Technical Performance
The Traxxas extreme heavy duty steering blocks represent a significant engineering advancement in RC suspension components. These parts are constructed from materials specifically chosen for their ability to absorb and withstand repeated impact loads that would damage standard steering blocks. The 3x20mm ball cup screw specification ensures precise alignment and minimal play in the steering geometry, which is critical for maintaining accurate handling and responsiveness during high-speed cornering and aggressive driving manoeuvres. When integrated with the #9080 upgrade kit on compatible Traxxas 4WD models such as the Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4, and Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL, these steering blocks work in concert with other upgrade components to create a suspension system capable of handling extreme driving conditions. The engineering philosophy behind these blocks prioritises durability without sacrificing performance, ensuring that your RC vehicle maintains precise steering response even after extended use on rough terrain or during competitive racing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between extreme heavy duty steering blocks and standard blocks? — Extreme heavy duty steering blocks are engineered with reinforced materials and construction techniques that provide significantly greater impact resistance and durability compared to standard blocks. This means they will withstand hard crashes, aggressive cornering, and sustained bashing much longer than standard components, reducing the need for frequent replacement and keeping your RC car UK ready for action.
- Will these steering blocks fit my Traxxas 4WD model? — These extreme heavy duty steering blocks are compatible exclusively with models using the #9080 upgrade kit, including the Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4, and Ultimate Slash 4X4 VXL. They will not fit standard suspension configurations, so verify your vehicle uses the #9080 kit before ordering.
- What are the 3x20mm BCS screws and why do they matter? — BCS refers to ball cup screws, which are specialised fasteners that work with ball cups on suspension components to allow controlled movement whilst maintaining structural integrity. The 3x20mm specification means these screws are 3mm in diameter and 20mm in length, and they ensure your steering blocks connect securely to the rest of your suspension system with minimal play.
- Can I use these blocks as a direct replacement without other modifications? — Yes, these extreme heavy duty steering blocks serve as direct replacements for worn or damaged steering blocks on compatible vehicles, requiring no additional modifications to your RC model when used with the #9080 upgrade kit.
- Why would I need extreme heavy duty steering blocks instead of standard ones? — If you regularly engage in high-impact driving, competitive racing, or aggressive bashing sessions, extreme heavy duty steering blocks are a worthwhile investment because they dramatically reduce breakage rates and extend the time between repairs, keeping your RC car running longer between maintenance intervals.
- Are these blocks suitable for beginners? — Whilst beginners can certainly use these blocks, they are primarily designed for intermediate to advanced RC drivers who push their vehicles hard and require maximum durability. Beginners may find standard blocks adequate unless they anticipate intensive driving from the outset.
- What colour options are available? — These extreme heavy duty steering blocks are available in orange, red, and grey colour options, allowing you to match or contrast with your vehicle's aesthetic preferences whilst maintaining the same level of performance and durability across all colour variants.
