- Enhanced Durability — Aluminium construction significantly extends component lifespan compared to standard plastic steering arms, making this upgrade particularly valuable if you regularly bash your RC car or participate in organised racing events.
- Direct Compatibility — Specifically designed for Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy RTR and 1/28 Micro-T 2WD RTR Stadium Truck models, ensuring perfect fitment without modification or additional components required.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Steering Set represents a significant upgrade in steering system performance and longevity for Losi's compact scale RC vehicles. The use of aluminium alloy throughout the steering assembly ensures exceptional rigidity and resistance to bending or flexing under load, which can occur with standard plastic components during aggressive driving. This steering upgrade is particularly beneficial for drivers who frequently bash their RC buggies in rough terrain or participate in competitive racing, where steering precision directly impacts lap times and overall vehicle control. The complete steering package arrives ready to install with all necessary rods included, streamlining the upgrade process and ensuring all components work together harmoniously. Fastrax manufacturing standards ensure that each steering arm and rod interface maintains precise tolerances, eliminating the steering slop that can develop in plastic systems over time and potentially compromising handling characteristics during critical driving moments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Steering Set compatible with my RC buggy? — Yes, this steering set is specifically designed for the Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy RTR (available in both Silver and White variants) and the Losi 1/28 Micro-T 2WD RTR Stadium Truck (also available in Silver and White versions). Before purchasing, confirm your exact model matches one of these compatible variants to ensure perfect fitment.
- What advantage does an aluminium steering set offer over the standard plastic components? — Aluminium steering components provide significantly greater rigidity and structural integrity compared to plastic alternatives, eliminating flex and reducing steering response lag. This translates to more precise handling, faster steering correction, and improved durability during both casual bashing and competitive racing. Aluminium also resists bending and warping better than plastic, maintaining consistent performance throughout extended driving sessions.
- Can I install this steering set myself, or do I need professional help? — The Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Steering Set is designed for straightforward installation by RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge. The complete assembly with pre-installed rods simplifies the upgrade process. However, if you're unfamiliar with RC car maintenance and assembly, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is available to provide guidance and support.
- How does this upgrade improve my RC car's performance? — Upgrading to aluminium steering components improves several performance characteristics: steering response becomes crisper and more immediate, reducing lag in your control inputs; handling becomes more predictable and stable, particularly at speed; and the elimination of steering slop provides better feedback and connection between your transmitter and your RC buggy's directional control.
- Will this steering set work with other Losi models? — This steering set is specifically engineered for Losi's compact 1/24 and 1/28 scale vehicles. It is compatible with the Micro-B 2WD Buggy RTR and Micro-T 2WD RTR Stadium Truck. Using it on incompatible models may require modification and could compromise fitment and performance, so verification of compatibility is essential before purchase.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst this is an upgrade component rather than a complete RC car, it serves as an excellent first upgrade for Micro-B and Micro-T owners looking to improve their vehicle's handling without requiring advanced technical knowledge. The straightforward installation and immediate performance improvement make it ideal for hobbyists transitioning from stock components to upgraded systems.
