The included bearings and hardware mean everything you need is included in the box, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge or experience.

Key Features

• High-grade 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Milled from a solid block of premium-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these bellcranks deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratio whilst remaining rigid enough to maintain precise steering geometry under demanding RC conditions. This material choice ensures your steering assembly will withstand the forces generated during aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres.
• Brilliant Hard-Anodised Grey Finish — The hard-anodised surface finish provides multiple benefits: superior corrosion and scratch resistance for long-term durability, a premium appearance that enhances your RC truck's visual appeal, and smooth pivoting action that allows the bellcranks to articulate with precision. The grey anodised coating is both functional and visually striking.
• Precision Steering Performance — These bellcranks directly improve your Mini Maxx's steering response and accuracy, allowing tighter turning radius and more predictable handling characteristics. Whether you're navigating technical course layouts or executing high-speed turns, improved steering precision translates to better lap times and more enjoyable driving experience.
• Factory-Fit Quality and Construction — Manufactured to exacting Traxxas standards with factory fit and finish, these components integrate seamlessly with your Mini Maxx chassis. You can be confident that tolerances, alignment and overall quality meet original equipment specifications.
• Includes Complete Hardware Kit — The package contains everything required for installation: two 3x13mm stainless steel screws with threadlock, two 3x12mm ball cup screws with threadlock, plus bearing assemblies. Nothing else needs to be purchased for a complete steering upgrade.
• Premium Ball Bearing Set — Two 5x8x2.5mm ball bearings and two 5x10x4mm ball bearings are included, providing smooth, low-friction pivot points. These precision bearings reduce drag and enable the silky-smooth turning action that characterises a properly maintained steering assembly.
• Appearance and Customisation — The distinctive grey anodised colour adds visual interest and style to your Mini Maxx monster truck, allowing you to customise and personalise your build. When combined with other anodised Traxxas components, you can create a cohesive, professionally finished appearance.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas steering bellcranks represent a serious upgrade for Mini Maxx owners seeking improved handling and steering response. The 6061-T6 aluminium material is carefully selected for its excellent machinability whilst delivering outstanding strength characteristics that withstand the forces generated during RC off-road driving. The hard-anodised finish goes beyond aesthetics; it creates a protective barrier that resists corrosion from moisture and salt, extends component lifespan, and maintains dimensional accuracy by preventing surface degradation. The steering assembly comprises precision-machined bellcranks working in conjunction with quality ball bearings that minimise friction and enable responsive steering input translation. The included stainless steel and ball cup screws feature integrated threadlock compound to prevent fastener loosening during use—a critical consideration for maintaining steering geometry under vibration. The dual-bearing arrangement (5x8x2.5mm and 5x10x4mm specifications) creates a robust pivot system capable of handling repeated steering cycles whilst maintaining consistent performance. For UK RC enthusiasts building or upgrading their mini RC truck, this component delivers measurable improvements in handling precision that translate directly to better track performance and more satisfying driving dynamics. The engineering quality ensures this remains a worthwhile investment that will serve reliably through countless drives and seasons of use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these steering bellcranks fit my Traxxas Mini Maxx RC truck? — Yes, these are designed specifically as accessory parts for all Traxxas Mini Maxx models, including the Mini Maxx BL-2S available in green, blue, black and orange variants. They are also compatible with several other Traxxas mini RC vehicles including the Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200, Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 short course truck, and Mini XRT VXL-3S models.
• Do I need any additional hardware to install these bellcranks? — No, everything required for installation is included in the box. The package contains all necessary screws with threadlock and both bearing sizes needed for the steering assembly. You will only need basic tools such as an appropriately-sized hex wrench or screwdriver to complete installation.
• What is the benefit of upgrading to aluminium steering bellcranks? — Aluminium bellcranks offer several advantages over standard plastic components: superior strength and rigidity that maintains precise steering geometry under demanding conditions, improved aesthetic appearance that enhances your RC truck's visual appeal, better durability and corrosion resistance from the hard-anodised finish, and smoother steering action through precision engineering and quality bearing integration. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to optimise their mini truck's handling characteristics, this represents a worthwhile upgrade.
• Are these components suitable for beginners? — While these are premium components, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical experience. If you are new to RC car building and modification, we recommend consulting installation guides or seeking support from experienced RC enthusiasts. The RC Model Shop team are happy to provide guidance on fitting and setup.
• How do the included ball bearings improve steering performance? — The precision ball bearings (5x8x2.5mm and 5x10x4mm) create low-friction pivot points that allow the bellcranks to articulate smoothly with minimal resistance. This enables faster steering response, reduces the force required to turn the wheels, and helps maintain consistent steering geometry throughout a drive session. Quality bearings are fundamental to achieving silky-smooth turning action.
• Why is the hard-anodised finish important? — The hard-anodised finish serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. It protects the aluminium from corrosion caused by moisture, dirt and salt exposure—critical for RC vehicles that see regular use outdoors. The coating also provides excellent scratch resistance and maintains the bright grey appearance longer than bare aluminium would. Additionally, the anodised surface enables smooth pivoting without binding.
