This precision machined aluminium caster block is designed to be compatible with Team Associated RC18T and RC18R vehicles. Compared with standard plastic units, the aluminium part increases front-end stiffness and provides a reliable mount for the steering knuckle, affecting caster and steering characteristics.
Fitting is aimed at hobbyists comfortable with routine maintenance: remove the original caster block according to your chassis guide, move over any bearings or pins, then secure the aluminium block with the existing screws. After installation, check steering play, linkage geometry and bearing seating to confirm correct installation.
For tuning, the reduced flex of the aluminium block helps stabilise steering feedback and makes caster and camber adjustments more repeatable during fast runs. This is a practical, drop-in upgrade for builders wanting firmer front-end behaviour on RC18T and RC18R cars.
