CNC Focused Steering Block for Competitive Setups

The 3Racing RC18-009/BU steering block is machined to tight tolerances to reduce flex in critical steering joints on the Team Associated RC18R. Aluminium construction improves load bearing and maintains alignment under repeated race conditions.

Tuning Friendly Steering Response

Precision bores and flat mounting faces deliver consistent geometry and predictable steering behaviour, useful when dialing in toe and Ackermann settings for specific track conditions. The block reduces variable compliance that can mask suspension changes.

Installation and Fitment for Tuners

Designed as a direct replacement part, the 3Racing RC18-009/BU installs on factory fixing points and integrates with standard steering linkages. For racers, verify mounting torque and re-check linkage freeplay after fitting to ensure repeatable setup across runs.

What material and machining standards are used?

The block is manufactured from aluminium using precision machining to maintain consistent bore and mounting flatness, which helps reduce steering compliance at high load.

Are there any setup changes recommended after fitting?

Check toe and steering geometry after installation and perform a test run to confirm handling. Small link length or shim adjustments may be needed to match your established race setup.

Does aluminium affect pivot wear compared to plastic?

Aluminium provides improved stiffness but inspect mating surfaces and consider compatible bushings or bearings to prevent accelerated wear where metal contacts polymer components.
