Traxxas Extreme Heavy-Duty Steering Blocks Left Right Grey 2WD TRX9137-GRAY

Overview

The Traxxas Steering blocks, extreme heavy duty, Grey (left & right) represent a significant upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts looking to maximise durability and performance in their 2WD Traxxas vehicles. These replacement steering blocks are engineered for those who demand the absolute best in heavy-duty RC components, whether you're bashing at the track, competing in organised RC events, or pushing your machine to its limits on UK terrain. The grey finish provides a sleek, professional appearance that complements modern RC car builds, and the extreme heavy-duty construction ensures these parts can withstand the punishment that comes with aggressive driving.

If you're running a Traxxas Rustler, Stampede, Slash or Bandit, you already know how critical steering geometry is to performance and handling. When factory steering blocks start to wear or you want to upgrade to a more robust setup, these extreme heavy-duty caster blocks deliver the strength you need. They're specifically designed as standard replacements for 9180, 9181, and 9182-series 2WD Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kits, meaning they slot directly into existing upgrade packages without requiring additional modifications. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher, a weekend competitor, or an experienced hobbyist upgrading your setup, these steering blocks are an essential investment in your machine's longevity and reliability.

What makes these steering blocks stand out in the crowded RC car parts market is their beefed-up construction with extra material engineered for even more strength. Built to take a pounding, they're constructed to withstand the high-impact forces generated during aggressive cornering, high-speed manoeuvres, and rough terrain driving. The inclusion of hinge pins and mounting screws means you have everything needed to fit these blocks immediately, making them the complete solution for upgrading your steering geometry on 2WD Traxxas models.

Technical Performance

These extreme heavy-duty steering blocks represent the pinnacle of heavy-duty RC car suspension geometry upgrades. Engineered with extra material density throughout the component, they deliver substantially greater strength compared to standard caster blocks, which translates to reduced flex during cornering, improved steering response, and significantly extended component lifespan. The beefed-up construction allows these blocks to absorb and distribute impact forces more effectively, critical when driving on the rough, varied terrain common throughout the UK, from concrete car parks to grassy fields and everything in between. The inclusion of two 3x26mm hinge pins ensures secure axle articulation with minimal play, whilst the two 3x15mm brass cable screws provide reliable fastening for your steering linkages. These blocks are engineered for 2WD Traxxas vehicles and are specifically designed as standard replacements for the 9180, 9181, and 9182-series 2WD Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kits, making them ideal for those upgrading their complete suspension geometry. The compatibility with both EHD and non-EHD components, along with Traxxas aluminium accessories, means you can mix and match with your existing parts collection. Whether you're building a competition-grade setup or a hardcore basher machine, these steering blocks provide the structural integrity and durability required for consistent performance.
