Overview
The Traxxas Toe links, E-Revo VXL (Tubes Blue-anodised, 7075-T6 aluminium) represent a premium upgrade option for your E-Revo VXL RC car. These 144mm toe links are engineered from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, a material that delivers exceptional strength whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel. The innovative hollow tube design is the key to their performance advantage — this unique construction maximises rigidity and structural integrity whilst simultaneously reducing overall weight, giving your E-Revo VXL better handling characteristics and improved responsiveness on the track or trail. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your E-Revo VXL for maximum performance, or an enthusiast basher looking to upgrade your RC car UK setup with premium components, these Traxxas toe links deliver the quality and precision you expect from a brand recognised as the leader in RC innovation.
Finished in an eye-catching blue anodised coating, these toe links don't just perform exceptionally — they also look fantastic on your E-Revo VXL. The brilliant anodised finish provides extra style whilst offering additional surface protection. Each pair comes fully assembled with eight steel hollow ball rod ends, ensuring you have everything needed for installation. A machined groove clearly identifies the left-hand threads, preventing confusion during setup and adjustment. The package also includes a dedicated 10mm aluminium wrench, specifically designed to help prevent marring and damage to the anodised finish when adjusting your suspension turnbuckles.
For anyone serious about their RC car hobby in the UK, maintaining and upgrading suspension components like toe links is essential for achieving optimal handling and keeping your vehicle performing at its best. These Traxxas toe links represent an investment in quality, durability and precision engineering that will reward you with improved performance and longevity.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — Made from premium-grade aerospace-specification aluminium, these toe links are stronger than titanium whilst remaining substantially lighter than steel alternatives, delivering superior strength-to-weight ratio for enhanced suspension performance and faster response times in your RC car.
- Hollow Tube Design — The unique hollow tube construction is engineered to maximise rigidity whilst minimising weight, creating the perfect balance between structural integrity and performance that competitive racers and serious bashers demand.
- Blue Anodised Finish — The brilliant blue anodised coating provides exceptional visual appeal to complement your E-Revo VXL's appearance, whilst simultaneously offering enhanced protection against corrosion and wear during regular use.
- 144mm Length (Centre to Centre) — Precisely engineered to the correct specification for E-Revo VXL models, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal suspension geometry for consistent handling and predictable vehicle behaviour.
- Steel Hollow Ball Rod Ends — Each pair includes eight steel hollow ball rod ends that provide smooth articulation and reliable suspension movement, essential for maintaining consistent handling characteristics throughout your driving session.
- Machined Left-Hand Thread Groove — A clearly visible machined groove identifies the left-hand threads, eliminating guesswork during installation and adjustment and helping you achieve proper suspension setup on your first attempt.
- Included 10mm Aluminium Wrench — The dedicated aluminium wrench is specifically designed to prevent marring and damage to the anodised finish when adjusting turnbuckles, protecting your investment in premium components.

Technical Performance
These Traxxas toe links represent the pinnacle of suspension component engineering. Manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, they offer exceptional strength characteristics comparable to or exceeding titanium in specific applications, whilst delivering substantial weight savings compared to traditional steel toe links. The hollow tube design is the engineering masterstroke — by strategically removing material from the centre whilst optimising the wall thickness, Traxxas has created a component that is simultaneously lighter and stiffer than solid alternatives. This results in more responsive suspension geometry adjustments and improved overall vehicle handling. The 144mm centre-to-centre length is precisely engineered for E-Revo VXL models, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal suspension geometry. The eight steel hollow ball rod ends provide the articulation required for smooth suspension movement whilst maintaining the rigidity necessary for predictable handling. The brilliant blue anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic — anodising creates a hard oxide layer that provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability, protecting your investment against the wear and tear of regular RC car usage. The included 10mm aluminium wrench is specifically sized to work with these toe links, and its aluminium construction ensures you won't accidentally damage or scratch the anodised finish during adjustment. For competitive racers and serious enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their E-Revo VXL's suspension geometry, these toe links enable precise toe-in adjustments that can significantly impact handling characteristics, traction and overall performance on varying terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these toe links compatible with my E-Revo VXL RC car? — Yes, these Traxxas Toe links are specifically engineered for the E-Revo VXL model. The 144mm centre-to-centre length is precisely matched to this vehicle's suspension geometry. Always verify model compatibility before purchasing suspension components to ensure proper fitment and performance.
- What is the advantage of 7075-T6 aluminium over steel? — 7075-T6 aluminium is stronger than titanium in many applications whilst being significantly lighter than steel. This superior strength-to-weight ratio results in faster suspension response, improved handling characteristics and reduced overall vehicle weight, all contributing to better performance whether you're racing or bashing your RC car UK setup.
- Why is the hollow tube design important? — The hollow tube design maximises rigidity whilst minimising weight through strategic engineering. By removing weight from the centre whilst optimising wall thickness, these toe links deliver stiffness comparable to or exceeding solid alternatives, whilst being substantially lighter. This results in more responsive vehicle behaviour and quicker suspension articulation.
- Will the blue anodised finish scratch easily? — The anodised finish is hard and durable, providing excellent protection against corrosion and wear. However, like all anodised finishes, it can be scratched through impact or abrasion. The included 10mm aluminium wrench helps prevent marring during adjustment by avoiding damage from steel tools that might scratch the surface.
- What are the steel hollow ball rod ends for? — The eight steel hollow ball rod ends provide the articulation points that allow the toe links to move smoothly as part of your E-Revo VXL's suspension system. They create a ball joint connection that permits angular movement whilst maintaining structural integrity, essential for consistent handling and suspension performance.
- How often should I replace my toe links? — Toe links should be inspected regularly for damage, bending or wear. If you notice any bending, cracks or loss of adjustment holding capability, they should be replaced. Premium 7075-T6 aluminium components like these Traxxas toe links are highly durable and, with proper care and reasonable usage, will provide extended service life compared to lower-specification alternatives.
- Can I use these for adjustment of toe-in geometry on my E-Revo VXL? — Yes, these toe links are specifically designed to enable toe-in adjustments on your E-Revo VXL. The turnbuckle design allows for precise length adjustments, permitting you to fine-tune your vehicle's front or rear suspension geometry to optimise handling for different track conditions, driving styles or terrain types.
- What is the difference between these and standard steel toe links? — Traxxas Tubes offer multiple advantages over standard steel alternatives: superior strength-to-weight ratio through 7075-T6 aluminium construction, lighter weight for improved vehicle performance, hollow tube design for optimised rigidity, premium blue anodised finish for aesthetics and protection, and inclusion of quality steel hollow ball rod ends and dedicated aluminium wrench. The engineering sophistication delivers measurable performance improvements.
