a Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4, Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL, or Slash 4X4, these parts are specifically designed to transform your vehicle's front-end durability and reliability.
The green colour variant adds visual appeal to your RC setup whilst delivering the same exceptional engineering as the rest of the Traxxas range. As a trusted UK RC car retailer, we understand that upgrading to extreme heavy duty components is a smart investment for anyone serious about RC performance. These caster blocks are part of the proven Traxxas ecosystem, engineered with the same attention to detail and quality control that makes Traxxas the preferred choice for RC drivers across the United Kingdom. The extreme heavy duty designation means these parts feature beefed-up construction with extra material strategically placed to maximise strength without compromising handling characteristics.
Compatible with the #9080 upgrade kit, these caster blocks also work seamlessly with non-EHD parts and Traxxas aluminium accessories, giving you flexibility in how you build and customise your suspension setup. This makes them an intelligent choice whether you're planning a complete suspension overhaul or simply strengthening the most critical stress points on your vehicle.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Caster Blocks represent a significant step up in front-end suspension durability compared to standard parts. Built with extra material strategically placed throughout their structure, these blocks absorb and distribute impact forces more effectively, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure during aggressive driving or high-impact landings. The engineering philosophy behind extreme heavy duty components focuses on maximising strength without adding unnecessary weight that would compromise handling or battery runtime. Included with the left and right caster blocks are two 3x32mm hinge pins, which are the critical pivot points for your suspension geometry, and two 3x20mm ball cup screws (BCS) that secure the lower suspension links. These specifications ensure proper articulation and responsiveness whilst maintaining the structural integrity that heavy duty construction demands. The blocks are precision-manufactured to maintain exact tolerances, ensuring that when installed on your Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4, Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL, or Slash 4X4, the suspension geometry remains optimised for balanced handling across all driving conditions. Whether you're running on tarmac, loose surfaces, grass, or rough terrain, these caster blocks provide the foundation for reliable, predictable suspension performance.
