Overview

Elevate your RC monster truck experience with the Traxxas Steering Bellcranks Draglink in eye-catching green anodised finish. These premium steering components are specifically engineered for Traxxas Mini series vehicles, including the Mini Maxx, Mini Rally VXL, Mini Slash BL-2S, and Mini XRT VXL-3S. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK or someone looking to upgrade their existing RC car, these aluminium bellcranks deliver the precision steering and durability that serious bashers and racers demand. The green anodised finish not only looks stunning on your RC truck but also signals that you're investing in genuine Traxxas quality engineering and performance.

Machined from a solid block of high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these steering bellcranks are built to handle the rigours of off-road RC action. The engineering behind these components goes beyond aesthetics—they directly impact how your RC vehicle responds to your inputs, providing the crisp, responsive steering that separates a properly set-up RC monster truck from one that feels loose and unpredictable. If you've been experiencing vague steering feel or want to upgrade from plastic steering components, these aluminium bellcranks are the answer. They come complete with all necessary hardware and precision ball bearings, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC knowledge.

RC model shop enthusiasts across the UK recognise that steering precision is fundamental to RC performance. Whether you're bashing through rough terrain, navigating tight tracks, or competing at an RC event, your steering system must be responsive, reliable, and built to last. These Traxxas bellcranks satisfy all those requirements and add visual appeal that will make your Mini series RC vehicle stand out from the crowd.

Key Features

• High-Grade 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Milled from a solid block of premium 6061-T6 aluminium, these bellcranks deliver superior strength compared to plastic alternatives whilst remaining lightweight enough not to negatively impact your RC vehicle's handling characteristics. This material choice ensures durability through thousands of steering cycles without cracking or failure.
• Brilliant Hard-Anodised Green Finish — The hard-anodised coating provides not just visual appeal but also corrosion resistance and a durable protective layer that withstands the wear and tear of regular RC use. The green anodised finish adds colour and style to your Mini series RC monster truck, allowing you to create a cohesive custom look across multiple components.
• Improved Appearance, Strength and Precision — These bellcranks enhance three critical aspects of your RC vehicle simultaneously. The aluminium construction increases overall strength, the precise machining improves steering response and accuracy, and the anodised finish makes your RC truck look more professional and well-maintained.
• Premium Quality Construction with Factory Fit and Finish — Each bellcrank is manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards, ensuring perfect fitment with your RC vehicle's existing steering system. There's no need for modifications or adjustments—these parts drop in and work perfectly from day one, reflecting the factory-quality engineering you'd expect from an authorised Traxxas component.
• Silky-Smooth Turning Action — The hard-anodised finish allows the bellcranks to pivot precisely with minimal friction, resulting in smooth, responsive steering that translates your control input directly to your RC vehicle's wheels. This precision is crucial for accurate driving whether you're navigating tight corners or executing complex manoeuvres.
• Complete Hardware and Bearing Package Included — Rather than hunting for individual components, Traxxas supplies everything you need in one package: quality ball bearings in both sizes and all necessary fasteners with threadlock pre-applied for security and convenience.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas steering bellcranks represent the engineering excellence that RC enthusiasts across the UK have come to expect from the brand. Machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminium, they offer significantly higher strength-to-weight ratios than plastic steering components, meaning your RC vehicle's steering will remain responsive and precise even during aggressive driving or after many hours of use. The hard-anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic—it's a functional upgrade that provides a protective oxide layer resistant to corrosion, salt spray, and the general wear associated with outdoor RC use. The brilliant green anodised finish ensures all bellcranks maintain their colour and appearance over extended periods, even when exposed to sunlight and UV radiation. The package includes four threaded fasteners (3x13mm stainless steel and 3x12mm ball cap socket screws with threadlock already applied) and four precision ball bearings: two 5x8x2.5mm bearings and two 5x10x4mm ball bearings. These bearings enable the bellcranks to pivot with minimal friction, providing the smooth turning action that distinguishes a well-engineered steering system. The compatibility list spans multiple Mini series Traxxas RC vehicles including the Mini Maxx BL-2S in green, blue, black and orange variants, the Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 in red, blue, grey, and standard finishes, the Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR short course truck in pink, green, yellow and orange, and the Mini XRT VXL-3S in green, orange, red and blue options.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these bellcranks compatible with my RC vehicle? — These steering bellcranks are designed for Traxxas Mini series vehicles, including the Mini Maxx BL-2S in all colour variants (green, blue, black, orange), the Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 in red, blue, grey and standard finishes, the Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR short course truck in pink, green, yellow and orange options, and the Mini XRT VXL-3S in green, orange, red and blue colours. If you own one of these specific Traxxas mini-scale RC vehicles, these bellcranks are the correct upgrade.
• What's the difference between these aluminium bellcranks and the standard plastic ones? — Aluminium bellcranks offer substantially greater strength and durability than plastic components, resisting flex and fatigue that can develop in plastic parts over time. The hard-anodised surface provides a smooth, precise pivot point with minimal friction, resulting in more responsive steering feel. Aluminium components also look more professional and are more resistant to UV damage and corrosion, making them an ideal upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who want their vehicles to look and perform at their best.
• Do these come with everything needed for installation? — Yes, these bellcranks come complete with all hardware and ball bearings you need. The fasteners come pre-coated with threadlock for security, so you won't have to source additional components or apply threadlock separately. You'll only need basic RC tools and your compatible Traxxas Mini vehicle to complete installation.
• Will these improve my RC vehicle's steering response? — Yes, these aluminium bellcranks will noticeably improve steering precision and response compared to plastic alternatives. The hard-anodised finish allows the bellcranks to pivot with minimal friction, and the rigid aluminium construction eliminates the flex that can occur in plastic components. This results in crisper, more direct steering that translates your control inputs more accurately to your RC vehicle's wheels, whether you're navigating tight turns on a racing circuit or bashing through rough terrain.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — While the bellcranks themselves are straightforward to install with basic RC knowledge and tools, they are considered an upgrade component rather than a beginner-level purchase. If you're new to RC vehicles, you may want to become familiar with your stock Mini vehicle first before upgrading steering components. However, once you're comfortable with basic RC maintenance and repairs, these bellcranks make an excellent upgrade that will significantly enhance your vehicle's performance and appearance.
• How do the included ball bearings contribute to performance? — The package includes two different sizes of precision ball bearings (5x8x2.5mm and 5x10x4mm) that enable smooth, frictionless rotation of the bellcrank pivot points. These bearings are critical to achieving the silky-smooth turning action advertised by Traxxas. Higher-quality, precision bearings mean less friction, faster response to steering input, and less wear on the bellcrank components over extended use.
