GPM Racing 7075 Alloy Front Steering Blocks with Oversize Bearing for Traxxas 1/8 Jato 4x4 VXL Brushless (TJ021)

Direct-replacement steering blocks for JATO 4X4 VXL

This is an RC-scale front steering block set engineered for TRAXXAS JATO 4X4 VXL platforms and related models. Machined from 7075 aluminium, the parts replace the stock plastic blocks to provide a stiffer steering knuckle mounting, while the enlarged outer bearing interface is intended to reduce play and keep the CVD alignment consistent under load.

The kit includes inner and outer bearings sized 12x18x4 and 6x13x4 respectively, supplied to match the revised bore and to smooth rotation at the steering spindle. Fitment and tuning focus on mechanical stability rather than end-user electronics or motor changes, so these blocks are suited for hobbyists looking to tighten steering feel and reduce slop during aggressive off-road use.

Packing includes

• Front Steering Blocks - 2pcs
• Bearing 12x18x4 (inner) - 2pcs
• Bearing 6x13x4 (outside) - 2pcs

Use these 7075 alloy steering blocks to reduce steering play and keep the front CVDs aligned, especially after upgrading to heavier wheels or higher-power drivetrains where stock plastic knuckles may flex.

Are these blocks a direct swap for the plastic originals?

Yes. The TJ021 kit is produced as a direct-replacement upgrade for the compatible front steering blocks and is intended to be installed with the supplied bearings.

Which bearing sizes are supplied with TJ021?

The package supplies inner bearings 12x18x4 and outer bearings 6x13x4, each in matching pairs for left and right fitment.

Will I need to buy additional hardware to install these blocks?

Most installations reuse the vehicle's original fasteners and CVDs; always confirm fitment on your chassis and keep basic hand tools available.

What performance improvements can users expect?

Users should notice a firmer steering feel and less lateral movement at the front end, which aids alignment retention and improves consistency during off-road driving. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
