Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These steering blocks are machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most trusted aerospace-grade materials in RC racing and high-performance applications. This specific aluminium alloy offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, meaning your steering geometry benefits from durability without the penalty of excessive mass that could negatively affect suspension geometry and handling.
• Brilliant Anodised Red Finish — The red-anodised finish provides far more than visual appeal; anodising creates a hard oxide layer that protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion, extending component lifespan significantly. This protective coating is especially valuable if you operate your RC car in wet conditions or challenging terrain where moisture exposure is inevitable.
• Left and Right Pair Included — This package includes both left and right steering blocks, meaning you receive a complete set that maintains perfect symmetry and balance across your vehicle's front end. Having matched pairs ensures consistent steering response on both sides of your RC vehicle.
• Razor-Sharp Steering Accuracy — Carefully machined from solid material, these steering blocks preserve precise steering and suspension geometry, delivering responsive handling that translates driver inputs into immediate, predictable vehicle behaviour. This translates to better control during high-speed runs, technical manoeuvres, and competitive racing scenarios.
• Included Hardware Package — The steering blocks come complete with 3x8mm ball cup screws (with threadlock) in a pair and 4x35mm ball cup screws (with threadlock) in a pair. The inclusion of threadlock compound on all fasteners means your steering geometry remains stable and secure throughout extended driving sessions, eliminating the risk of fasteners working loose and compromising steering precision.
• Pro Scale Sand Car Compatibility — These steering blocks are specifically engineered for Traxxas Pro Scale Sand Car platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance when integrated with your existing suspension and chassis components. This targeted design approach means you get components optimised specifically for your vehicle's geometry and requirements.

Technical Performance

The engineering excellence incorporated into these Traxxas steering blocks reflects the brand's commitment to delivering professional-grade RC performance components. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium—the same material specification used in aerospace applications—these blocks deliver exceptional stiffness and strength whilst maintaining lightweight characteristics essential for optimal suspension geometry and handling response. The solid machining process used in their manufacture preserves critical steering angles and ensures that suspension geometry remains true across countless operating hours and through demanding driving conditions. The anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic; the oxide layer created through the anodising process significantly enhances wear resistance and corrosion protection, making these components suitable for use in challenging environments including sand, mud, water, and salt-laden air. The included hardware—specifically the 3x8mm and 4x35mm ball cup screws fitted with threadlock compound—ensures that your steering geometry remains locked in position without risk of fasteners vibrating loose during aggressive driving. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK seeking to upgrade their suspension components with proven, durable parts that deliver measurable improvements in steering response and long-term reliability, these steering blocks represent an excellent investment in performance and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these steering blocks suitable for upgrading my existing RC sand car? — Yes, if your vehicle is a Traxxas Pro Scale Sand Car platform, these steering blocks are purpose-engineered as genuine Traxxas replacement and upgrade parts that will improve steering precision and durability compared to standard components. They represent one of the most effective suspension upgrades available for this platform.
• What is the advantage of upgrading to aluminium steering blocks over standard plastic alternatives? — Aluminium steering blocks offer dramatically superior durability, stiffness, and corrosion resistance compared to plastic components. The 6061-T6 aluminium used here provides precision-machined geometry that maintains steering accuracy over extended periods, whilst the anodised finish protects against wear and environmental damage. For serious RC enthusiasts, aluminium upgrades represent the difference between components that remain reliable for years and plastic parts that wear and degrade over time.
• Will these steering blocks fit other Traxxas vehicles? — These steering blocks are specifically designed for Traxxas Pro Scale Sand Car platforms. They will not fit standard suspension components or vehicles with different suspension geometry. Ensure your vehicle is compatible before purchasing. Consult your vehicle manual or contact Traxxas support if you're uncertain about compatibility.
• What does anodised finish mean and why is it important? — Anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a hard oxide layer on the surface of aluminium, dramatically improving corrosion resistance and wear characteristics. This finish is particularly valuable if you operate your RC vehicle in wet conditions, muddy terrain, or sandy environments where moisture and abrasive particles could otherwise cause corrosion and premature wear.
• Do I need any additional tools or parts to install these steering blocks? — Installation will require basic RC tools including hex wrenches or ball drivers appropriate for the 3x8mm and 4x35mm ball cup screws included. You should have standard RC car maintenance tools available. The included threadlock compound on all fasteners means you won't need to purchase additional threadlock compound separately.
• How do steering blocks affect my RC car's handling characteristics? — Steering blocks are critical chassis components that directly determine your vehicle's steering geometry and response. Upgrading to precision-machined aluminium blocks like these improves steering accuracy, reduces deflection during cornering and acceleration, and ensures that your steering inputs translate into predictable, responsive vehicle behaviour. For competitive racers and serious RC enthusiasts, this translates into measurably improved lap times and driving confidence.
