Technical Performance
This steering bellcrank assembly represents the pinnacle of RC steering component engineering. Machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, the same material used in aerospace applications, these components deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that competitive RC enthusiasts demand. The milling process creates precision-engineered geometry that translates servo input into perfectly controlled steering angles, crucial for maintaining consistent lap times and predictable handling through corners. The brilliant hard-anodised finish serves dual purposes: aesthetically, it delivers a premium grey appearance that enhances your Maxx Slash's visual appeal, and functionally, it creates a low-friction surface that allows the bellcrank to pivot with minimal resistance. This smooth pivoting action is essential for responsive steering control, particularly important in tight technical sections where every millisecond of steering response matters. The assembly includes bellcranks, posts, drag link, and servo saver bushing, along with all necessary mounting hardware including 3x20mm ball cup screws with threadlock and 3x15mm ball cup screws with threadlock, ensuring your steering system remains secure during intense driving. The servo saver bushing protects your servo from shock loads whilst maintaining steering precision. Every component is manufactured to Traxxas factory specifications, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with your 1/8 scale Maxx Slash short course truck without any modification required.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this steering bellcrank assembly suitable for my Traxxas Maxx Slash? — Yes, this assembly is specifically engineered as a genuine Traxxas accessory for the Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD short course truck. It is compatible with all Maxx Slash models including the Rock N Roll, Blue, Red, and Green variants, and fits perfectly without any modification required.
- What is the advantage of upgrading to aluminium bellcranks? — Aluminium bellcranks offer several advantages over stock plastic components: superior strength that resists bending from impacts, improved precision due to tight manufacturing tolerances, better appearance with the premium hard-anodised finish, and more consistent steering response through their entire lifespan as aluminium doesn't degrade like plastic can with repeated stress.
- Will this improve my steering precision? — Yes, the precision-engineered 6061-T6 aluminium construction combined with the brilliant hard-anodised finish creates minimal friction in the pivoting action, delivering immediate and responsive steering control that allows you to execute more precise cornering lines and achieve better lap times on the track.

This extends the life of your servo and prevents costly repairs or replacements after heavy impacts.
