Key Features

• Milled from 6061-T6 Aluminium — This high-grade aluminium alloy is renowned in precision engineering for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability, ensuring your servo horn can handle the stresses of aggressive driving whilst remaining lightweight enough not to slow down your servo response.
• Double-Shear Design — The engineering of this servo horn provides enhanced structural integrity and reliability compared to single-shear alternatives, meaning it distributes steering loads more effectively and resists bending or flex under hard cornering or aggressive driving conditions.
• Brilliant Hard-Anodised Red Finish — Beyond aesthetics, the hard-anodized finish creates a protective layer that reduces friction and wear on the pivot points, enabling precise steering geometry to be maintained throughout your driving sessions and extending component lifespan significantly.
• Perfect Upgrade for High-Power Servos — Modern high-torque servo upgrades demand robust steering components that can handle increased force without deflection, and this servo horn is engineered specifically to work with upgraded servos, preventing the servo horn flex that can compromise steering accuracy with standard components.
• Compatible with Upgraded Bellcranks — This servo horn integrates perfectly with the upgraded 7746 and 7843 aluminium bellcranks, allowing you to build a complete high-performance steering system where every component works in harmony for maximum precision and reliability.
• Genuine Traxxas Factory Fit — Made by Traxxas engineers for Traxxas vehicles, this component guarantees perfect fitment and finish, eliminating the uncertainty of third-party alternatives and ensuring your steering system performs exactly as intended by the original designers.
• Fits XRT and X-Maxx Models — Whether you own a standard X-Maxx, X-Maxx Ultimate, XRT, or Ultimate XRT, this servo horn is engineered to deliver factory-spec performance across the entire range of compatible models, including the high-powered 8S brushless versions that demand premium components.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX7747-RED servo horn represents the pinnacle of steering component engineering for serious RC truck drivers. Machined from tough 6061-T6 aluminium, this component delivers the precision, strength and durability required for high-power upgraded servos that are increasingly common in the modern RC scene. The material choice is critical — 6061-T6 offers superior machinability for the precise shaping required in servo horns, whilst maintaining excellent mechanical properties that resist bending and premature wear. The hard-anodized finish is not merely decorative; it creates a protective oxide layer that dramatically reduces friction between the servo horn pivot and connecting components, translating directly into smoother steering response and more predictable handling characteristics. For drivers running 8S brushless setups like the X-Maxx Ultimate or XRT Ultimate, where servo torque demands are at their absolute peak, the structural integrity of this aluminium servo horn becomes critical — standard plastic or weaker metal alternatives simply cannot handle the forces involved without deflecting, which causes vague steering and compromises control precision. The double-shear design philosophy ensures that load paths through the steering system are optimized, distributing force across the component in a manner that maximizes strength whilst minimizing weight. When integrated with compatible 7746 and 7843 aluminium bellcranks, you create a steering system where every single component is engineered to the highest standards, delivering the crisp, responsive steering feel that serious RC drivers demand. This is the difference between competent steering and truly exceptional steering — and it's a difference you'll feel immediately when pushing your RC truck to its limits on UK tracks and trails.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this servo horn compatible with my X-Maxx or XRT? — Yes, the Traxxas TRX7747-RED servo horn is engineered for full compatibility with X-Maxx, X-Maxx Ultimate, XRT, and Ultimate XRT models. It integrates seamlessly with upgraded 7746 and 7843 aluminium bellcranks, making it an ideal choice for those upgrading their steering system. Being a genuine Traxxas part guarantees perfect factory fit across all compatible models.
• Will this servo horn work with my high-power servo upgrade? — Absolutely. This servo horn is specifically designed as the perfect upgrade for high-power upgraded servos, which generate significantly more torque than standard servos. The robust 6061-T6 aluminium construction and double-shear design ensure it can handle the increased forces without flex or bending, maintaining precise steering geometry even under extreme driving conditions or aggressive racing.
• What makes this better than standard plastic servo horns? — The 6061-T6 aluminium construction is vastly superior to plastic in terms of structural integrity, durability and precision. Aluminium servo horns do not deflect under load like plastic alternatives, meaning your steering geometry remains consistent and your steering input translates directly to wheel movement without the vagueness or slop common with plastic components. The hard-anodized finish also reduces friction for smoother operation.
• Is the red-anodised finish just for looks? — While the brilliant red colour certainly enhances the appearance of your RC truck, the hard-anodized finish is fundamentally engineered for performance. The anodized layer creates a protective coating that reduces wear and friction at pivot points, enabling the servo horn to maintain precise steering action throughout extended driving sessions and prolonging the lifespan of both the servo horn and connected components.
• What bellcranks should I pair this with? — For optimal compatibility and performance, Traxxas recommends pairing the TRX7747-RED servo horn with the upgraded 7746 or 7843 aluminium bellcranks. This combination creates a high-performance steering system where every component is engineered to work together, delivering the precision and reliability demanded by serious RC drivers upgrading their vehicles.
• Will this fit my standard X-Maxx or do I need the Ultimate version? — The TRX7747-RED servo horn is compatible with both standard and Ultimate versions of both the X-Maxx and XRT models, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S models in all colour options. Whether you own a red, blue, orange, or green version, this servo horn will integrate seamlessly.
