Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from premium aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, these toe links are significantly stronger than standard 6061 aluminium and actually stronger than titanium alternatives, yet they remain lightweight for improved performance and reduced unsprung mass on your RC monster truck.
- Brilliant Green Anodised Finish — The professional-grade anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal with its striking green colour and practical protection against corrosion and wear, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance through intensive bashing sessions.
- Hollow Tube Design — The innovative hollow tube construction maximises structural rigidity whilst minimising weight, a design principle that allows these links to absorb impacts whilst maintaining precise geometry for responsive steering and suspension action.
- Lighter Than Steel, Stronger Than Titanium — At just 144mm length (centre to centre), these toe links deliver the strength of titanium options without the weight penalty of traditional steel pushrods, directly improving your E-Revo VXL's performance characteristics across all terrain types.
- Includes Eight Steel Hollow Ball Rod Ends — Each package contains eight precision-engineered steel hollow balls with rod end assemblies, providing complete coverage for both front and rear toe link installations with spares included.
- Machined Identification Groove — A carefully machined groove clearly identifies left-hand threads, eliminating confusion during installation and ensuring correct geometric setup for optimal suspension performance.
- Precision 10mm Aluminium Wrench Included — The included machined aluminium wrench prevents marring of anodised surfaces when adjusting turnbuckles, protecting your investment and maintaining the professional appearance of your upgrade.
- Competition-Grade Performance — Designed to complement the E-Revo VXL's factory Heavy Duty suspension arms and GTR shocks, these TUBES links form part of Traxxas's premium suspension upgrade path for serious RC enthusiasts and competitors.
- Complete Installation Kit — Everything arrives pre-assembled and ready to install, with full instructions including detailed illustrations and toe link settings for both front and rear applications on your E-Revo VXL.
- Enhanced Suspension Responsiveness — The reduced weight and improved precision of these aluminium toe links directly contribute to more responsive suspension action, translating to better grip, quicker weight transfer, and superior cornering performance during high-speed runs.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TUBES toe links represent the cutting edge of suspension engineering for the E-Revo VXL platform. Manufactured from 7075-T6 aluminium—a premium alloy specification significantly stronger than standard 6061-grade aluminium—these components deliver exceptional durability combined with measurable weight savings. The engineering philosophy behind TUBES technology emphasises hybrid construction: lightweight aluminium tube bodies are married with steel threaded inserts, creating suspension components that combine the best properties of both materials. This hybrid approach ensures reliable thread longevity whilst maintaining the weight advantages of aluminium throughout the main structure. The 144mm length (centre to centre measurement) provides the correct geometry for E-Revo VXL front or rear installations, and the machined groove identifying left-hand threads ensures correct orientation during setup. The green anodised finish is not merely cosmetic—anodising provides a hardened oxide surface layer that resists corrosion, wear, and UV damage from outdoor UK bashing conditions. With eight steel hollow ball rod ends included per package, users gain complete flexibility in configuring toe link geometry whilst having spare assemblies for maintenance or experimentation. The precision-engineered hollow ball design minimises friction at suspension pivot points, directly contributing to more responsive steering inputs and improved overall handling characteristics. Professional RC competitors and serious weekend bashers alike recognise these TUBES toe links as essential upgrades that improve suspension action whilst adding distinctive visual customisation to their E-Revo VXL platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these toe links suitable for E-Revo VXL 2.0 and original E-Revo VXL models? — Yes, these TUBES toe links are designed specifically for the E-Revo VXL platform and are compatible with both original and 2.0 variant models. The 144mm length provides correct geometry for front or rear suspension installation on all E-Revo VXL variants.
- How much weight do these aluminium toe links save compared to stock steel components? — Whilst the manufacturer's upgrade guide highlights that 7075 aluminium PTFE-coated pivot balls and rocker posts combined trim just under two ounces from a truck compared to steel alternatives, the hollow tube design of TUBES links provides additional weight savings through their hybrid aluminium construction with steel threaded inserts.
- Why are these toe links stronger than titanium when made from aluminium? — The secret lies in the unique hollow tube design combined with 7075-T6 aluminium construction. This premium alloy is significantly stronger than standard 6061 aluminium, and the hollow tube architecture maximises rigidity through optimal load distribution whilst minimising weight. This hybrid design delivers strength exceeding solid titanium links without the associated weight penalty.
- What is the difference between these TUBES links and the stock steel toe links on my E-Revo VXL? — Stock E-Revo VXL models include basic steel pushrods and toe links. The TUBES upgrade offers multiple benefits: reduced weight for improved suspension responsiveness, the striking green anodised finish for visual customisation, premium 7075-T6 aluminium construction, and more precise engineering tolerances. The included steel hollow ball rod ends also provide superior pivot action compared to standard components.
- Do I need special tools to install these toe links? — The 10mm aluminium wrench is included in the package and provides everything necessary for installation and adjustment. You may also benefit from having a standard RC tool kit available, though the included wrench is specifically designed to prevent marring of the anodised finish during turnbuckle adjustment.
- Can I use these toe links for both front and rear suspension? — Yes, TUBES toe links are supplied in pairs and include enough rod ends (eight total) and adjustment capability to configure for either front or rear installation. The included instructions provide full-size illustrations and specific settings for both front and rear applications on your E-Revo VXL.
- Will green anodised toe links match my existing E-Revo VXL colour scheme? — The Traxxas E-Revo VXL upgrade path includes components in multiple anodised colours including red, blue, and green options. These green-anodised TUBES links coordinate beautifully with other green-anodised E-Revo VXL upgrade components available separately, or they provide striking contrast if your truck features alternative colour schemes.
- How often will I need to replace these toe links? — 7075-T6 aluminium with proper anodised protection is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion and wear. The primary wear item in suspension linkages is typically the rod end bearings rather than the main tube structure. The inclusion of eight steel hollow ball rod ends allows you to maintain your TUBES links through multiple seasons of active use.
