Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S Sand Car with these premium aluminium caster blocks (c-hubs) from Traxxas, a brand trusted by RC enthusiasts across the UK. These left and right caster blocks represent a significant performance and durability upgrade, crafted from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with eye-catching green anodising that gives your RC sand car a professional, competition-ready appearance. Whether you're an experienced RC racer fine-tuning your setup for maximum performance or a dedicated weekend basher looking to improve your vehicle's handling and longevity, these caster blocks deliver the engineering excellence that Traxxas is renowned for.
The original design of sand car caster blocks has been proven in the field, but these upgraded 6061-T6 aluminium versions take toughness and durability to the next level. Each caster block (c-hub) is carefully machined from a solid block of aluminium, ensuring that the critical steering and suspension geometry is preserved with absolute precision. This meticulous manufacturing process means you get consistent performance and handling characteristics that remain stable even under aggressive driving conditions. The brilliant green anodised finish isn't just about aesthetics—it protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear, ensuring your RC car parts maintain their appearance and structural integrity through countless hours of off-road adventure.
For RC car enthusiasts in the UK looking for genuine Traxxas parts to enhance their sand car performance, these caster blocks represent an excellent investment. They're specifically designed for the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car in any colour variant, making them a perfect drop-in upgrade for your existing setup. The two-tone styling with the signature TRX logo adds authentic high-tech flair that reflects the precision engineering inside.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These caster blocks are machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers an exceptional balance of strength, lightweight performance, and resistance to bending or breaking during aggressive driving, making them far more durable than standard plastic alternatives and ideal for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability from their parts.
- Green Anodised Finish — The vibrant green anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and practical corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and environmental damage whilst adding a striking visual element to your RC sand car that stands out on the track or trail.
- Precision Machined from Solid — Each caster block is carefully machined from a single block of aluminium rather than assembled from multiple pieces, ensuring perfect preservation of critical steering geometry and suspension angles that directly affect your vehicle's handling, turning response, and overall performance characteristics.
- Left and Right Pair Included — This package includes both left and right caster blocks, giving you everything needed to complete a full front suspension upgrade without requiring separate purchases, saving you time and money whilst ensuring matched geometry across your RC vehicle.
- Includes Fastening Hardware — Each set comes with six 3x8mm ball cap screws (BCS) pre-treated with threadlock, eliminating the hassle of sourcing compatible fasteners and ensuring your caster blocks remain securely mounted even during intense driving sessions where vibration would normally loosen standard hardware.
- Authentic TRX Branding — The TRX logo and two-tone styling add genuine Traxxas authenticity to your build, confirming you're using original manufacturer parts rather than third-party alternatives, which translates to better fitment, compatibility, and long-term support.
Technical Performance
The engineering behind these caster blocks reflects Traxxas's commitment to combining lightweight performance with exceptional durability. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is a aerospace-grade material chosen specifically for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and excellent machinability, allowing Traxxas engineers to create components with optimal geometry whilst keeping overall vehicle weight minimal. By machining these blocks from solid material rather than casting them, Traxxas eliminates internal porosity and weak points that could lead to premature failure under the demanding conditions of high-speed sand car racing. The green anodised finish applied to these blocks is not merely cosmetic; anodising creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, UV damage, and the abrasive effects of sand and dirt encountered during typical RC driving. The three 3x8mm ball cap screws supplied with threadlock technology ensure that your caster blocks maintain perfect alignment and geometry throughout extended driving sessions, preventing the creep and misalignment that can occur with standard fasteners under vibration. These caster blocks are engineered to work seamlessly with the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car platform, maintaining the precise suspension geometry that Traxxas designed into the vehicle whilst upgrading durability and impact resistance compared to standard components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these caster blocks compatible with my Traxxas sand car? — Yes, these green-anodised 6061-T6 aluminium caster blocks are specifically designed for the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car. They are compatible with all colour variants of this model (red, blue, orange, and green), and they fit as direct replacements for the original caster blocks.
- What is the advantage of 6061-T6 aluminium over plastic caster blocks? — The 6061-T6 aluminium construction offers dramatically improved durability, strength, and rigidity compared to plastic alternatives. Aluminium caster blocks maintain their precise geometry under stress, resist bending and cracking, and provide better suspension performance and handling characteristics, making them an essential upgrade for serious RC drivers and racers.
- Do these caster blocks require any special installation? — Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or techniques. Simply remove your existing caster blocks and install these replacements using the supplied 3x8mm ball cap screws with threadlock. The threadlock coating means you don't need to apply additional threadlock compound, though you should ensure the screws are tightened securely to maintain alignment.
- Why is the green anodised finish important? — The anodised finish serves two critical purposes: first, it protects the aluminium from corrosion and oxidation caused by exposure to sand, dirt, moisture, and environmental elements encountered during RC driving; second, it gives your vehicle a premium, competition-ready appearance that reflects the high-quality engineering inside.
- How many caster blocks are included in this package? — This package includes one pair of caster blocks (one left and one right), which is everything you need to upgrade the front caster geometry of your sand car. The package also includes six 3x8mm ball cap screws with threadlock, providing all the fastening hardware you need for secure installation.
- Will upgrading to aluminium caster blocks improve my sand car's performance? — Yes, upgrading to these aluminium caster blocks can noticeably improve performance. The superior rigidity of aluminium maintains precise suspension geometry better than plastic, resulting in improved steering response, better handling consistency, and more predictable vehicle behaviour, particularly noticeable during aggressive cornering and high-speed driving.
