AVID RC’s Aluminum Steering Bellcranks have been updated! Originally milled from 6061-T6 aluminum, AVID switched over to a stronger 7075-T6 for the left bellcrank to boost the performance and reduce flex, especially when used in a 1:10 Stadium (or Short Course) Truck. They are then anodized black with silver-edge highlights and include a pair of aluminum crush tubes.

These bellcranks will work with a the B5-series vehicles – B5, B5M, T5M and SC5M – and weigh in at 8.5g. A must part for any serious racer that wants to reduce flex and attain an extremely positive steering feel.
