Key Features
- Extreme Heavy-Duty Construction — Made from Traxxas's toughest composite material with extra reinforcement, these steering blocks are engineered to absorb shock loads and impacts that would damage standard parts, ensuring your RC truck remains battle-ready after countless bashing sessions.
- Left and Right Pair — This package includes both left and right steering blocks (2 pcs), providing complete front-end steering geometry for your 4WD RC short course truck or similar vehicles.
- Larger Bearing Design — The steering blocks feature larger bearings compared to standard components, delivering ultimate durability and precision in steering response and geometry under extreme driving conditions.
- Compatible with Traxxas Aluminium Accessories — These EHD steering blocks are designed to work not only with extreme heavy-duty upgrade kit components but also with non-EHD parts and Traxxas aluminium accessories, giving you flexibility in your build configuration.
- Standard Replacement for Multiple Kits — These blocks serve as the standard replacement steering components for the 9180, 9181, and 9182-series 2WD Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kits, and are fully compatible with 4WD applications.
- Optimised for Brushless Power — Specifically engineered and tested to handle the extreme torque output of modern brushless motors like the Velineon 540XL, these steering blocks won't flex or fail under high-performance conditions.
- Includes Hardware — Package includes 3x26mm hinge pins (2 pieces) and 3x15mm screws (2 pieces), giving you everything needed for installation, though the main assembly uses 3x20mm BCS fasteners for primary attachment.
- Green Colour Option — The vibrant green finish provides distinctive visual appeal while maintaining the same extreme heavy-duty performance characteristics as other colour variants.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Extreme Heavy-Duty Steering blocks represent a significant engineering advancement over standard steering components. Built from Traxxas's toughest composite material formulation, these parts feature strategically placed extra material in high-stress areas such as the bearing surfaces, hinge pin bosses, and mounting interface points. The larger bearing design integrated into each block eliminates the flex and play that occurs in standard parts under severe driving loads. This is particularly important when running extreme brushless power systems like the Velineon 540XL motor in tight, punishing conditions where conventional steering blocks would experience permanent deformation or catastrophic failure. The 3x20mm BCS fastening system provides robust mechanical connection while the included 3x26mm hinge pins ensure smooth articulation without wear. The engineering philosophy behind these blocks is clear: take everything that works on a standard steering block and make it more robust, more durable, and more capable of handling real-world bashing, racing, and extreme driving conditions. These components are designed to work as part of a complete system with the Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kit, which includes matching driveline, suspension, and axle carrier components that collectively transform your RC truck into a genuine high-performance machine capable of withstanding the demands of brushless electric power and aggressive driving techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC trucks are these steering blocks compatible with? — These extreme heavy-duty steering blocks are designed for use with the Traxxas Slash 4x4, Rustler 4x4, and Hoss 4x4 models when used as part of the Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kit. They serve as the standard replacement steering components for 9080, 9180, 9181, and 9182-series upgrade kits, though they are also compatible with non-EHD parts and Traxxas aluminium accessories, providing flexibility in your build options.
- Are these steering blocks suitable for brushless RC cars and trucks? — Yes, these are specifically engineered for extreme brushless power systems. They are battle-hardened to withstand the brutal punishment and extreme torque output of modern brushless motors like the Velineon 540XL. If you own a brushless RC short course truck in the UK, these heavy-duty steering blocks are an ideal upgrade for long-term durability and performance.
- What's the difference between standard steering blocks and these extreme heavy-duty versions? — Standard Traxxas steering blocks are good general-purpose components, but the Extreme Heavy-Duty versions feature significantly more material in critical stress areas, larger bearings for improved durability and precision, and composite material formulated to be tougher and more resistant to impact. The larger bearing design and reinforced construction allow these blocks to handle extreme brushless power and aggressive bashing without flexing or failing.
- Will these steering blocks work with my current setup without upgrading other components? — While these blocks are compatible with non-EHD parts and standard Traxxas components, Traxxas recommends using them as part of the complete Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kit for optimal performance and durability. The kit includes matching heavy-duty caster blocks, axle carriers, shock towers, and MaxxDuty driveshafts that work together as a complete system. Using only the steering blocks without the full kit may limit the benefits of the upgrade.
- What fasteners and hardware come with these steering blocks? — The package includes 3x26mm hinge pins (2 pieces) and 3x15mm screws (2 pieces) for installation. The primary attachment uses 3x20mm BCS fasteners. All necessary hardware for installation is provided.
- Are these green steering blocks as strong as other colour variants? — Yes, the green colour option features identical extreme heavy-duty construction and performance characteristics as all other Extreme Heavy-Duty Steering block colour variants. The colour is purely aesthetic and does not affect durability, strength, or compatibility.
