It's a must have, with the VXL power you will brake it at the first hit, i broke the rear once first, because when u brake, the Rustler somethimes spins, and at first hit, goodbye, very good quality!
The part itself is very good. I put it in my Rustler. However, it is not compatible with ST Racing Concepts Aluminum Front A-Arm Set [SPTST3631GM] and ST Racing Concepts Aluminum Caster Blocks [SPTST3632GM]. When install together, the steering block will rub against the end part of the STRC A-Arm when try to turn. Traxxas aluminum is harder, so A-arm is scratched. Servo is also working really hard. I will have to put my plastic block back in or grind the A-arm.
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 wheels and steering
Reviewers rate these blue aluminum steering blocks highly, praising their finish, color, and the reduced play they add to steering and wheels. They are described as a good upgrade for Slash and Rustler models. One reviewer reported a compatibility problem: when fitted with ST Racing Concepts aluminum A-arms and caster blocks, the steering block rubbed against the A-arm during turns, scratching the arm and making the servo work harder, forcing a return to the plastic block or grinding the A-arm. Another reviewer mentioned breaking parts under high power, though this was framed as a limit of the vehicle setup rather than a flaw in the block.
