Technical Performance
The Fastrax Mini Maxx 7075 Aluminium Complete Steering Set delivers a significant performance uplift over standard plastic steering components. The 7075 aluminium alloy used throughout this set is the same premium material trusted by professional RC racing teams across the world, offering superior strength characteristics that resist flex and deflection during aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres. When you're pushing your Mini Maxx to its limits on the track or during weekend bashing sessions, steering precision becomes absolutely critical—any flex in the steering linkage translates directly to imprecise handling and slower lap times. By upgrading to this aluminium set, you eliminate that flex entirely, resulting in steering that responds instantly to your transmitter inputs. The engineering quality is immediately apparent when you hold these components in your hand; the finish is clean, the fitment is perfect, and the attention to detail reflects Fastrax's reputation as a manufacturer of upgrade parts for the serious RC hobbyist. For Mini Maxx owners in the UK who've been running their cars for a while, this is the logical upgrade path to maintain and improve performance as standard parts wear. The compatibility across all colour variants of the Mini Maxx BL-2S (Green, Blue, Black and Orange) means that regardless of which version you own, this steering set will integrate perfectly without requiring any modification or workarounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax Mini Maxx Steering Set compatible with my Traxxas Mini Maxx? — Yes, this steering set is fully compatible with all Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S models, including the Green (TRX107154-1-GRN), Blue (TRX107154-1-BLUE), Black (TRX107154-1-BLK) and Orange (TRX107154-1-ORNG) variants. If you own any of these models, this steering set will fit perfectly without modification.
- What makes 7075 aluminium better than plastic steering components? — 7075 aluminium offers significantly greater rigidity and strength compared to the plastic steering components fitted to most stock RC cars. This means less flex during cornering, more precise steering response, improved handling consistency, and components that will last longer even under heavy use. For competitive RC drivers and serious bashers, upgrading to aluminium steering components is one of the most cost-effective performance improvements available.
- Will I need any special tools to install this steering set? — Most RC hobbyists will have the basic tools needed for installation, typically including hex wrenches (Allen keys) and standard screwdrivers. The installation process is straightforward enough that anyone with basic RC maintenance experience can complete it in an afternoon. If you're new to working on RC cars, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance.
- How much of a performance difference will I notice? — After upgrading to this aluminium steering set, you'll notice improved steering response, more precise control inputs, and reduced understeer caused by steering flex. Your Mini Maxx will feel noticeably more planted and responsive, particularly noticeable during fast cornering, acceleration out of turns and high-speed direction changes. Whether you're racing or bashing, the improvement is immediately apparent.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While this is an upgrade component rather than a beginner's package, the installation process is straightforward enough for someone with basic RC knowledge and tools. If you're just starting out with RC cars, you might first want to become familiar with your stock Mini Maxx before upgrading. However, once you're comfortable with basic maintenance, this is an excellent first upgrade to undertake.
- What is the difference between this and similar steering upgrade sets? — Fastrax is a recognised manufacturer specialising in precision upgrade components for popular RC models. This complete steering set offers excellent value by providing all steering components in a single package, eliminating the need to source parts individually, and ensuring compatibility between all components.
