Traxxas Maxx Ultra-High-Torque 46kg 6V Waterproof Metal Gear Digital Servo Blue 2085RL

Upgrade your Traxxas RC truck's steering performance with the genuine Traxxas 2085RL Maxx Ultra-High-Torque Waterproof Metal Gear Digital Servo. Engineered for demanding large-scale RC applications, this powerful steering servo delivers approximately 46kg-cm (650 oz-in) of torque at 6V, providing the steering authority needed for oversized tyres, challenging terrain and aggressive off-road driving.

The Traxxas 2085RL combines a full steel gear drivetrain with precision ball bearings and a blue anodised aluminium centre case featuring cooling fins. Its robust construction is designed to withstand the steering loads generated by heavy RC trucks, while its waterproof housing supports operation in suitable wet and muddy conditions.

With a fast 0.13-second transit time per 60 degrees at 6V, the 2085RL delivers a combination of high torque and responsive steering. It is compatible with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) when installed in a properly configured compatible vehicle.

Designed for Traxxas Maxx-size servo mounting systems, the 2085RL is suitable for selected Maxx, Maxx Slash, X-Maxx, XRT and other compatible X-Series vehicles. It is not a direct-fit replacement for a standard-size servo mount.

High-Torque Steering Performance

The Traxxas 2085RL delivers approximately 650 oz-in of torque at 6V, making it suitable for demanding steering applications on large-scale Traxxas trucks. This additional torque helps turn large tyres under load, including during slow-speed manoeuvring and off-road driving.

Its digital electronics provide a specified transit speed of 0.13 seconds per 60 degrees at 6V, delivering responsive steering when correctly installed and powered.

Steel Gears and Aluminium Construction

Full steel gears are designed to handle demanding steering loads, while ball bearings support the internal drivetrain. The blue anodised aluminium centre housing features cooling fins that assist heat dissipation during operation.

The servo is built around Traxxas' larger Maxx-size mounting format and requires the correct vehicle-specific mounting hardware.
