Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These steering blocks are machined from solid 6061-T6 grade aluminium, which is recognised as one of the strongest and most reliable aluminium alloys for precision RC components. This material choice ensures exceptional durability while keeping weight to a minimum, allowing your TRX-4M to maintain excellent performance characteristics both on and off-road.
• Brilliant Red-Anodised Finish — The eye-catching red-anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection. Anodising creates a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer on the aluminium surface that protects against the elements, dirt, and wear, whilst the vibrant red colour adds distinctive high-tech style to your RC machine that won't fade or chip easily.
• Increased Steering Precision — By upgrading to these premium steering blocks, you'll notice a marked improvement in steering accuracy and responsiveness. The precision-machined design eliminates play and flex in the steering system, translating to more controlled inputs and better handling characteristics whether you're navigating tight technical sections or fast open terrain.
• Enhanced Durability Under Load — The robust 6061-T6 aluminium construction significantly increases the strength and longevity of your steering system compared to standard components. These steering blocks are engineered to withstand the demands of serious RC trail driving, including impacts, jumps, and challenging terrain that would damage lesser quality parts.
• Preserves Original Suspension Geometry — These steering blocks are specifically designed for TRX-4M vehicles and maintain the vehicle's factory trail-tuned steering and suspension geometry. This means you get the benefits of upgraded materials and precision manufacturing without compromising the carefully engineered suspension setup that Traxxas has developed.
• Left and Right Pair Included — The package includes both left and right steering blocks, so you have everything needed for a complete steering system upgrade without having to purchase additional parts separately.
• Complete Hardware Package — Included with the steering blocks are all necessary fastening hardware: two 2.5x12mm ball cup screws with threadlock and four 2x6mm stainless steel screws with threadlock. This comprehensive hardware package ensures you can complete the installation without searching for additional parts.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX9737-RED steering blocks represent the pinnacle of RC suspension component engineering. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, this aerospace-grade material offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that's essential for high-performance RC applications. The material undergoes precision machining to create steering blocks with tight tolerances and smooth engagement points, eliminating the play and flex that can compromise steering response on lesser quality components. The red-anodised finish is applied through an electrolytic process that creates a hard, durable protective layer approximately 15-25 microns thick, providing corrosion resistance that's particularly valuable for RC vehicles frequently used in damp UK conditions. The engineering specifically accommodates TRX-4M vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility with the 1/18 scale trail trucks including the Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, Ford F-150, and TRX-4MT Monster Truck variants. Installation is straightforward thanks to the inclusion of purpose-designed fastening hardware: the two 2.5x12mm ball cup screws (BCS) with threadlock provide the primary steering linkage connection, whilst the four 2x6mm stainless steel screws with threadlock secure the blocks to the suspension arms. The threadlock treatment on all fasteners prevents vibration-induced loosening during aggressive driving, maintaining consistent steering geometry and responsiveness throughout extended driving sessions. The steering blocks work in perfect harmony with TRX-4M's independent front suspension design, maintaining the precise angles and geometry that Traxxas engineers have calibrated for optimal trail performance, rock crawling capability, and responsive handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these steering blocks compatible with my TRX-4M? — Yes, these TRX9737-RED steering blocks are specifically engineered for all TRX-4M 1/18 scale trail trucks, including the Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Chevrolet K10, Ford F-150, and TRX-4MT Monster Truck models. They preserve the vehicle's original trail-tuned steering and suspension geometry whilst providing upgraded materials and performance.
• What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than standard plastic steering blocks? — 6061-T6 aluminium is significantly stronger, more durable, and more precise than plastic components. It resists bending and flexing under load, maintains its shape longer, provides better steering response, and lasts substantially longer even with aggressive driving. The material is also fully recyclable and environmentally responsible.
• Will upgrading to these steering blocks improve my handling? — Yes, absolutely. The precision-machined design and rigid aluminium construction eliminate play in the steering system, resulting in more responsive and accurate steering inputs. You'll notice sharper turn-in, better control in technical sections, and improved overall responsiveness compared to standard components.
• What do the threadlock screws do? — Threadlock is a liquid compound applied to screw threads that prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration during off-road driving. This is critical for steering components where any loosening could compromise handling and safety. The threadlock treatment on all fasteners ensures your steering remains secure throughout extended driving sessions.
• Are these red-anodised blocks suitable for use in wet UK conditions? — The anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance specifically designed to protect aluminium from moisture, salt, and environmental contaminants commonly encountered in UK driving conditions. The protective oxide layer is highly resistant to corrosion and will maintain its integrity and appearance even with frequent exposure to damp conditions.
• How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge. You'll need standard RC tools including hex wrenches and a screwdriver. The pre-drilled holes and included hardware with threadlock make the process quick and reliable. If you're new to RC maintenance, our expert team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance to ensure correct installation.
• What is the difference between this red version and other colour options? — The TRX9737-RED provides the same exceptional performance and engineering as other colour variants in this range. The only difference is the aesthetic appearance – you're choosing red-anodised finish instead of dark titanium or other available colours. Performance characteristics, material, build quality, and compatibility are identical across all colour options.
