Overview
The HoBao HYPER TT2.0 CNC Aluminium Front Steering Block Set (HOP1-0077) is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for the HoBao TT2.0 Pro Truggy Truck platform. This high-quality replacement steering block assembly is precision-manufactured from CNC-machined aluminium, offering serious performance improvements over stock components. Whether you're a dedicated truggy enthusiast looking to enhance your RC car UK setup or a competitor seeking to gain a mechanical advantage on the track, this steering block set delivers the durability and precision engineering that serious RC drivers demand.
Steering blocks are critical components in any RC truggy or truck chassis, as they directly affect handling responsiveness, steering accuracy, and overall ride quality. By upgrading to this CNC aluminium alternative, you'll benefit from reduced flex, improved steering geometry consistency, and enhanced longevity compared to plastic stock parts. The aluminium construction provides superior strength and rigidity whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for responsive handling in high-speed running conditions.
Compatible with the HB-TT2E platform and its various body variants, this steering block set is an ideal tune-up option for anyone looking to optimise their Hobao TT2.0 Pro Truggy Truck performance. Whether you operate a ready to run RC vehicle or maintain a more extensively modified setup, this component upgrade will help you achieve more consistent steering feel and improved durability through countless running sessions.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined Aluminium Construction — The steering blocks are precision-engineered using CNC machining, ensuring perfect tolerances and consistency across the entire set. This manufacturing process produces parts with superior dimensional accuracy compared to injection-moulded plastic alternatives, leading to more predictable steering response and reduced slop in the front end geometry.
- Premium Material Quality — Constructed from high-grade aluminium alloy, these steering blocks offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium naturally resists corrosion and provides excellent durability during outdoor RC sessions, whether you're running in damp UK conditions or dry summer weather, maintaining structural integrity through extended use.
- Optimised Steering Geometry — Replacing worn or flex-prone stock steering blocks with this precision-manufactured set restores and maintains optimal steering geometry. This directly translates to improved handling responsiveness, more accurate directional control, and better overall drivability across various terrain conditions.
- Direct Compatibility — Engineered as a direct fit replacement for the HoBao TT2.0 Pro Truggy Truck platform, this steering block set requires no modification or additional components for installation. This compatibility extends across all body variants of the HB-TT2E, including the clear body ARTR version and the silver and blue RTR variants.
- Reduced Flex and Play — The rigid aluminium structure minimises unwanted flex and movement in the front steering assembly. Unlike plastic components that can develop play over time and under load, these aluminium blocks maintain their precise geometry, ensuring consistent steering feel lap after lap and session after session.
- Ideal Upgrade Path — This steering block set represents an essential tune-up option for any TT2.0 owner looking to enhance their vehicle without committing to a complete chassis rebuild. It's an accessible upgrade that delivers measurable improvements in steering precision and overall handling characteristics.
Technical Performance
The HoBao HYPER TT2.0 CNC Aluminium Front Steering Block Set represents a significant performance upgrade over factory-standard components. The precision CNC-machining process ensures that every steering block meets exact specifications and tolerances, eliminating the manufacturing variations often found in injection-moulded plastic parts. Aluminium's inherent rigidity means the steering assembly maintains geometric consistency even under the dynamic stresses of high-speed cornering and aggressive acceleration typical of truggy-class RC vehicles. The material choice directly impacts handling characteristics—where plastic components flex and develop play under load, causing vague or inconsistent steering inputs, the aluminium construction maintains crisp, responsive steering feel throughout extended running sessions. This performance benefit becomes especially noticeable during competitive driving or when navigating technical terrain where precise steering control separates competitive runs from mistakes. The durability advantages are equally compelling: whilst plastic steering blocks can crack, strip, or develop permanent deformation after impacts or extended use, aluminium withstands the rigours of frequent RC operation with minimal wear. For owners of the HB-TT2E, HB-TT2E-C60SV, and HB-TT2E-C60BU variants, this upgrade delivers a noticeable improvement in day-to-day driving experience and extends the service life of the steering assembly by several seasons of regular operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which HoBao TT2.0 models are compatible with this steering block set? — This steering block set fits the HB-TT2E HoBao TT2.0 Pro Truggy Truck ARTR with clear body, the HB-TT2E-C60SV RTR variant with silver body, and the HB-TT2E-C60BU RTR variant with blue body. If you own any version of the TT2.0 Pro platform, this is the correct replacement and upgrade component.
- How difficult is it to install these steering blocks? — Installation is straightforward and suitable for RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge. The steering block set is a direct replacement component, meaning no special modifications or additional parts are required. Most users can complete the swap in 20-30 minutes using standard hex drivers and basic hand tools commonly found in any RC toolkit.
- What advantages does aluminium offer over the standard plastic steering blocks? — Aluminium provides superior rigidity, eliminating the flex and play that develops in plastic components over time. This results in more responsive and consistent steering feel, improved handling precision, and significantly extended component lifespan. Aluminium also resists permanent deformation from impacts and maintains its geometric accuracy through thousands of driving cycles.
- Will upgrading to these steering blocks improve my lap times? — Yes, many RC drivers report measurable improvements in steering precision and overall control after upgrading to aluminium steering blocks. The reduced play and improved geometry consistency allow for more accurate driving inputs and faster cornering speeds, particularly beneficial during competitive running or technical track navigation.
- Are these steering blocks suitable for all driving styles? — Absolutely. Whether you're a casual basher enjoying weekend RC sessions, a competitive racer pursuing lap time improvements, or someone who runs their TT2.0 in multiple disciplines, this steering block upgrade delivers benefits across all driving contexts. The improved durability is especially valuable for high-volume running.
- How do these compare to other aftermarket steering blocks available for RC trucks and truggies? — HoBao's CNC-manufactured steering blocks represent premium-quality components engineered specifically for the TT2.0 platform. The precision manufacturing, material quality, and direct compatibility ensure better performance and longevity compared to generic aluminium blocks designed for other chassis types.
