Overview
The Traxxas Steering Bellcranks with Hardware (TRX7746) is an essential replacement steering assembly designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and precision in their high-performance RC monster trucks. This comprehensive steering kit is specifically engineered to keep your RC car steering system in peak condition, making it an indispensable part for anyone running a Traxxas X-Maxx or X-Monster. Whether you're a seasoned RC racer in the UK or an enthusiast who regularly bashes your RC vehicle off-road, this steering bellcrank assembly ensures your truck maintains responsive, accurate steering control through the most demanding terrain and conditions.
Built with Traxxas's renowned engineering standards, this replacement bellcrank assembly provides everything you need to maintain or repair your steering system without having to purchase individual components separately. The kit includes all the critical steering linkage parts that work together to transmit steering commands from your radio receiver to the front wheels of your brushless RC monster truck. This is particularly important for X-Maxx owners, as the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR is renowned for its aggressive driving style and high-speed capability, which puts considerable stress on steering components during impacts and rough terrain bashings.
If you've recently crashed your RC model, noticed sluggish steering response, or simply want to maintain your RC car UK collection to the highest standards, the TRX7746 steering bellcrank assembly is the ideal solution. This replacement kit allows you to perform essential maintenance and repairs quickly, getting your RC truck back on the track or trail in no time.
Key Features
- Complete Steering Assembly — This kit provides a full steering bellcrank system including the bellcranks themselves, support bracket, servo saver, spring, and drag link, eliminating the need to source multiple individual components and ensuring perfect compatibility across all parts.
- Servo Saver Protection — The included servo saver mechanism is specifically designed to protect your steering servo against sudden impacts and collisions, which is absolutely critical when you're running a high-performance brushless RC monster truck at full throttle over rough terrain, as the servo saver absorbs shock loads that would otherwise damage your expensive servo.
- Servo Saver Spring — The replacement spring maintains the correct tension and responsiveness of the servo saver unit, ensuring that your steering remains smooth and predictable whilst still providing protection against hard impacts during aggressive RC driving.
- Drag Link Included — The drag link is a crucial component that connects your steering bellcrank to the steering rod, and this replacement ensures perfect geometry and smooth steering operation without play or slop.
- Bellcrank Support Bracket — The support bracket maintains proper alignment of the bellcrank assembly, ensuring that steering forces are transmitted efficiently and that your RC truck's front end remains stable and responsive during high-speed cornering and jumps.
- Premium Hardware — The kit includes two 3x20mm shoulder screws manufactured to Traxxas specifications, providing secure fastening that won't loosen or rattle loose during aggressive driving sessions.
- OEM Quality Components — As an official Traxxas replacement part, every component in this assembly meets the exact specifications and tolerances required by your X-Maxx or X-Monster, guaranteeing perfect fit and function.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX7746 steering bellcrank assembly represents the pinnacle of precision steering component engineering, designed specifically for the enormous forces generated by high-performance brushless RC monster trucks like the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR and X-Maxx Ultimate models. The bellcrank system uses a mechanical advantage principle to convert the rotational motion of your servo into precise left-right steering input, with the support bracket and servo saver working in concert to maintain alignment and absorb the shock loads inherent in aggressive off-road RC driving. The servo saver spring is calibrated to provide just the right amount of give—firm enough to maintain steering precision during normal driving but compliant enough to protect your steering servo when you hit rocks, kerbs, or other obstacles at high speed. The drag link and bellcrank support bracket are manufactured from durable materials engineered to withstand the torsional and impact forces experienced during competitive RC racing and weekend bashings alike. This complete assembly ensures that your steering response remains sharp and linear, critical for maintaining control over a powerful brushless motor-equipped RC truck that can accelerate from 0 to maximum speed in seconds. The 3x20mm shoulder screws provided in the kit are precision-engineered to lock parts into perfect alignment without stripping or loosening, even after repeated impacts. Whether you're racing on a competitive RC track or exploring rough trails with your RC car in the UK, this steering bellcrank assembly provides the performance and reliability you demand from genuine Traxxas components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Traxxas TRX7746 steering bellcrank assembly suitable for my X-Maxx or X-Monster? — Yes, this steering bellcrank assembly is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with multiple X-Maxx variants including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR in orange, blue, red, and green colours, the X-Maxx Ultimate in blue and green, and the X-Monster chassis, making it the perfect replacement part for any of these models.
- Why is the servo saver so important in an RC monster truck? — The servo saver is absolutely critical because brushless RC monster trucks generate enormous steering forces during fast cornering and impacts. Without proper servo saver protection, these impact forces would be transmitted directly to your servo, potentially breaking the servo gears or causing permanent damage—the servo saver absorbs and dissipates these forces, extending your servo's lifespan significantly.
- Do I need any additional parts to install this steering bellcrank assembly? — This kit is comprehensive and includes all the essential components needed for a complete steering bellcrank assembly, including the servo saver, spring, drag link, support bracket, and fastening hardware; however, you will need basic RC tools such as hex wrenches and screwdrivers for installation, which are standard items in any RC enthusiast's toolkit.
- How often should I replace the steering bellcrank assembly on my RC monster truck? — The steering bellcrank assembly is a wear item that should be inspected regularly for signs of damage, looseness, or binding; if you notice sluggish steering response, grinding sensations, or visible cracks in any component, replacement is recommended immediately to maintain optimal steering performance and avoid more extensive damage to your steering servo.
- What is the difference between the servo saver spring and the bellcrank support bracket? — The servo saver spring provides the compliance and cushioning that protects your servo during impacts by allowing the steering linkage to flex and absorb shock loads, whilst the bellcrank support bracket maintains precise geometric alignment of the bellcrank assembly, ensuring smooth and predictable steering feel during normal driving conditions.
- Can I use aftermarket steering bellcranks instead of Traxxas OEM parts? — Whilst aftermarket options exist, genuine Traxxas OEM components like the TRX7746 are engineered and tested to work perfectly with your X-Maxx or X-Monster, ensuring proper fit, function, and compatibility; choosing OEM parts guarantees that your steering system will perform exactly as Traxxas designed it.
