If you're searching for heavy-duty RC car upgrades online in the UK, or looking to invest in suspension components that will withstand the demands of high-speed racing and bashing, these extreme heavy-duty steering blocks should be at the top of your shopping list. They represent genuine Traxxas engineering and are backed by the reputation of a manufacturer that has dominated the RC hobby for decades.

Key Features

• Extreme Heavy-Duty Construction — These steering blocks are engineered with reinforced geometry specifically designed to withstand the tremendous forces generated during aggressive cornering, high-speed acceleration and impact during bashful RC driving, making them considerably more durable than standard steering components.
• 9080-Series Compatibility — These steering blocks are designed exclusively for use with the Traxxas #9080-series extreme heavy-duty upgrade kit, ensuring perfect integration with the rest of your suspension geometry and maintaining proper steering angles and response characteristics.
• Precision Left and Right Pair — The package includes both left and right steering blocks, allowing you to completely replace your front-end steering geometry and guarantee perfectly balanced suspension performance across your entire vehicle's front end.
• 3x20mm Ball Cup Screw Compatibility — These steering blocks accept standard 3x20mm BCS (ball cup screws), which are widely available replacement fasteners in the RC hobby and provide secure, adjustable steering linkage connection points.
• Blue High-Visibility Finish — The vibrant blue anodised aluminium finish not only looks fantastic on your RC car but also provides excellent corrosion resistance and makes these components easy to identify during maintenance, repair and assembly work.
• Genuine Traxxas Component — As an authentic Traxxas replacement part, you can be confident in the quality control, material specification and engineering integrity that goes into every component produced by this world-renowned RC manufacturer.

Technical Performance

These extreme heavy-duty steering blocks represent a significant step up in suspension durability compared to standard Traxxas components. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium alloy, they feature reinforced internal geometry that distributes steering loads more effectively across the component structure, reducing stress concentration points that would otherwise cause premature failure during hard cornering or high-impact impacts. The engineering philosophy behind these extreme heavy-duty components focuses on maximum strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that your RC car gains durability benefits without experiencing any penalty in overall vehicle weight or handling balance. The 3x20mm ball cup screw mounting points provide solid steering linkage attachment, and the precision manufacturing tolerances ensure that the steering blocks remain perfectly parallel to one another, maintaining proper Ackermann steering geometry even after thousands of bashful driving cycles. When used as part of the complete 9080-series upgrade kit, these steering blocks work in concert with other heavy-duty suspension components to create a front-end assembly capable of withstanding extreme racing demands and the punishment of high-speed off-road driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these steering blocks compatible with my standard Traxxas RC truck? — These steering blocks are designed exclusively for use with the Traxxas #9080-series extreme heavy-duty upgrade kit and will not fit standard suspension parts or other Traxxas models. You must be upgrading a vehicle that is compatible with the 9080-series kit to use these components.
• What makes these steering blocks 'extreme heavy duty' compared to standard parts? — Extreme heavy-duty steering blocks feature reinforced internal geometry and are manufactured from premium-grade aluminium with enhanced thickness and load-bearing capacity, making them significantly more durable under aggressive driving conditions such as high-speed racing, hard cornering and impact-based bashing compared to the standard suspension components supplied with most RC cars.
• Do I need to purchase the complete 9080 upgrade kit to use these steering blocks? — These steering blocks are designed as replacement components for the 9080-series kit, which means you should already own a compatible vehicle and upgrade kit. If you do not currently own the 9080-series kit, you will need to purchase it separately to use these steering blocks correctly.
• What is the difference between the 3x20mm BCS and other ball cup screws? — The 3x20mm designation refers to the diameter and length of the ball cup screw; these are the correct specification for the 9080-series extreme heavy-duty steering blocks. Using incorrect fastener sizes could result in poor steering linkage performance or component failure, so it is important to use the correct specification.
• Can I mix and match these steering blocks with other Traxxas suspension upgrades? — It is strongly recommended to use these steering blocks exclusively as part of the complete 9080-series extreme heavy-duty upgrade kit, as they have been engineered to work in concert with the other components in that kit. Mixing components from different upgrade systems could result in misaligned steering geometry and unpredictable handling characteristics.
• Are these blocks suitable for beginners in the RC hobby? — These steering blocks are replacement components designed for users who already own a vehicle with the 9080-series upgrade kit installed; they are not recommended for complete beginners to the RC hobby who are purchasing their first RC car, as they are meant to enhance durability rather than provide a complete ready-to-run solution.
• How often should I replace these steering blocks? — With proper maintenance and care, these extreme heavy-duty steering blocks should provide many years of reliable performance. They only need replacement if they become damaged through impact or crash, or if you notice any visible cracks, bending or loss of structural integrity during regular maintenance checks.
