Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — These camber links are manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, a material specification that is stronger than titanium whilst remaining significantly lighter than traditional steel options, providing the perfect balance of rigidity and weight reduction for precision RC truck suspension tuning.
- Unique Hollow Tube Design — The secret to these camber links' superior performance lies in their innovative hollow tube geometry, which maximises structural rigidity whilst actively reducing overall weight, allowing your Sledge to respond more quickly to suspension adjustments and improving handling responsiveness.
- Brilliant Orange Anodised Finish — Beyond the functional benefits, TUBES feature a visually stunning orange anodised surface finish that not only adds genuine style and presence to your Sledge's appearance, but also provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability against the elements during outdoor RC driving sessions.
- Pre-Assembled Rod Ends with Steel Hollow Balls — Each camber link kit arrives fully assembled with high-quality rod ends featuring steel hollow balls, eliminating the need for additional assembly and ensuring consistent, reliable articulation in your front suspension geometry.
- Machined Groove for Left-Hand Thread Identification — A carefully machined groove clearly identifies the left-hand threaded turnbuckles, preventing installation errors and ensuring correct camber adjustment geometry, particularly important for precision tuning on RC race trucks and high-performance bashers.
- Included 8mm Aluminium Wrench — The kit includes a dedicated 8mm aluminium wrench specifically designed for adjusting the turnbuckles, preventing marring and damage to the anodised finish whilst making fine camber adjustments quick and straightforward.
- 117mm Center-to-Center Dimension — These front camber links measure 117mm from center to center, meeting the precise geometric requirements of the Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale monster truck platform and ensuring perfect fitment and suspension geometry.
- Two Pairs Included — Each kit contains two complete camber links, providing a matched pair for your Sledge's front suspension and ensuring symmetrical handling characteristics across both front wheels.
Technical Performance
The engineering excellence of these Traxxas TUBES camber links becomes apparent when you examine their material composition and design philosophy. Manufactured from 7075-T6 aluminium – one of the strongest aluminium alloys available in the aerospace and high-performance industries – these components deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that directly benefits your Sledge's suspension performance. The hollow tube construction is not simply a weight-saving measure; it's a sophisticated engineering solution that maintains maximum rigidity where it matters most whilst eliminating unnecessary material from non-critical areas. This approach results in camber links that are lighter than conventional steel options yet demonstrably stronger than titanium alternatives, a remarkable achievement in materials engineering. For UK RC enthusiasts running serious setups, this means improved weight distribution, quicker suspension response, and enhanced precision in steering geometry adjustments. The 117mm center-to-center measurement is specifically engineered for the Traxxas Sledge platform, ensuring perfect geometric integration with your truck's front suspension architecture. The inclusion of pre-assembled rod ends with steel hollow balls means you get consistent, reliable articulation without the need for additional labour or component sourcing. The 8mm aluminium wrench provided in the kit is purpose-built to prevent anodise finish damage, a thoughtful detail that demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to long-term durability and aesthetic preservation. Whether you're operating your Sledge in competitive racing environments or casual backyard bashing, these camber links deliver the durability and performance characteristics that justify their position as premium suspension upgrades in the RC truck market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these camber links improve my Sledge's handling and suspension geometry? — Yes, camber links allow precise adjustment of your Sledge's wheel camber angle, which directly affects tire contact patch, steering response and overall suspension geometry. The 117mm TUBES specification is engineered specifically for the Sledge platform, ensuring perfect geometric integration with your truck's front suspension to deliver measurable improvements in handling precision and responsiveness across various driving conditions.
- What makes 7075-T6 aluminium better than steel or titanium for RC suspension parts? — The 7075-T6 aluminium used in TUBES camber links offers the exceptional strength of titanium whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel, delivering superior strength-to-weight ratio. This material science advantage translates directly to improved suspension response, quicker steering input, and reduced overall vehicle inertia – all critical factors in precision RC truck driving.
- Are these camber links pre-assembled and ready to install? — Yes, these TUBES camber links arrive fully assembled with rod ends and steel hollow ball joints, eliminating the need for additional components or assembly work. You simply unbox them, use the included 8mm aluminium wrench to adjust to your desired camber specification, and install them on your Sledge's front suspension.
- What is the purpose of the machined groove on the camber links? — The machined groove identifies the left-hand threaded turnbuckles, preventing installation errors and ensuring correct camber adjustment geometry. This thoughtful design detail is particularly important for UK RC racers and precision tuners who need absolute confidence in their suspension geometry settings.
- Can I use these camber links with other Traxxas RC trucks? — No, these camber links are specifically engineered for the Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale monster truck platform. The 117mm center-to-center measurement and suspension geometry integration are unique to the Sledge, so compatibility is limited to this model.
- Why is the orange anodised finish beneficial? — Beyond the undeniable visual appeal that makes your Sledge stand out on any UK RC track or bashing field, the anodised finish provides functional corrosion resistance and protection against oxidation, extending component lifespan and maintaining aesthetic appearance through extended use and exposure to outdoor elements.
- Is the included 8mm aluminium wrench actually necessary? — Yes, the inclusion of an aluminium wrench rather than a steel alternative is a thoughtful engineering decision. Steel wrenches can mar and damage the brilliant anodised finish during turnbuckle adjustments, whilst the softer aluminium wrench prevents this cosmetic damage whilst still providing adequate tool strength for camber adjustments.
