Aluminium 12-degree lower caster block

The Yokomo YOKIB41312 aluminium lower caster block is manufactured as a direct replacement for DRB and DIB chassis, offering a stable 12° lower caster configuration in machined aluminium with a blue anodised surface. It targets changes to lower pivot stiffness and steering roll centre without requiring alterations to adjacent steering parts.

Fitting the part is aimed at experienced modelers: remove the stock lower caster block from the hub carrier, install the aluminium unit, and secure with the original fasteners. Basic hex drivers and a solid bench are all that is normally needed; confirm all fastenings and suspension geometry before track use.

As a tuning item the aluminium option tightens suspension response under load compared with softer materials, while the fixed 12° geometry supports predictable caster behaviour suited to medium- and high-traction layouts. The blue finish also helps with quick visual inspection during setup changes.

How durable is this aluminium caster block?

The machined aluminium construction is more impact and wear resistant than standard plastic blocks, though severe impacts can still deform or scuff the part.

Can I reuse the stock mounting hardware?

In almost all cases the original screws will fit; inspect threads and replace any worn fasteners to ensure a secure installation.

Will the aluminium change wear on adjacent parts?

A stiffer aluminium block can concentrate loads differently, so check bearings and pivot points for accelerated wear during early runs and service as required.

Is the colour finish purely cosmetic?

The blue anodised finish is mainly cosmetic but also provides a protective oxide layer that helps resist minor corrosion and surface wear.
