This steering block is made as a direct replacement or performance hop-up for Gmade R1 rock buggy applications. Red anodized aluminum increases stiffness and yields more repeatable steering geometry than original plastic parts.
The part fits Gmade R1 style assemblies and corresponding R1 chassis layouts; check your steering knuckle and hub mounting pattern to confirm fit before purchasing. Supplied as a single steering block intended for scale RC models only.
Fitting notes: remove the stock steering block, carry over any bearings and hardware you will reuse, then mount the alloy block ensuring steering linkages sit at the neutral point. After fitting, sweep the steering across its full range to check for binding with wheel hexes or driveline components.
Performance role: replacing the plastic block with alloy reduces flex at the front pivot, helping to keep toe and ackermann steadier under load and producing more predictable steering response in both technical crawler sections and faster rock buggy driving.
