Technical Performance
These Traxxas steering block arms represent the pinnacle of carbon fibre performance upgrade design for RC trucks. Constructed from multiple layers of lightweight carbon fibre composite, the arms combine exceptional rigidity with carefully engineered flex characteristics that allow them to absorb impacts and vibration without snapping or cracking. This proprietary composite material has been specifically developed by Traxxas engineers to handle the extreme demands of modern RC bashing and racing, including high-speed cornering, aggressive landings at the skate park, and demanding track conditions. The carbon fibre construction is significantly lighter than conventional plastic or aluminium alternatives, reducing unsprung mass and improving your truck's overall performance dynamics. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a few minutes of assembly time with no filing or modification to your existing steering blocks. The engineering precision ensures consistent performance across multiple uses, and the material maintains its integrity even when exposed to cold weather conditions that can make lesser materials brittle and prone to failure. Whether you're preparing for competitive racing or pushing your RC truck to its limits during high-energy weekend bashing sessions, these steering block arms deliver the reliability and performance enhancement that serious RC drivers demand.
