Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale monster truck with these premium Traxxas Camber Links in stunning red anodised finish. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast, a weekend basher, or someone looking to enhance the performance of your RC car UK, these TUBES rear camber links deliver exceptional engineering and style. Designed specifically for the Sledge platform, these suspension components represent the pinnacle of aftermarket RC upgrades available for brushless RC monster trucks in the UK market.
These aren't ordinary suspension links — they're engineered using cutting-edge hollow tube technology that sets them apart from standard aluminium camber links. The unique design maximises rigidity whilst reducing weight, giving you a perfectly balanced suspension setup that improves handling, reduces weight transfer, and enhances overall performance on any terrain. For RC enthusiasts serious about getting the most from their Sledge, these camber links are an essential upgrade that combines engineering excellence with eye-catching aesthetics.
The brilliant red anodised finish isn't just for show — it provides genuine corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring your investment in quality RC upgrades stands the test of time and countless bashing sessions.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — Made from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, these camber links are stronger than titanium whilst remaining lighter than steel, giving you the perfect balance of strength and weight savings that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
- Hollow Tube Design — The revolutionary hollow tube construction maximises rigidity whilst reducing overall weight, which means better suspension response, improved handling characteristics, and reduced unsprung weight for a more responsive RC truck that's easier to control.
- 144mm Centre-to-Centre Length — Precision engineered to exactly 144mm (centre to centre), these links are perfectly calibrated for the Traxxas Sledge to ensure optimal suspension geometry and predictable handling in all conditions.
- Red Anodised Finish — The brilliant red anodising provides both stunning visual appeal and genuine corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and weathering whilst maintaining that eye-catching look.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends — Every link comes fully assembled with quality rod ends and hollow steel balls, so you can install them immediately without needing to source additional components or perform any assembly work.
- Left-Hand Thread Identification — A machined groove clearly identifies which links have left-hand threads, eliminating guesswork during installation and adjustment and preventing costly mistakes.
- Included 8mm Aluminium Wrench — The precision aluminium wrench is included specifically to prevent marring of the anodised finish when adjusting turnbuckles, protecting your investment and maintaining that premium appearance.
- Sold as a Pair — Each order includes two camber links (one for each side of the rear suspension), giving you everything needed for a complete rear suspension upgrade.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas TUBES camber links represent a significant engineering achievement in RC suspension technology. Manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium — the same material used in aerospace applications — these components deliver superior strength-to-weight characteristics that are impossible to achieve with traditional materials. The hollow tube design is not merely aesthetic; it's a fundamental engineering approach that maximises the moment of inertia (resistance to bending) whilst keeping overall mass to a minimum. This results in suspension links that maintain their geometry under load, provide consistent handling characteristics throughout a run, and contribute to improved overall truck dynamics. At 144mm in length, these camber links maintain the precise geometry that the Sledge platform requires for optimal suspension performance. The anodised aluminium construction ensures longevity even in harsh outdoor conditions, whilst the included hollow steel ball rod ends provide reliable articulation and durability. The precision machined groove identifying left-hand threads represents attention to detail often overlooked by competitors, preventing thread cross-threading and making adjustments straightforward for both novice builders and experienced RC tuners.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these TUBES camber links compatible with my Traxxas Sledge? — Yes, these are specifically engineered for Traxxas Sledge models including the TRX95096-4-GRN (Green), TRX95096-4-RED (Red), TRX95096-4-BLUE (Blue), and TRX95096-4-ORNG (Orange) variants. If you own any standard Sledge 1/8 scale brushless monster truck, these rear camber links will fit perfectly.
- What makes 7075-T6 aluminium stronger than titanium? — Whilst 7075-T6 has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio comparable to titanium, the key advantage is that Traxxas engineers have optimised the hollow tube design specifically for RC applications. The material itself is stronger by weight, and when combined with the hollow tube geometry, you get superior performance in real-world bashing and racing conditions.
- Do I need any tools to install these camber links? — The 8mm aluminium wrench is included, which is the primary tool you'll need for adjusting and installing these camber links. You may need standard RC hex drivers for the fasteners connecting the links to your Sledge chassis, but these are items most RC enthusiasts already have in their toolkit.
- Will these improve my Sledge's handling? — Yes, upgrading to premium camber links from the standard components can noticeably improve handling. The lighter weight reduces unsprung mass, meaning the suspension responds more quickly to terrain changes. The superior rigidity of the 7075-T6 hollow tube design means the links maintain their geometry under load, providing more consistent and predictable handling characteristics throughout your run.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — While these are technically accessible to builders of all levels, they're primarily aimed at enthusiasts looking to enhance an existing Sledge. Beginners should ensure they're comfortable with basic suspension adjustment before upgrading components, though installation itself is straightforward.
- How do the hollow balls in the rod ends affect performance? — The hollow steel balls in the rod ends provide reliable articulation whilst reducing weight compared to solid alternatives. This contributes to the overall lightweight design philosophy of the TUBES camber links and helps maintain responsive handling characteristics.
- Can I use these on my Sledge 6S model? — Please verify compatibility with your specific Sledge variant. While designed for standard Sledge applications, some platform variants may have different specifications. Check your model documentation or contact RC Model Shop for confirmation.
- What is the advantage of the anodised finish? — The red anodised finish serves both aesthetic and protective functions. Beyond the striking visual appearance that makes your RC truck stand out, the anodising protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation, corrosion, and weathering, ensuring these camber links maintain their appearance and performance for years of use.
