Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Machined from premium-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, this servo horn provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that outperforms plastic alternatives, ensuring your steering input is transmitted with precision even under high-stress racing conditions or aggressive bashing.
• Grey Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised coating offers superior corrosion resistance against moisture and the elements, a crucial advantage in the UK's varied climate, whilst adding a professional, factory-quality appearance to your RC setup.
• 3x15mm BCS Compatibility — Features 3x15mm Ball Cup Socket (BCS) connection, ensuring secure and precise attachment to compatible servo splines and linkage systems, with minimal play or looseness.
• Includes Threadlock — Comes pre-supplied with threadlock compound, providing immediate assembly security and preventing fasteners from vibrating loose during high-speed driving or rough off-road conditions.
• Optimised for High-Power Servos — Specifically designed to handle the torque and response demands of upgraded, high-power steering servos, making it ideal for competitive driving or demanding terrain.

Technical Performance

This servo horn represents a significant step up in steering system performance for any Traxxas Maxx Slash owner running brushless drivetrain components. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction provides superior rigidity compared to standard plastic servo horns, resulting in sharper, more responsive steering inputs and reduced deflection even under full throttle cornering. The material choice reflects Traxxas's engineering philosophy—spending marginally more on durable materials pays dividends in performance and longevity. The grey anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; anodising creates a hardened oxide layer that significantly improves wear resistance and corrosion protection, essential for UK RC enthusiasts who may be driving in damp conditions or near coastal areas. At approximately 1/8 scale truck standards, this component is optimised to work with the Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck and related models. The 3x15mm BCS connection is the industry-standard interface for Traxxas servo systems, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of steering servos. The included threadlock provides immediate assembly security, eliminating the need for separate Loctite or threadlock purchases and ensuring that once installed, your servo horn connection will remain rock-solid through countless driving sessions. Engineers designing RC steering systems must balance precision, durability, and weight; this servo horn achieves all three objectives through careful material selection and proven design principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this servo horn compatible with the Traxxas Maxx Slash? — Yes, this servo horn is specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck. It is also compatible with other Traxxas models equipped with 3x15mm BCS servo connections, including the Maxx Slash variants available in blue, rock n roll, red, and green colour schemes.
• Will this improve my steering response compared to the stock plastic horn? — Absolutely. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction is significantly more rigid than plastic, reducing flex and deflection during aggressive cornering. This translates to more precise steering input translation and faster response times, particularly noticeable when running high-power upgraded servos or racing competitively.
• What is the 3x15mm BCS connection? — BCS stands for Ball Cup Socket, which is Traxxas's standard servo spline interface. The 3x15mm designation refers to the specific dimensions; this is the universal fitment for most Traxxas 1/8 scale and many 1/10 scale vehicles. It provides a secure, precise connection between your servo output shaft and the servo horn.
• Do I need threadlock for installation? — The servo horn comes pre-supplied with threadlock compound, so you can install it immediately without purchasing additional locking compound. This ensures that fasteners will not vibrate loose during driving.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this servo horn is a genuine upgrade component rather than an entry-level part, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. However, beginners should ensure they have a compatible servo and understand their vehicle's steering linkage before purchasing. If you're new to RC cars, consult our expert team at RC Model Shop who can guide you through proper installation.
• What are the advantages of the grey anodised finish? — The anodised coating provides multiple benefits: enhanced corrosion resistance (crucial in the UK's damp climate), improved wear resistance, protection against UV damage, and a professional factory appearance. Unlike painted finishes, anodising is integral to the material surface and won't chip or peel with use.
• Can I use this with a standard servo or does it require a high-power servo? — The servo horn is mechanically compatible with any servo featuring a 3x15mm BCS spline. However, Traxxas specifically recommends high-power upgraded servos to take full advantage of the horn's rigidity and strength. If you're using a standard servo, this upgrade will still provide improved precision and durability.
• How does this integrate with the 10246-series bellcranks? — The servo horn's design and dimensions are optimised to work seamlessly with Traxxas's upgraded 10246-series aluminium bellcranks, creating a complete high-performance steering system. The connection points, throw angles, and mechanical linkage paths are all engineered to work in harmony.
