The TRX9537 steering blocks are engineered to withstand the demanding conditions that come with 1:8 scale RC monster truck operation. These genuine Traxxas spare parts ensure compatibility with your Sledge and maintain the factory-standard geometry and performance characteristics that make the Sledge one of the most capable brushless RC monster trucks available in the UK market today.

Available now from RC Model Shop, these suspension spares come as a left and right pair, giving you everything needed to restore or upgrade your front-end geometry.

Technical Performance
Steering blocks form a critical part of any 1:8 scale RC monster truck's front suspension system, and the TRX9537 components are engineered to handle the substantial forces generated during high-performance driving. The Traxxas Sledge Belted is a serious piece of engineering designed for speed and durability, capable of impressive acceleration and top-end velocity thanks to its brushless motor system and advanced suspension geometry. The steering blocks work in conjunction with your servo, tie rods, and suspension arms to translate steering input into precise directional changes, making them fundamental to how your RC model responds to control inputs. Built to withstand the repeated impacts, jumps, and aggressive cornering that characterises 1:8 scale RC monster truck operation, these components are manufactured from quality materials selected for their strength and durability under load. The M4x0.7 fastener specification ensures rigid connection points that won't slip or loosen during competition-level driving sessions. For UK-based RC enthusiasts running a Sledge in stock form or with upgraded suspension components, having genuine Traxxas replacement steering blocks on hand ensures you can quickly restore your RC car to factory specifications or maintain consistency across multiple vehicles.

- Why would I need replacement steering blocks? — Steering blocks can crack or break when your RC monster truck lands hard from jumps, experiences high-speed collisions, or undergoes sustained aggressive driving. Having replacement steering blocks available means you can quickly repair your Sledge and get back to driving rather than waiting for spare parts to arrive.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX9537 is a genuine Traxxas spare part manufactured to the exact specifications used in factory Sledge assembly.

- What is the difference between the left and right steering blocks? — The left and right blocks are mirror images of each other, designed to mount on their respective sides of the front axle assembly.

- Can these steering blocks be upgraded or replaced with aluminium alternatives? — Traxxas does offer upgraded aluminium steering blocks for the Sledge 6S models, which feature 6061-T6 anodised aluminium construction in various colours.

- How often should steering blocks be inspected? — Regular inspection of your steering blocks is recommended, particularly if you drive your Sledge intensively or frequently land big jumps.
