Overview
Eliminate steering slop and bring race-grade precision to your Traxxas X-Maxx with the Hot Racing CNC Aluminum Steering Link Set. CNC-machined from solid 6061 aluminum and finished in a clean black anodized coating, these direct-replacement steering linkages are built to handle the massive loads the X-Maxx puts through its steering system on every aggressive throttle stab and hard cornering line.
Each link uses precision steel pivot balls for smooth, repeatable motion under load — exactly what you want when you're driving an 8S monster truck that can break fragile factory plastic linkages with very little provocation. Bolt them on once and enjoy a sharper, more reliable steering feel for the life of the vehicle.
Key Features
- CNC-machined 6061 aluminum construction
- Black anodized finish for corrosion resistance and clean looks
- Precision steel pivot balls for smooth, slop-free articulation
- Direct replacement for stock X-Maxx plastic steering linkages
- Set of two — covers both steering links
Performance Benefits
- Sharper, more responsive steering input
- Eliminates the flex and slop of the stock plastic linkage
- Survives the high steering loads generated by 8S brushless power
- Long service life — won't bend or strip like factory plastic links
- Cleaner steering geometry under hard cornering
Usage Notes
Recommended to use a removable thread-locking adhesive on any screws threading into metal. Verify steering geometry and re-center your servo after installation. Inspect pivot balls periodically and replace any that show wear or excessive play.
