Overview
Replace the flexy plastic stock steering on your Traxxas Bandit, Rustler, or Slash 2WD with the Hot Racing CNC 6061 Aluminum Steering Bellcranks and Carbon Fiber Drag Link Set. CNC-machined from solid 6061 aluminum and finished in a clean black anodized coating with chamfered edges, this complete steering kit pairs aluminum bellcranks with a true 2.5mm carbon fiber drag link — combining the rigidity of aluminum with the lightweight strength of motorsport-grade carbon fiber.
Brass bushings on the carbon fiber drag link provide smooth, slop-free articulation, while ball bearings on the bellcranks ensure consistent pivot action under load. The result is a noticeably sharper, more precise steering feel than the stock plastic system can deliver.
