Key Features
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These steering blocks are machined from solid, high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, which provides an optimal balance of strength, weight and machinability. This material choice ensures your steering blocks can withstand the punishment of serious RC driving whilst remaining lightweight enough not to negatively impact your vehicle's performance or battery runtime.
- Brilliant Green Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised finish isn't merely about aesthetics; it provides genuine corrosion protection and wear resistance. Anodising creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, protecting your steering blocks from rust, oxidation and the effects of moisture exposure during outdoor RC driving sessions.
- Left and Right Steering Blocks Pair — You receive both left and right steering blocks as a matched pair, ensuring perfectly balanced steering geometry across your entire vehicle's front end. This pairing guarantees that your steering response is consistent and predictable from lock to lock.
- Included 3x18mm Fasteners with Threadlock — The package includes two 3x18mm ball cup studs (BCS) complete with threadlock compound, ensuring your steering blocks remain securely fastened even during aggressive cornering, jumps and high-speed runs. Threadlock prevents fastener loosening caused by vibration, a common issue with RC vehicles.
- Total Steering Authority — These components provide the maximum possible steering range whilst maintaining precise control. The improved steering accuracy translates directly into tighter cornering lines, better response to steering inputs and ultimately faster lap times for competitive racing.
- High-Tech Style — The green anodised finish combined with precision machining gives your RC Maxx or WideMaxx a genuinely professional, high-performance appearance that reflects the quality engineering inside.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas steering blocks represent precision engineering at its finest. Machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminium, they offer the perfect combination of strength and weight efficiency that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates the aluminium has been heat-treated to T6 condition, providing maximum strength whilst maintaining excellent machinability and corrosion resistance. The brilliant green anodised finish provides genuine protection against the elements—essential for RC cars UK that face variable weather conditions and moisture exposure. The inclusion of two 3x18mm ball cup studs with threadlock ensures your steering geometry remains perfectly aligned and consistent through even the most aggressive driving sessions. These components are specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 scale 4WD brushless short course truck and the WideMaxx monster truck, fitting seamlessly into these platforms to deliver measurable improvements in steering response, handling precision and overall vehicle control. The steering blocks work in conjunction with your vehicle's servo system to translate control inputs into precise directional changes, and the improved geometry that these upgraded components provide ensures your servo's full torque potential is used efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Traxxas steering blocks compatible with my RC vehicle? — These green-anodised steering blocks (model TRX10237-GRN) are specifically designed as upgrade components for Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 scale 4WD brushless short course trucks in all colour variants (Rock N Roll, Blue, Red and Green) and the Traxxas WideMaxx monster truck platform in all available colours. If you own either of these models, these steering blocks will fit perfectly as direct replacements for the stock components.
- What is the advantage of upgrading to aluminium steering blocks? — Stock steering blocks on many RC vehicles use plastic or lower-grade materials. Upgrading to precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminium provides several tangible benefits: superior strength and durability to withstand aggressive driving without cracking or breaking, improved dimensional stability that maintains precise steering geometry over time, better heat dissipation, and enhanced resistance to corrosion and wear. For RC car UK enthusiasts who drive regularly, these upgrades deliver noticeable improvements in handling precision and component longevity.
- Why is the anodised finish important? — The brilliant green anodised finish is far more than cosmetic. Anodising creates a hard, protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, oxidation and general wear. This protection is particularly valuable for RC vehicles exposed to moisture, salt spray or outdoor conditions, as it prevents white oxidation bloom and extends the working lifespan of your steering blocks significantly.
- What do the 3x18mm ball cup studs do? — The 3x18mm ball cup studs connect your servo horn to these steering blocks, transferring the servo's rotational motion into precise left-right steering input. The inclusion of threadlock compound ensures these critical fasteners remain absolutely secure throughout aggressive driving, preventing the loosening that vibration and impact commonly cause.
- Do I need professional installation to fit these steering blocks? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical experience. You'll need to remove your existing steering blocks and fasteners, fit the new aluminium blocks in their place using the provided ball cup studs with threadlock, and ensure your steering geometry is properly aligned. If you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle maintenance, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance or installation support.
- Will these steering blocks improve my lap times? — Absolutely. Upgraded steering blocks contribute to improved handling precision, tighter cornering lines and more responsive steering. Combined with other suspension and drivetrain upgrades, quality steering components like these definitely impact competitive performance, particularly for drivers pushing their vehicles to the limit on track.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are intermediate-level upgrade components designed for owners who have already mastered basic RC operation and are looking to improve their vehicle's performance. If you're new to RC vehicles, you'll benefit from mastering your stock vehicle first before investing in performance upgrades, though these components don't require advanced mechanical knowledge to install.
