Traxxas RUSTLER owner, it's a must have believe me, i got a very hard hit on the front at high speed, and the plastic one broke in 2 pieces, very good quality, and very cool for design!!!
Great Aluminum Upgrade for your slash or rustler plus they look good too.
Beautiful finish and color and takes a lot of play out of the steering
Super durable only giving 3 stars because it bent but I ran into a tree and it bent back
I recently bought it for slash. After couple of runs(brushless & 2s lipo) it got bent. Now it is hard to fix this aluminum castor. I feel plastic are better as they have some flexibility.
Reviewers generally praise these aluminum caster blocks for their finish, color, and reduced steering play, and several report them as a durable upgrade over plastic blocks on Slash, Rustler, Stampede, and Monster Jam models. Two reviewers say they survived hard impacts that broke plastic blocks. The main recurring concern is bending: one reviewer reported the blocks bent after a few runs and were hard to straighten, and another said they bent after hitting a tree, though it bent back. Reviewers agree that high-speed hits into solid objects can still damage them. Opinions on durability differ, with one reviewer preferring plastic for its flexibility. Overall sentiment is positive, based on a small sample of seven reviews.
