Overview
Replace the flexy plastic stock steering on your Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 with the Hot Racing CNC 6061 Aluminum Steering Bellcranks and Drag Link Set. CNC-machined from solid 6061 aluminum and finished in a clean black anodized coating, this direct-replacement steering kit upgrades the Traxxas 8343 plastic bellcrank assembly with rigid aluminum components — exactly what's needed for sharp, precise on-road steering response.
The bellcranks ride on smooth-running ball bearings for consistent, slop-free pivot action, while the aluminum construction eliminates the flex that plagues stock plastic bellcranks under high cornering loads. A foundational upgrade for any 4-Tec 2.0 driver who values precision steering on the asphalt.
