Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models do these steering block arms fit? — The TRX9636X steering block arms are specifically designed to fit Traxxas 9537 and 9637 series steering blocks. They are the correct replacement parts for the Sledge 1/8 scale brushless RC monster truck, available in multiple colours including the red, blue, green, and orange variants.
- Do I need any additional parts to install these steering arms? — No, the package includes all four mounting screws needed for installation, so you have everything required for a straightforward replacement. If you're replacing damaged arms, you may need a Phillips head screwdriver, but no additional parts are necessary for the installation process itself.
- What is the difference between aluminium and plastic steering arms? — Aluminium steering arms like the TRX9636X offer significantly superior durability and rigidity compared to plastic alternatives. They resist bending and cracking under heavy loads and impacts, making them ideal for serious RC bashers and competitive drivers who demand reliable performance. The anodised finish provides additional corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the component even in harsh outdoor conditions.
- Are these parts suitable for beginners? — Yes, these replacement steering block arms are suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. They are straightforward to install, requiring only basic tools and a small amount of mechanical knowledge. Beginner RC drivers will appreciate the durability and performance that genuine Traxxas parts provide, whilst experienced bashers and racers rely on them for consistent, predictable handling characteristics.
- Why choose blue-anodised steering arms? — The blue anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; it provides genuine functional benefits including enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard aluminium or plastic components. The finish protects against oxidation and environmental damage, ensuring your steering system maintains its precision and appearance through extended use. Additionally, the vibrant blue colour allows you to personalise your truck and create a cohesive colour scheme that matches or complements your specific Sledge variant.
- How often should I replace my steering block arms? — Under normal use, quality aluminium steering arms last a considerable time. However, if you engage in aggressive bashing, racing, or if your arms have sustained impact damage, cracks, or bending, replacement becomes necessary to maintain proper steering geometry and vehicle handling. Regular inspection during maintenance sessions will help you identify when replacement is needed.
