Technical Performance
These Traxxas caster blocks represent cutting-edge suspension component engineering designed to elevate the performance and durability of your RC car. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, these components offer significantly superior strength compared to plastic alternatives, whilst remaining lightweight enough not to negatively impact your vehicle's performance or battery runtime. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy is specifically chosen within the RC industry for its exceptional combination of machinability, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity under the demanding conditions of RC racing and bashing. The precision machining process ensures that critical suspension geometry angles are maintained to exact specifications, which directly translates to improved steering response, more predictable handling characteristics, and better overall control of your vehicle at speed. The orange anodised finish provides a protective hard-coat layer that resists scuffing, scratching, and corrosion from exposure to moisture, dirt, and salt environments. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK building a high-performance RC car or upgrading their existing vehicle's suspension geometry, these caster blocks deliver measurable improvements in handling precision and long-term durability. The inclusion of six 3x8mm BCS screws with threadlock ensures secure fastening without risk of loosening during aggressive driving, which is essential for maintaining suspension geometry consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a caster block and why would I need to upgrade to aluminium? — A caster block, also called a c-hub, is a critical suspension component that connects your steering servo and steering linkage to your front axle whilst supporting the suspension geometry angles. Upgrading to aluminium caster blocks from plastic originals provides substantially improved durability, better resistance to damage from crashes and impacts, improved steering precision through superior material rigidity, and enhanced aesthetic appearance with the premium anodised finish that's synonymous with high-quality RC builds.
- Will these caster blocks fit my RC vehicle? — These caster blocks are designed for X-Series™ Traxxas vehicles. To confirm compatibility with your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop who can verify that these parts will work with your particular RC car setup.
- Do I need any special tools to install these caster blocks? — Installation typically requires standard RC tool sets including hex drivers and screwdrivers. The included 3x8mm BCS screws with threadlock simplify the installation process by providing pre-treated fasteners that resist loosening from vibration and shock.
- What makes the orange-anodised finish special? — The anodised finish is a hard-coat process that not only delivers the vibrant orange colour and contrasting laser-etched TRX logo but also creates a protective layer that resists corrosion, scratching, and UV fading, making these components look professional and maintain their appearance through months of regular use.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, this is an officially licensed Traxxas component, part number TRX10932-ORNG, manufactured to Traxxas's exacting quality standards and precision specifications. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you receive authentic, genuine Traxxas components with full warranty support.
- Will upgrading to aluminium caster blocks improve my handling? — Yes, aluminium caster blocks provide measurable improvements in handling precision compared to plastic alternatives. The superior rigidity of aluminium means less flex in the suspension geometry during cornering and acceleration, which translates to more predictable steering response, better traction, and improved overall control of your RC vehicle, particularly noticeable during high-speed driving or competitive racing.
