Technical Performance

These Traxxas steering blocks represent the pinnacle of precision engineering in the RC hobby market, manufactured to exacting standards from solid 6061-T6 aluminium. The 6061-T6 grade is specifically chosen for its excellent machinability, strength characteristics, and ability to hold tight tolerances—essential properties for steering components that must maintain precise alignment and response regardless of driving conditions. The grey-anodised finish provides corrosion resistance and durability, protecting the aluminium from the elements while maintaining the sleek appearance expected in premium RC components. The precision machining ensures that each block maintains exact dimensional consistency, which directly translates to predictable steering response and improved handling characteristics across all driving situations. Whether you're tackling technical courses, high-speed runs, or rock crawling with your RC vehicle, these steering blocks provide the unwavering accuracy and strength required for confident vehicle control. The included 3x18mm screws with threadlock prevent fastener loosening during operation, a critical feature for maintaining steering integrity during competitive or recreational driving. Compatible with the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck and the Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck, these blocks represent a direct upgrade path for UK RC car enthusiasts looking to improve their vehicles' steering precision and component longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these steering blocks compatible with my Traxxas RC model? — These grey-anodised steering blocks are designed as replacement parts for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck (available in Rock N Roll, Blue, Red, and Green variants) and the Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck (available in Rock N Roll, Green, and Red variants). If you own one of these models, these steering blocks are a direct fit upgrade that will significantly improve your steering precision and durability.
• What makes 6061-T6 aluminium the right choice for steering blocks? — 6061-T6 aluminium offers the ideal balance of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance for steering components. The T6 heat treatment ensures the aluminium reaches optimal hardness and strength while maintaining the ability to be precisely machined to tight tolerances. This means your steering blocks will maintain exact dimensions and alignment, directly improving your RC vehicle's handling characteristics and steering response.
• Can I change the colour of these steering blocks? — While these blocks come in a professional grey-anodised finish, the replaceable steering arms can be swapped for 9636-series aluminium arms in alternative colours, allowing you to customise your RC build's appearance without replacing the entire steering block assembly. This modular design philosophy is a hallmark of Traxxas engineering.
• Why should I upgrade from standard steering blocks to these aluminium versions? — Upgrading to premium 6061-T6 aluminium steering blocks delivers several tangible benefits: superior precision steering that translates to more predictable handling, dramatically increased durability that extends the lifespan of your steering components, better impact resistance during aggressive driving or crashes, and the professional aesthetic that comes with precision-machined aluminium parts. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliable performance, this upgrade is a worthwhile investment.
• What hardware is included, and why is threadlock important? — These steering blocks come with multiple screw sizes (3x10mm, 4x16mm, and 3x18mm) and locknuts, with the 3x18mm screws featuring threadlock. The threadlock coating prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration and impact during RC driving, a critical feature for maintaining steering system integrity during competitive or recreational use.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — These steering blocks are primarily an upgrade component rather than a beginner product. They're ideal for RC enthusiasts who already own compatible Traxxas models and want to improve performance and durability. If you're new to the hobby and haven't yet purchased a Traxxas Maxx or WideMaxx, we recommend starting with a complete ready-to-run RC vehicle before investing in individual upgrade components.
• How do I install these steering blocks on my RC vehicle? — Installation involves removing your existing steering blocks and replacing them with these new aluminium versions, using the supplied hardware (screws and locknuts). Detailed installation instructions are typically available from Traxxas, and our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance if you need support during the upgrade process.
