Key Features

• 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — These camber links are machined from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, a material specification commonly used in aerospace applications due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This means you get components that are stronger than titanium yet significantly lighter than traditional steel alternatives, resulting in improved handling and reduced unsprung weight on your RC monster truck.
• Innovative TUBES Hollow Design — The patented hollow tube construction maximises rigidity whilst minimising weight, creating suspension links that don't compromise on strength. This clever engineering approach provides the stiffness needed for precise chassis control during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering, whilst the reduced mass helps improve acceleration and responsiveness.
• Brilliant Blue Anodised Finish — Beyond their performance benefits, these camber links feature an eye-catching blue-anodised finish that not only looks fantastic on your Sledge but also provides an anodised protective layer against corrosion and wear. The vibrant colour adds visual style to your RC car whilst the anodising protects the aluminium underneath from the rigours of outdoor bashing.
• Pre-Assembled Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — These camber links come fully assembled with quality rod ends and steel hollow balls, saving you assembly time and ensuring optimal fit and performance. The steel hollow balls provide smooth articulation and durability, whilst the rod ends are engineered to Traxxas specifications for perfect compatibility with your Sledge suspension geometry.
• Included 8mm Aluminium Wrench — A precision-machined 8mm aluminium wrench is included in the package, specifically designed for adjusting the turnbuckles without marring or damaging the finish. Using the correct tool prevents accidental damage to your investment and ensures you can make fine suspension adjustments without slipping or stripping components.
• Left-Hand Thread Identification — A machined groove clearly identifies which links feature left-hand threads, eliminating confusion during installation and adjustment. This thoughtful detail prevents mistakes that could affect your Sledge's handling characteristics and makes maintenance straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
• Perfect Fitment for Sledge 6S — These 117mm (centre to centre) camber links are engineered specifically for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal geometry. Compatible across all Sledge colour variants including blue, orange, green and red models, these links integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension setup.
• Professional-Grade Suspension Tuning — Camber links are critical suspension components that allow you to adjust the camber angle of your front wheels, which directly affects your RC car's handling characteristics, traction and tyre wear. By upgrading to these premium Traxxas TUBES links, you're investing in precision chassis control that serious RC racers and bashers rely on.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas Camber links represent the pinnacle of suspension component engineering for 1/8 scale RC monster trucks. The 7075-T6 aluminium material is specifically chosen for its superior strength characteristics—offering greater durability than standard steel whilst maintaining a significantly reduced weight penalty. This is particularly important in high-performance RC applications where every gram counts toward improved acceleration, braking and handling response. The hollow tube construction employed in the TUBES design is not merely aesthetic; it's a functional engineering solution that preserves structural rigidity by strategically placing material where stress concentrations occur, whilst removing material from less critical areas. This approach is borrowed from aerospace and motorsport industries, where performance margins are measured in tenths of seconds and every component must deliver maximum function with minimum mass.

The 117mm length (measured centre to centre) is precisely engineered for the Sledge's suspension geometry, ensuring that your front camber adjustments translate directly into predictable handling changes. The included steel hollow balls and pre-assembled rod ends are designed to Traxxas OEM specifications, providing smooth articulation through full suspension travel whilst maintaining the tight tolerances necessary for consistent performance across multiple driving sessions. The anodised finish protects the aluminium from oxidation and provides a durable barrier against the elements, whether you're bashing in muddy UK terrain or competing in organised RC racing events. Build quality is exceptional throughout—every detail from the machined groove identifying left-hand threads to the precision 8mm wrench demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to manufacturing excellence. These are genuine Traxxas components manufactured to the same standards as your Sledge itself, ensuring compatibility and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these TUBES camber links really stronger than titanium? — Yes. The 7075-T6 aluminium used in TUBES construction provides greater strength-to-weight characteristics than titanium whilst being considerably lighter than traditional steel camber links. This makes them ideal for competitive RC racing and aggressive bashing where you need maximum durability with minimal weight penalty. Traxxas engineers specifically chose this material and design for the Sledge platform because it delivers superior performance in real-world conditions.
• How do camber links affect my RC monster truck's handling? — Camber links are suspension components that allow you to adjust the camber angle—the tilt angle of your front wheels relative to vertical. By adjusting camber angle, you can influence how much of your tyre's surface contacts the track, affecting grip, traction, tyre wear patterns and cornering performance. Upgrading to quality aluminium TUBES links allows you to make precise camber adjustments and maintain those settings reliably, giving you the suspension control that serious RC car UK racers depend on.
• What makes the TUBES hollow design better than solid alternatives? — The hollow tube design maximises rigidity whilst minimising weight by strategically placing material where stress is highest and removing material from areas where it's not needed. This approach, used in aerospace and motorsport applications, results in camber links that are stiffer than heavier solid alternatives, improving suspension response and handling precision. The reduced weight also means faster acceleration and better overall RC car performance.
• Do I need any tools other than what's included to install these? — The package includes an 8mm aluminium wrench specifically for adjusting the turnbuckles. For installation on your Sledge, you'll need standard RC tools like hex drivers and possibly a small wrench, depending on your exact setup. The rod ends and hollow balls come pre-assembled, so installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance.
• Will these blue anodised links fit all Sledge colour variants? — Yes, these 117mm TUBES camber links are compatible with all Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck variants, regardless of body colour—including blue, orange, green and red models. The blue-anodised finish complements any colour scheme, and if you prefer colour-matched suspension components, Traxxas manufactures TUBES in multiple anodised colours including red, green and dark titanium.
• How often should I check or adjust these camber links? — It's good practice to inspect your suspension components regularly, especially after aggressive bashing sessions or racing events. Check that the rod ends rotate smoothly and the links haven't bent or sustained damage. You may need to adjust camber angle based on track conditions or your driving preferences—these TUBES links make fine-tuning easy thanks to the included wrench and machined left-hand thread identification.
