This machined aluminum steering block is an aftermarket upgrade for the Axial AX10 Deadbolt chassis. It replaces standard plastic blocks to reduce flex and provide a more rigid mounting point for the steering knuckle.
Material and finish: CNC-machined aluminum with an anodized orange finish for durability and aesthetic matching. It mounts at chassis level as the steering link support and is intended for model-scale usage.
Installation notes: installation involves removing the original steering block and separating the steering knuckle. Stock hardware is often reused, so confirm screw types and lengths. Check fitment and apply controlled torque to protect knuckle and hub threads.
Tuning role: the aluminium block reduces pivot compliance, helping maintain steering geometry under load and delivering crisper steering feedback for precise low-speed manoeuvres.
