Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale RC monster truck with these premium Traxxas Camber Links in striking orange. These high-performance rear camber links are engineered to add both strength and style to your RC truck, making them an essential upgrade for any serious Sledge owner in the UK RC community. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying your brushless RC monster truck on rough terrain, or a dedicated enthusiast looking to fine-tune your suspension geometry, these TUBES camber links deliver the performance and durability you need.
The secret to these camber links' exceptional performance lies in their innovative hollow tube design. Manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, these components are lighter than traditional steel alternatives yet stronger than titanium, giving you the perfect balance of weight savings and structural rigidity. This engineering breakthrough means you get improved handling response, better weight distribution, and enhanced overall truck performance without the penalty of added mass. The brilliant anodised orange finish isn't just for show—it provides extra corrosion resistance and durability while giving your RC vehicle that professional, polished appearance that stands out at the track or at home.
For anyone serious about RC car performance and customisation in the UK, these genuine Traxxas upgrade parts represent outstanding value. The included assembly and precision machining mean you can install them with confidence, knowing you're fitting components engineered by Traxxas to exacting standards.
Key Features
- Hollow Tube Construction — The unique hollow tube design maximises rigidity while dramatically reducing overall weight, giving you better suspension response and improved cornering performance compared to solid camber link designs.
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Material — Made from aircraft-grade aluminium that is stronger than titanium yet significantly lighter than steel, these camber links offer the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio for demanding RC applications.
- Brilliant Anodised Orange Finish — The premium anodised coating provides superior corrosion resistance, durability, and weatherproofing whilst delivering eye-catching aesthetics that make your Sledge stand out from the crowd.
- 144mm Length (Centre to Centre) — Precisely engineered to the exact specifications required for Sledge rear suspension geometry, ensuring optimal camber angle adjustment and suspension performance.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends — Comes fully assembled with steel hollow ball rod ends, saving you time and ensuring professional-quality construction that's ready to install straight from the box.
- Steel Hollow Ball Rod Ends — The included rod ends feature steel hollow balls that provide smooth articulation, excellent durability, and precise adjustment for fine-tuning your truck's handling characteristics.
- Machined Groove for Left-Hand Threads — A clearly visible machined groove identifies the left-hand threaded side, making it easy to identify correct orientation during installation and adjustment.
- Included 8mm Aluminium Wrench — The premium aluminium wrench prevents marring and damage to the anodised finish when adjusting turnbuckles, protecting your investment and maintaining the professional appearance of your components.
- Pair of Two Units — Each package includes two complete camber links (left and right), providing everything needed for a full rear suspension upgrade on your Sledge.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas Camber Links represent the pinnacle of RC suspension engineering, combining materials science and precision manufacturing to deliver measurable performance improvements. The 7075-T6 aluminium used in their construction is one of the strongest aluminium alloys available, offering tensile strength comparable to steel at a fraction of the weight. This material selection is critical for high-performance RC applications where every gram of unsprung weight reduction translates directly to improved acceleration, braking, and suspension responsiveness. The hollow tube design is not simply a weight-saving measure—it's an engineering solution that maintains structural integrity whilst reducing inertia, which means your suspension can react faster to terrain changes and inputs from the driver. At 144mm in length, these camber links are precision-engineered to provide the exact geometry required by the Sledge 6S platform, ensuring optimal weight distribution, tyre contact patch optimisation, and handling balance. The steel hollow ball rod ends provide superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, with smooth articulation that maintains consistent geometry throughout the suspension's range of motion. The anodised finish adds a protective layer that resists corrosion from moisture, dirt, and the chemicals found in modern RC tracks and terrain, ensuring these components maintain their performance characteristics and appearance for years of use. Whether you're running your Sledge in dry conditions on a UK RC track or in wet, muddy terrain during weekend bashing sessions, these camber links are engineered to perform reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these camber links fit my Traxxas Sledge? — Yes, these camber links are specifically engineered for all Traxxas Sledge variants, including the Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck in all colour options (green, red, blue, and orange). The 144mm centre-to-centre measurement is the exact specification required for Sledge rear suspension geometry.
- What makes 7075-T6 aluminium stronger than titanium? — Whilst titanium is renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio in aerospace applications, 7075-T6 aluminium offers superior tensile strength in this application. The strength lies not just in the material itself but in the engineered hollow tube design, which distributes forces efficiently whilst maintaining rigidity. This combination creates components that are stronger than titanium yet lighter than steel.
- How do these improve my RC truck's handling? — Camber links control the angle at which your tyres sit relative to the ground (camber angle). By allowing precise adjustment, these links optimise your vehicle's contact patch, improve cornering grip, reduce tyre wear, and enhance overall handling balance. The reduced weight from the aluminium construction also improves suspension responsiveness.
- Do I need to buy anything else to install these? — No, everything required for installation is included. The camber links come fully assembled with rod ends and the aluminium wrench for adjustment. You'll simply need basic RC tools like hex keys if you want to remove your existing camber links, but the new units are ready to bolt on.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are a genuine OEM Traxxas upgrade component, suitable for anyone looking to improve their Sledge's performance. Beginners can install them easily, whilst experienced drivers will appreciate the precision engineering and performance benefits they deliver. They're not a basic consumable—they're a professional upgrade.
- How durable are these compared to stock camber links? — The 7075-T6 aluminium is significantly more durable than basic steel, and the anodised finish provides superior corrosion resistance. Steel hollow ball rod ends offer better longevity than plastic alternatives. These components are engineered for long-term use in demanding RC applications.
- Can I adjust the camber angle with these links? — Yes, the rod ends with hollow balls allow smooth, precise adjustment of camber angle. The machined groove identifying left-hand threads makes it easy to understand which direction to turn for adjustment, and the included 8mm aluminium wrench makes the process straightforward without damaging the finish.
- Why orange colour? — The brilliant orange anodised finish isn't purely aesthetic—it's a premium finish that provides superior corrosion resistance and weatherproofing. The colour also makes it easy to identify these upgrade components on your truck, and complements many Sledge colour schemes beautifully.
