Technical Performance
These aluminium steering block arms represent a meaningful upgrade path for anyone looking to improve the durability and steering precision of their Traxxas RC vehicle. The switch from plastic or nylon composite steering blocks to aluminium construction provides tangible benefits in real-world bashing and racing conditions. Aluminium delivers superior rigidity compared to composite materials, meaning less flex during aggressive steering inputs, sharper turn-in response, and more consistent steering geometry through the vehicle's range of motion. The Dark Titanium anodising is a hard-anodised surface treatment that provides excellent protection against corrosion, abrasion and UV damage—essential when your RC car is exposed to dirt, moisture, grass and varied outdoor conditions across the UK. The 3mm screw fastening system with locknut design provides secure, tool-adjustable connection points for the steering linkages, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's toe-in, camber and overall steering geometry as you develop your setup. These arms represent Phase 2 of the comprehensive Traxxas upgrade programme, sitting perfectly between Phase 1 Heavy-Duty suspension arm upgrades and Phase 3 brushless power upgrades, allowing you to build your vehicle's capabilities progressively.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these steering block arms fit my Traxxas Slash or other 2WD models? — Yes, these arms are designed to fit Traxxas 9537 and 9637 series steering blocks, which are used on various Traxxas 2WD models including the Slash. Check your vehicle's documentation to confirm your steering block model number before purchasing.
- What is the difference between these aluminium arms and the standard plastic steering blocks? — The aluminium construction provides superior rigidity and strength compared to plastic or nylon composite materials, resulting in less flex during steering inputs, more precise steering response, and improved durability during aggressive driving. The anodised finish also provides better corrosion and abrasion resistance, making these parts more durable in outdoor and muddy conditions.
- Are these arms waterproof? — Aluminium itself is naturally resistant to corrosion, and the Dark Titanium anodised coating provides additional protection against water damage and rust. However, the arms themselves are not sealed assemblies and should be maintained like any aluminium RC part—rinse with fresh water after muddy or wet running sessions and dry thoroughly.
- Can I install these arms myself? — Yes, these are direct replacement parts that use the same 3mm screw fastening system as the original steering blocks. Installation requires only basic RC tools such as hex drivers and screwdrivers. A Traxxas 8712 tool kit is recommended for professional-quality maintenance and upgrades.
- Will these parts improve my vehicle's handling? — Yes, upgrading to aluminium steering block arms can improve steering precision and responsiveness by reducing flex and deflection in the steering linkages. Combined with other suspension upgrades like Heavy-Duty arms and upgraded servo units, these arms form part of a comprehensive suspension upgrade package that noticeably improves handling.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas factory option parts manufactured to the same quality standards as the rest of the Traxxas product range.
