Overview
Elevate your Traxxas Sledge 6S with these premium front camber links from Traxxas, engineered to deliver superior strength and precise handling adjustments. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast in the UK looking to fine-tune your monster truck's suspension geometry or a weekend basher wanting to improve cornering performance, these TUBES camber links represent the pinnacle of aftermarket RC suspension components. The Sledge is already an impressive 1/8 scale brushless electric monster truck, but upgrading to quality suspension components like these front camber links is essential for maximising its potential on varied terrain.
These 117mm front camber links are manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, a material that's actually stronger than titanium despite being significantly lighter. This exceptional strength-to-weight ratio is achieved through Traxxas's proprietary hollow tube design, which maximises rigidity whilst dramatically reducing overall weight compared to solid steel alternatives. Available in a striking red anodised finish, these camber links aren't just functional upgrades—they add genuine visual style to your RC car whilst delivering measurable performance improvements. The brilliant anodised finish provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance and functionality through countless bashing sessions.
As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks this essential Sledge upgrade to help UK RC enthusiasts get the absolute best from their vehicles. Proper suspension tuning using quality components like these TUBES camber links allows you to dial in the perfect wheel alignment for your preferred driving style, whether that's high-speed racing circuits, rocky terrain, or competitive off-road courses.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — Made from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy that is proven to be stronger than titanium, these camber links provide exceptional strength whilst keeping weight to an absolute minimum, which directly translates to improved acceleration, deceleration and overall vehicle responsiveness.
- Hollow Tube Design — The unique hollow tube construction maximises structural rigidity without adding unnecessary weight, creating the perfect balance between durability and performance that serious RC enthusiasts demand from their suspension components.
- Red Anodised Finish — The brilliant red anodised coating provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance whilst adding striking visual appeal to your Sledge, ensuring these camber links maintain their appearance through intensive use in challenging RC environments.
- Pre-Assembled Rod Ends — Come ready to install with four steel hollow ball rod ends already assembled, eliminating fiddly assembly work and ensuring precision engineering from Traxxas directly in your hands, reducing installation time and potential assembly errors.
- Precision 117mm Length — Measured centre to centre at exactly 117mm, these camber links are engineered to the exacting specifications required by the Sledge platform, ensuring perfect alignment geometry and maximum suspension performance.
- Included 8mm Aluminium Wrench — The purpose-designed 8mm aluminium wrench prevents marring of the anodised finish whilst you adjust turnbuckle settings, allowing you to fine-tune camber angles without cosmetic damage to your expensive suspension components.
- Left-Hand Thread Identification — A machined groove on the left-hand threads clearly identifies which end requires counter-clockwise rotation, eliminating guesswork and ensuring correct assembly the first time, even for RC enthusiasts new to suspension tuning.
Technical Performance
These TUBES front camber links represent the cutting edge of RC suspension engineering for the Sledge 6S platform. Manufactured from premium 7075-T6 aluminium—the same material specification used in aerospace applications—these components deliver uncompromising strength whilst maintaining minimal weight. The hollow tube design is the secret to their superiority over conventional solid links; by strategically removing material from the centre whilst maintaining outer wall thickness, Traxxas engineers have created a component that actually weighs less than comparable steel designs whilst exhibiting superior torsional rigidity. This means your Sledge's suspension can respond more quickly to terrain changes, and the wheels maintain better contact with the ground through aggressive cornering and jumps.
The pre-assembled steel hollow ball rod ends are critical to performance; they allow smooth angular movement whilst maintaining zero slop, essential for precise steering response and predictable handling. The 117mm centre-to-centre measurement is specifically engineered for the Sledge's suspension geometry, ensuring that when you adjust camber angle using these links, the changes translate directly into improved tyre contact patch and handling characteristics. Whether you're dialling in negative camber for high-speed cornering grip or adjusting for particular terrain conditions, these TUBES links give you the precision adjustment capability that separates serious competitors from casual bashers. The inclusion of the 8mm aluminium wrench means you can make adjustments anywhere—at the track, at the local RC bash spot, or in your workshop—without risk of damaging your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these camber links compatible with all Sledge models? — Yes, these front camber links are fully compatible with the entire Traxxas Sledge range including the TRX95096-4-BLUE (Blue), TRX95096-4-ORNG (Orange), TRX95096-4-GRN (Green), and TRX95096-4-RED (Red) variants. The 117mm centre-to-centre measurement is standard across the Sledge platform.
- What makes 7075-T6 aluminium stronger than titanium? — 7075-T6 is one of the strongest aluminium alloys available, with tensile strength exceeding many titanium grades. In this application, the hollow tube design combined with 7075-T6 material creates an exceptionally rigid structure that actually outperforms solid titanium whilst remaining significantly lighter, improving your RC car's acceleration and handling response.
- Why would I need to adjust camber on my Sledge? — Camber angle—the angle of the wheel relative to vertical—critically affects tyre contact patch and grip characteristics. By adjusting camber using these TUBES links, you can optimise handling for different driving conditions, improve cornering grip, reduce tyre wear, and fine-tune your Sledge's behaviour on various terrain types from smooth tracks to rocky terrain.
- Are these pre-assembled and ready to install? — Yes, these TUBES camber links come completely pre-assembled with the rod ends and steel hollow balls already fitted, meaning you can install them directly onto your Sledge. The included 8mm aluminium wrench allows you to adjust turnbuckle tension for precise length adjustment once installed.
- Will these camber links improve my Sledge's handling? — Absolutely. Quality suspension components like TUBES camber links allow precise wheel alignment geometry, which directly improves cornering grip, reduces understeer or oversteer characteristics depending on your setup, and enhances overall handling predictability—essential whether you're running circuit races or bashing rocky terrain.
- Why is the anodised finish important? — The red anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic; anodising provides a hardened oxide layer that resists corrosion, extends component lifespan, and makes cleaning easier. For RC enthusiasts in the UK using their vehicles in wet conditions, this durability is genuinely valuable for maintaining appearance and function.
