Key Features
- Brass Construction — These steering blocks are manufactured from high-quality brass rather than plastic, providing exceptional durability, superior wear resistance and the ability to maintain precise tolerances over thousands of operating hours. Brass is the material of choice for serious RC upgraders because it simply outlasts plastic alternatives by a substantial margin.
- 80 Grams Per Pair — The precisely-calculated weight of these components adds crucial ballast to your vehicle's front axle, improving weight distribution, increasing traction in low-grip terrain, and enhancing overall stability during technical climbing and cornering manoeuvres. This weight placement is engineered to maximise performance without creating handling imbalances.
- Element RC Enduro Compatibility — These steering blocks are purpose-built for the Element RC Enduro range of vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance integration with your existing components. Compatibility covers multiple Enduro models including the Ecto Trail Truck, Trailwalker, and Sendero variants in various RTR configurations.
- Precision Engineering — Fastrax manufacturing standards ensure that every set of steering blocks maintains tight tolerances, delivering smooth operation and reliable performance that never degrades even under extreme trail conditions. The consistency of Fastrax components is recognised throughout the European RC community.
- Direct Replacement Design — These steering blocks are designed as a straightforward upgrade from stock components, requiring no modifications to your vehicle and no additional specialist knowledge to install. Any RC enthusiast with basic mechanical understanding can fit these parts in minutes.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Element Enduro Brass Steering Blocks represent a significant step up in steering system quality and durability. By replacing standard plastic steering blocks with brass components, you're investing in parts that will maintain their precision and performance characteristics far longer than plastic alternatives. The 80-gram weight per pair is specifically calculated to optimise the weight distribution of your Element RC Enduro vehicle, improving traction when climbing technical terrain and enhancing stability during fast cornering. Brass construction provides superior resistance to impact damage and micro-fractures that typically develop in plastic components over extended use. The material's inherent strength means these steering blocks can absorb vibration and shock loads that would damage plastic equivalents, making them an essential upgrade for anyone regularly pushing their RC crawler to its limits. The engineering excellence evident in these components reflects Fastrax's reputation for producing upgrade parts that deliver measurable performance improvements rather than simply adding unnecessary expense. For UK RC enthusiasts who understand that quality components pay dividends in reliability and performance, these brass steering blocks represent outstanding value for money and a guaranteed improvement over stock plastic parts.
