Overview

The Traxxas Steering Block Arms (aluminium, blue-anodised) represent a premium upgrade and replacement component for your Sledge 1/8 scale RC monster truck. These high-quality steering blocks are engineered to deliver additional structural strength and durability to your vehicle's steering system, making them an essential part for anyone serious about maintaining their RC truck in peak condition. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to upgrade your Sledge, a weekend basher pushing your truck to its limits, or someone who simply wants to ensure their RC car UK investment stays in top shape, these steering block arms offer the reliability and performance you need.

Manufactured by Traxxas, a globally recognised leader in RC vehicle innovation, these steering blocks combine precision engineering with premium materials to ensure your vehicle's steering geometry remains perfect, even under demanding conditions. The bright blue anodised finish not only looks fantastic but also provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring these components will maintain their appearance and functionality through countless hours of RC driving. As an accessory part specifically designed for the Traxxas Sledge monster truck, you can be confident these steering blocks will fit perfectly and perform exactly as Traxxas intended.

If you own a Sledge or are considering purchasing one of these impressive 1/8 scale brushless RC monster trucks, keeping spare steering block arms on hand is a smart move. Like any hard-working RC component, steering blocks can wear or be damaged during intense off-road driving, and having genuine Traxxas replacement parts ready means you'll never be left unable to use your truck. This is a genuine Traxxas part, engineered to the same exacting standards as the original equipment that comes with your Sledge.

Key Features

• Aluminium Construction — These steering block arms are manufactured from aluminium, which provides an excellent balance between weight savings and structural rigidity. Aluminium steering blocks resist bending and maintain their geometry better than plastic alternatives, which is critical for maintaining accurate steering response in your RC truck.
• Blue-Anodised Finish — The bright blue anodised coating isn't just for aesthetics; anodising creates a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion and oxidation, ensuring these components look great and function reliably season after season, even when exposed to moisture and the elements during outdoor RC driving.
• Left and Right Steering Blocks — This package includes both left and right steering block arms, so you have a complete matched pair ready to install. Both sides are included in one convenient package, eliminating the need to purchase multiple items.
• 3mm Screw and Locknut Assembly — The steering block arms securely hold the turnbuckles in place using robust 3mm screws and locknuts. This secure fastening method ensures your steering linkage remains stable and won't slip or rotate under the stress of hard driving, maintaining consistent steering response.
• Complete Hardware Included — Every package includes two 3x18mm screws and two locknuts, giving you all the fasteners needed for a complete installation without needing to source additional parts.
• Genuine Traxxas Component — As an authentic Traxxas part, you're getting components engineered to the highest standards and guaranteed to be compatible with your Sledge.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Steering Block Arms represent the pinnacle of steering component engineering for the 1/8 scale RC monster truck category. Constructed from quality aluminium rather than plastic, these steering blocks offer superior rigidity and durability compared to stock plastic alternatives, which is essential when you're running a high-powered brushless RC truck like the Sledge. The aluminium material resists flexing and maintains precise steering geometry even during aggressive driving, cornering, and jumps that would cause plastic components to warp or bend. The bright blue anodised finish provides not only a premium appearance but also practical corrosion resistance that keeps these components looking and performing like new. The 3mm screw and locknut fastening system is engineered for reliability, ensuring the turnbuckles remain secure and the steering linkage maintains perfect alignment through countless hours of driving. At this scale, steering precision is absolutely critical to vehicle performance, and these aluminium steering blocks deliver the structural integrity needed to maintain that precision in competition, hobby driving, or casual bashing scenarios. Whether you're running your Sledge on dirt, gravel, grass, or more challenging terrain, these steering blocks will maintain their shape and performance characteristics, giving you the confidence to push your RC truck to its limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas Sledge models are these steering blocks compatible with? — These steering blocks are designed specifically for the Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale 4WD brushless electric monster truck range. They are compatible with all colour variants including the blue, orange, green, and red Sledge models. Check your vehicle's model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• Are these steering blocks an improvement over stock plastic steering blocks? — Yes, significantly. The aluminium construction of these steering block arms provides superior strength and rigidity compared to plastic blocks, better resists flexing and warping under hard driving, and maintains steering geometry more precisely. The anodised finish also provides corrosion protection that plastic cannot offer, making these an excellent upgrade.
• Do I need any tools to install these steering blocks? — You'll need basic RC tools including a screwdriver to install these steering blocks. The 3mm screws and locknuts are included in the package, so you just need the tools to fasten them in place during installation.
• Can I use these steering blocks on other Traxxas models? — No, these steering blocks are engineered specifically for the Sledge platform. Using them on other Traxxas models would not fit correctly and could compromise steering performance. Always use parts designed specifically for your vehicle model.
• How often should I replace my steering block arms? — With proper maintenance and normal recreational use, quality aluminium steering blocks like these should last hundreds of driving hours. However, if you notice any bending, cracking, or excessive wear, or if you regularly compete, having spare parts on hand is a sensible precaution.
• Why would I need replacement steering blocks if my current ones work fine? — Keeping spare steering blocks on hand is excellent preventative maintenance. Steering blocks can be damaged through hard crashes or wear through intensive use, and having genuine Traxxas replacements ready means you can quickly restore your truck to perfect condition rather than waiting for parts to arrive.
