Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these bellcranks offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio whilst maintaining the precision tolerances essential for accurate steering response in competitive RC racing and recreational driving.
- Blue-Anodised Finish — The brilliant anodised surface provides multiple benefits: it delivers striking visual appeal that complements your RC build, offers superior corrosion resistance against moisture and salt, and provides hard-wearing protection against impacts and scratches during intense RC driving sessions.
- 5x8mm Ball Bearings on Steering Posts — These precision ball bearings eliminate friction and stiction in the steering mechanism, delivering silky-smooth turning action that translates directly to improved steering precision, reduced servo wear, and longer component lifespan even with frequent use.
- Laser-Etched Traxxas Logo — The professional laser etching identifies these as genuine Traxxas components and adds a premium detail that demonstrates quality engineering and attention to detail throughout the assembly.
- Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install — Unlike components requiring assembly, these bellcranks arrive fully assembled with all bearings pre-fitted, allowing for quick installation with minimal tools and detailed instructions included in the package.
- Reduced Friction Performance — The precision ball bearing design minimises friction in the steering linkage, resulting in faster steering response, reduced servo current draw, and improved overall handling characteristics that benefit both racing and bashing.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas steering bellcrank posts represent a significant engineering advancement in RC steering systems. The choice of 6061-T6 aluminium delivers the ideal balance between weight savings and structural rigidity—critical for maintaining steering geometry under the dynamic loads experienced during aggressive RC driving. The 5x8mm ball bearings integrated into the steering posts are precision components typically found in competition-grade RC equipment, ensuring that friction is minimised across the entire steering assembly. This design philosophy means that steering input from your transmitter translates more directly to chassis response, eliminating the dead zone and sluggish feel often associated with worn or inferior steering components. The anodising process not only creates the attractive blue colour but also hardens the aluminium surface, making these components substantially more durable than bare metal alternatives. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance, whether racing at your local RC track or bashing in muddy conditions, these bellcranks provide measurable improvements in steering precision and component longevity. The bearing arrangement specifically addresses one of the most common wear points in RC vehicles—the steering pivot—ensuring that your RC car maintains consistent steering feel throughout extended driving sessions rather than experiencing progressive degradation as components wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these blue-anodised bellcranks improve my RC steering response? — Yes, significantly. The 5x8mm ball bearings integrated into the steering posts eliminate friction that accumulates in standard components, delivering noticeably smoother and more responsive steering feel. You'll experience reduced deadzone in steering inputs, faster turn-in response, and more precise directional control whether you're racing competitively or bashing recreationally. This is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make to any RC car's handling characteristics.
- Are these bellcranks suitable for off-road bashing as well as track racing? — Absolutely. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction and precision bearings make these components ideal for both applications. The hard anodised finish provides excellent protection against moisture, mud, and impacts during aggressive off-road driving. Many UK RC bashers choose these as standard upgrades to improve steering reliability during high-impact usage.
- Do these bellcranks require any special installation tools or expertise? — No. These are pre-assembled units that install using standard RC tools and basic mechanical knowledge. Detailed instructions are included in the package, making installation straightforward even for RC hobbyists with moderate experience. The simplicity of installation is a major advantage over component-level alternatives.
- What is the difference between these blue bellcranks and standard Traxxas steering components? — The primary advantages are the precision 5x8mm ball bearings (which eliminate friction), the 6061-T6 aluminium construction (which offers superior durability and precision compared to plastic alternatives), the hard anodised finish (which provides corrosion and wear resistance), and the pre-assembled design. Together, these improvements deliver measurable performance gains in steering precision and component longevity.
- Will the blue colour match my RC car? — The blue-anodised finish is designed to coordinate with select Traxxas chassis colour variants. Check your vehicle's colour against the product images to ensure colour compatibility. The anodised finish provides a rich, deep blue that typically complements matching colour themes within Traxxas model ranges.
- How long do these bellcranks typically last with regular use? — The precision ball bearings and 6061-T6 aluminium construction provide exceptional durability. With normal maintenance and use, these components typically outlast standard steering assemblies by a significant margin. The anodised finish protects against corrosion and wear, extending the service life further.
