GPM Racing Aluminium 7075 Front Steering Blocks for Traxxas 1/10 Slash 4x4 (SLA021N)

Precision engineered front steering blocks

The GPM SLA021N front steering blocks are engineered as RC-scale replacements for TRAXXAS Slash 4X4 chassis, produced with precision CNC machining from 7075 aluminium to increase stiffness and long term durability. The pair replaces standard plastic steering blocks, delivering a firmer mounting point for front hubs and accepting the included bearings for reliable rotation.

Bearings are supplied to simplify installation and ensure accurate alignment. The machined low-profile form reduces visual bulk while maintaining the original steering geometry. Two tie-rod mounting positions offer a straightforward tuning method to change steering leverage and roll-steer behaviour during setup.

Installation follows a standard process: remove stock blocks, press or transfer the supplied bearings into the aluminium units, and secure them into the front hub assembly using the vehicle’s existing hardware. These blocks are engineered to function within the factory TRAXXAS 1/10 4×4 front steering arrangement and support competitive hobby use.

Designed for precision and repeatable fitment, these CNC machined 7075 aluminium blocks provide improved stiffness and consistent bearing support for hobbyists seeking durable front-end performance.

What bearing sizes are included?

The pack contains 5x13x4 and 10x15x4 bearings as listed under Packing includes to match the steering block bores.

How does 7075 aluminium compare to typical plastics?

7075 aluminium provides higher stiffness and improved impact resistance compared with common injection molded plastics, offering better repeatability under load though it may pass more shock forces through the drivetrain.

Any tips for installing the bearings?

Use a bearing press or a carefully applied even drift to seat bearings squarely; avoid hammering directly on the race and confirm smooth rotation before final assembly. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
