Technical Performance
This Traxxas servo horn represents the pinnacle of steering component engineering for 1/8 scale brushless RC short course trucks. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most trusted aerospace and automotive-grade aluminium alloys in existence, the servo horn delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that keeps unsprung mass to an absolute minimum whilst maintaining the rigidity required for precise steering inputs. The blue anodising process adds a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, road salt, and the challenging weather conditions frequently encountered in UK RC car racing and bashing. The 3x15mm BCS (ball cup socket) mounting specification is the industry standard for Traxxas servo applications, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of aftermarket and OEM servos designed for high-performance RC vehicles. Pre-applied threadlock on the mounting fastener eliminates any risk of loosening during high-speed runs or aggressive cornering manoeuvres. The servo horn's precise machining ensures zero play at the connection point, which directly translates to immediate steering response and accurate directional control. When paired with high-power servos rated for increased torque and speed, this aluminium servo horn can handle the dramatically increased loads without flex or deformation. The design integrates perfectly with Traxxas's upgraded 10246-series aluminium bellcranks, allowing advanced users to build complete steering systems with perfectly matched engineering characteristics. Whether you're upgrading from worn plastic components, stepping up to a more powerful servo, or building a competition-grade RC truck, this servo horn delivers professional-grade performance at an accessible price point.
