Overview
The Traxxas Caster Blocks (C-Hubs), Left & Right in Black are essential replacement chassis spares for your Traxxas mini RC car. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running a Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S, Mini Rally VXL, Mini Slash BL-2S, or Mini XRT VXL-3S, these genuine OEM caster blocks are crucial components that keep your RC vehicle running smoothly on the track or trail. As a UK RC retailer, we understand that bashers and racers alike need reliable replacement parts to maintain peak performance, and these Traxxas caster blocks deliver exactly that.
Caster blocks, also known as c-hubs, are the suspension components that connect your RC car's steering linkage to the front axles. They play a vital role in determining your vehicle's handling characteristics, steering response, and overall stability during cornering. When these parts wear out or sustain damage from aggressive driving or crashes, replacing them with genuine Traxxas components ensures your RC vehicle maintains its factory-designed geometry and performance characteristics. These left and right caster blocks are manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards, guaranteeing compatibility and durability across a wide range of popular mini RC models.
Available in sleek black, these replacement caster blocks are an affordable way to keep your RC car UK ready to run at its best. Whether you're competing in RC racing events or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, having spare chassis components on hand is essential for minimising downtime and maximising track time. RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas spares and tune-ups, so you can shop with confidence knowing you're investing in authentic, factory-approved parts that will maintain your vehicle's performance and reliability.

Technical Performance
Caster blocks serve as the critical link between your RC car's steering mechanism and front axle assembly, and their condition directly impacts handling precision, steering response time and overall vehicle stability. Traxxas engineers these components using durable materials selected for their ability to withstand repeated compression, tension and twisting forces encountered during cornering, acceleration and braking manoeuvres. The geometry of caster blocks determines important factors including caster angle (which affects steering return-to-centre and stability), camber angle (which influences tyre contact patch and wear characteristics), and kingpin angle (which affects steering effort and turning radius). Over time, regular use, aggressive impacts with track obstacles, and high-speed cornering can cause caster blocks to develop play in their mounting points, crack under stress, or wear in ways that gradually degrade handling precision. By replacing worn caster blocks with these genuine Traxxas parts, you restore your mini RC car to its factory-specified geometry, ensuring consistent steering response and predictable handling characteristics whether you're competing in time trials or enjoying recreational bashing. These components are compatible across the entire Traxxas mini platform including the Mini Maxx BL-2S (available in green, blue, black and orange), Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 (red, blue, grey and standard variants), Mini Slash BL-2S 4x4 (pink, green, yellow and orange), and Mini XRT VXL-3S (green, orange, red and blue), demonstrating Traxxas's consistent engineering approach across this popular product line.
