Overview
The Traxxas Steering Arm with Servo Saver (TRX5344) is an essential replacement component for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and protection for their steering servo. Whether you're bashing your RC car UK-wide or running competitive races, a properly functioning servo saver is critical to protecting your servo against the impacts and shock that come from aggressive driving. This replacement bellcrank assembly is designed to work seamlessly with Traxxas RC vehicles, ensuring your steering remains responsive and your servo stays safe from damage.
For anyone serious about their RC hobby, investing in quality replacement parts like this servo saver assembly demonstrates a commitment to maintaining peak performance. The servo saver mechanism acts as a shock absorber for your steering servo, preventing catastrophic damage when your RC model hits obstacles or experiences sudden steering load spikes. This is particularly important for competitive drivers and weekend bashers alike who want to extend the lifespan of expensive servo equipment.
The TRX5344 is part of Traxxas's comprehensive range of replacement parts and upgrades, recognised worldwide as the benchmark for quality in RC vehicles. This servo saver assembly comes complete with everything you need to restore your steering system to factory condition, making it an excellent choice for maintenance, repair, or performance upgrades on your Traxxas RC model.
Key Features
- Complete Bellcrank Assembly — This is not just a simple servo saver spring; it's a complete replacement bellcrank assembly that includes all the components necessary to restore full steering functionality to your RC vehicle, eliminating the need to source multiple parts separately.
- New Servo Saver Spring Included — The replacement spring ensures your servo saver operates at optimal tension, providing consistent protection against impacts and allowing your steering to return smoothly to centre after each input, which is essential for both handling and component longevity.
- Upper and Lower Steering Arms — Both upper and lower steering arms are included in this assembly, meaning you get a complete steering linkage replacement that maintains precise geometry and alignment for accurate steering response.
- Steering Link Included — The steering link connects your servo output to the steering arms, and having a fresh one ensures your steering inputs translate directly to wheel movement without any play or delay.
- Front and Rear Shock Mounts — This assembly includes shock mounts for both front and rear, allowing you to refresh your entire steering and suspension interface at once, which is particularly valuable when rebuilding after heavy use or damage.
- Hardware Fasteners — Four 2.5x18mm screws are provided, ensuring you have all the necessary fasteners to complete the installation without having to search through your spare parts box.
- Servo Protection — By maintaining a fully functional servo saver assembly, you protect your steering servo against impacts and sudden load spikes that could otherwise cause permanent damage, saving you hundreds of pounds on servo replacement costs.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX5344 servo saver assembly represents the engineering standard that Traxxas has built its reputation upon. The bellcrank mechanism works by allowing controlled deflection under impact, rather than transmitting all shock directly to the servo. The servo saver spring provides the exact resistance needed to protect the servo whilst maintaining steering accuracy and responsiveness. The steering arms and steering link are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring that when installed, your steering geometry matches the factory specification. The shock mounts included are engineered to work in harmony with the servo saver mechanism, creating a fully integrated steering and suspension interface. For RC enthusiasts in the UK running either casual weekend RC cars or competitive racing setups, this assembly provides the engineering reliability that Traxxas is known for, with all components designed to work together seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need to replace my servo saver? — Over time and with regular use, the servo saver spring can lose tension or become damaged from impacts, reducing its ability to protect your steering servo. A worn servo saver can allow shock to transfer directly to your servo, leading to stripped gears or permanent damage. The TRX5344 gives you a complete fresh assembly with new spring tension and all associated components, restoring full protective function.
- What vehicles is this servo saver compatible with? — The TRX5344 is a genuine Traxxas part designed for specific Traxxas RC models. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team to confirm compatibility with your specific RC car model, as different Traxxas vehicles use different servo saver assemblies.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a spare part designed for replacement or maintenance rather than a complete vehicle, beginners who own a Traxxas RC car will find this component important for protecting their servo. If your servo saver is damaged or showing signs of wear, this replacement assembly is straightforward to install and essential for maintaining your RC model.
- How difficult is it to install? — Installation of the bellcrank assembly requires basic mechanical skills and an understanding of your RC vehicle's steering system. The included fasteners and straightforward design make installation manageable for most RC enthusiasts, though we recommend consulting your vehicle's service manual or watching a tutorial video before starting work.
- What is the difference between this and aftermarket servo savers? — The TRX5344 is a genuine Traxxas part, engineered specifically for Traxxas vehicles and manufactured to factory specifications. This ensures perfect fit and function, and maintains the integrity of your RC model's steering geometry compared to third-party alternatives that may not match exact tolerances.
