Technical Performance
This servo horn represents the pinnacle of RC steering upgrade components for your 1/8 scale Traxxas Maxx Slash. Manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, the material choice reflects genuine engineering excellence. The 6061-T6 alloy is renowned throughout the RC industry for its combination of light weight and exceptional strength, making it the standard choice for high-performance racing components. The hard-anodised red finish is applied through a specialised electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer far more durable than standard anodising, providing genuine long-term corrosion resistance and colour retention even in challenging UK weather conditions. The servo horn is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring that every component meets Traxxas' stringent quality standards. The 3x15mm ball cup screws with included threadlock provide secure mounting to your servo whilst maintaining the precision fit required for smooth, responsive steering. When paired with high-power upgraded servos and the 10246-series aluminium bellcranks, this servo horn creates a steering assembly capable of handling the increased demands of brushless RC racing and extreme bashing, delivering faster steering response and eliminating the flexing or binding that can occur with plastic components. The engineering philosophy behind this component is simple: invest in aluminium where it matters for performance and longevity, ensuring your Maxx Slash delivers lap after lap of reliable steering precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models does this servo horn fit? — This steering servo horn is specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S brushless short course truck, compatible with all colour variants including the red, green, rock and roll, and blue editions (TRX102076-4-RED, TRX102076-4-GRN, TRX102076-4-RNR, TRX102076-4-BLUE).
- Why would I want to upgrade to an aluminium servo horn? — Upgrading from plastic to aluminium servo horns eliminates flexing under load, which is especially important when running high-power upgraded servos on your brushless RC truck. The increased rigidity provides faster, more precise steering response, reduces binding, and dramatically improves durability during aggressive racing or bashing, making it an essential component for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK.
- Does this come with everything I need to install it? — Yes, this servo horn includes the 3x15mm ball cup screws and threadlock, so you have everything needed to mount it directly onto your servo. However, you will need a compatible servo and steering linkage assembly to create a complete steering system.
- What is 6061-T6 aluminium and why is it used? — 6061-T6 is aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that has been heat-treated (the T6 designation) to achieve optimal strength and hardness. It is the industry standard for precision RC components because it offers an excellent balance of light weight, exceptional strength, superior machinability, and outstanding corrosion resistance, making it perfect for demanding RC applications.
- Can I use this with my original plastic servo horn? — No, this is a replacement servo horn designed to mount directly to your servo in place of the original component. It is not compatible with other mounting systems and requires a standard Traxxas servo to function.
- Will this improve my steering speed? — Yes, the rigid aluminium construction eliminates the slight flexing present in plastic horns, which allows your servo to transmit steering commands more directly to the bellcrank and wheels. This results in noticeably faster and more responsive steering, which is particularly beneficial when running high-power upgraded servos.
- Is the red finish just cosmetic or does it serve a purpose? — Whilst the brilliant red colour certainly enhances the visual appeal of your RC truck, the hard-anodised finish serves a critical protective function. The anodisation process creates a durable oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, road salt, and dirt, ensuring your servo horn maintains its appearance and performance even in tough UK weather conditions and wet terrain.
- What bellcranks does this work with? — This servo horn is specifically designed to integrate perfectly with the upgraded 10246-series aluminium bellcranks. Using genuine Traxxas components ensures seamless compatibility and optimal performance throughout your complete steering assembly.
