Overview
The Traxxas Toe links, X-Maxx (Tubes Orange-anodised, 7075-T6 aluminium, stronger than Titanium) represent premium suspension tuning components for your Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck. These aren't just any toe links — they're engineered from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium using Traxxas's proprietary TUBES hollow design technology, making them lighter than steel while delivering superior strength compared to titanium. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your RC car UK setup or a weekend basher looking to upgrade your suspension geometry, these aluminium toe links offer the perfect balance of performance and durability. The brilliant orange anodised finish ensures your X-Maxx looks as good as it performs, while the engineering inside delivers measurable improvements in handling and precision.
For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking to optimise their Traxxas X-Maxx performance, these TUBES toe links are an essential upgrade. The unique hollow tube construction maximises rigidity whilst reducing weight — a critical engineering principle that translates directly to improved steering response and cornering precision. At 157mm (centre to centre), they're specifically designed for WideMaxx suspension systems and come fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls, meaning you can install them straight out of the box without additional components or tools beyond what's included.
These suspension components are perfect for anyone running a brushless RC monster truck and wanting to dial in their handling characteristics. The included 10mm aluminium wrench prevents marring of the anodised finish during adjustment, showing Traxxas's attention to detail. A machined groove on the toe links identifies the left-hand threads, eliminating any guesswork during installation and adjustment.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — Made from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, these toe links are stronger than titanium whilst remaining lighter than steel, delivering the optimal strength-to-weight ratio for precision RC suspension tuning on your X-Maxx.
- Unique Hollow Tube Design — The secret to the TUBES range lies in their hollow tube construction, which maximises rigidity whilst reducing overall weight, resulting in improved handling response and faster steering input reaction times.
- Brilliant Orange Anodised Finish — Beyond aesthetics, the anodised coating provides protection against corrosion and wear, ensuring your RC car UK investment maintains its appearance and functionality through countless runs and adjustments.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends — These toe links come fully assembled with rod ends and steel hollow balls already installed, eliminating the need for separate component sourcing and allowing immediate installation on your X-Maxx suspension.
- Machined Groove for Left-Hand Threads — A clearly visible machined groove identifies which toe link has left-hand threads, preventing installation errors and ensuring correct geometry adjustment without confusion.
- Included Aluminium Wrench — The 10mm aluminium wrench provided in the package prevents marring the anodised finish when adjusting turnbuckles, protecting your investment's appearance and ensuring smooth, damage-free adjustments.
- Centre to Centre Length: 157mm — Precisely engineered at 157mm, these toe links are specifically dimensioned for Traxxas X-Maxx WideMaxx suspension systems, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal suspension geometry.
- Quantity: 2 Per Package — Each package includes two toe links (one pair), providing everything needed to upgrade both sides of your X-Maxx suspension.
Technical Performance
These TUBES toe links represent a significant engineering advancement in RC suspension tuning. The 7075-T6 aluminium alloy is aerospace-grade material, chosen specifically for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to fatigue cracking under the repeated stress cycles inherent in high-performance RC driving. The hollow tube design isn't simply a weight-saving measure — it's a carefully engineered solution that maintains torsional rigidity whilst reducing rotational mass, which has a cascading positive effect on your X-Maxx's steering precision, cornering speed, and overall handling feel. The material science behind these components means they'll maintain their performance characteristics through thousands of adjustment cycles without stripping or deforming, making them ideal for competitive drivers who frequently tune their suspension geometry. The pre-assembled rod ends with steel hollow balls ensure smooth articulation through the full range of suspension travel, whilst the anodised finish provides corrosion resistance against dirt, moisture, and the elements encountered during off-road RC car UK adventures. At 157mm centre to centre, these dimensions are precisely calculated for WideMaxx suspension geometry, directly affecting your X-Maxx's handling characteristics, anti-squat, and overall suspension tune.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these toe links compatible with all Traxxas X-Maxx models? — These TUBES toe links (TRX7748-ORNG) are specifically compatible with all Traxxas X-Maxx models featuring WideMaxx suspension, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck in Red, Green, Orange, and Blue variants, as well as the X-Maxx Ultimate models. If you own an X-Maxx with WideMaxx suspension, these will fit and perform perfectly.
- What makes aluminium toe links better than composite options? — Whilst composite toe links are lighter, these 7075-T6 aluminium TUBES offer superior strength and rigidity, making them ideal for serious drivers who want precision handling and durability. The hollow tube design delivers aluminium's benefits whilst matching composite weight savings, offering the best of both worlds.
- How do I know which toe link has left-hand threads? — Each TUBES toe link features a machined groove that clearly identifies which one has left-hand threads, eliminating confusion during installation and ensuring you install them correctly the first time.
- Do I need any additional tools to install these toe links? — The 10mm aluminium wrench included in the package is specifically designed to adjust the turnbuckles on these toe links. No additional tools are required beyond standard RC hobby tools for removing and installing the toe links on your X-Maxx suspension.
- What is the difference between TUBES and other toe link options for the X-Maxx? — TUBES are the premium option, engineered from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium with a unique hollow design that's stronger than titanium yet lighter than steel. They come pre-assembled with rod ends and include an aluminium wrench, offering a complete, professional-grade solution with superior rigidity and precision handling characteristics.
- Are these suitable for competitive racing or casual bashing? — These TUBES toe links excel in both applications. Competitive drivers appreciate the precision and rigidity for dialling in exact suspension geometry, whilst weekend bashers benefit from the durability and pre-assembled convenience. The high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium handles the demands of either driving style.
- Will the anodised finish last through repeated adjustments? — The anodised finish is durable and corrosion-resistant, and the included aluminium wrench is specifically designed to prevent marring during turnbuckle adjustments. With normal care, the finish will maintain its appearance and protective properties through countless adjustments.
