Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas Sledge with these premium Tubes toe links, designed to deliver superior strength and style to your RC truck. If you're serious about getting the most from your Sledge 6S, these high-performance 120mm toe links represent a significant step up from standard components. Built from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and featuring an eye-catching green-anodised finish, these toe links combine cutting-edge engineering with stunning aesthetics. Whether you're bashing at high speed on UK terrain or fine-tuning suspension geometry for competitive track work, these components will transform how your RC vehicle handles.
The Traxxas Sledge is already one of the most capable and durable RC trucks available to UK enthusiasts, and these Tubes toe links enhance its performance capabilities even further. The innovative hollow tube construction represents genuine engineering innovation—by maximising rigidity while minimising weight, Traxxas has created suspension components that literally outperform solid steel links while weighing considerably less. This is not marketing hype; the 7075-T6 aluminium alloy used here is stronger than titanium, making it one of the most advanced materials available for RC suspension applications. These toe links are for the RC enthusiast who demands the very best, whether you're running a brushless RC truck setup or preparing for serious off-road competition.
Each pair comes fully assembled with quality steel hollow ball rod ends, ensuring installation is straightforward and reliable. The included 8mm aluminium wrench prevents marring of the anodised finish during adjustment, demonstrating Traxxas's attention to detail. The machined groove identifying left-hand threads is a practical touch that makes maintenance and adjustment intuitive, even for those new to RC cars UK scene.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aerospace-Grade Aluminium Construction — These toe links utilise the same high-specification aluminium alloy found in aircraft applications, offering exceptional strength that actually exceeds titanium whilst remaining significantly lighter than conventional steel suspension links, resulting in improved performance and reduced unsprung weight on your Sledge.
- Innovative Hollow Tube Design — The patented hollow tube construction maximises structural rigidity where it matters most while reducing overall weight, creating the optimal balance between durability and performance that modern RC truck enthusiasts demand from their suspension components.
- Brilliant Green Anodised Finish — Beyond the stunning visual appeal, the anodised finish provides genuine protective benefits, resisting corrosion and wear whilst maintaining the vibrant colour throughout seasons of use in UK weather conditions.
- Pre-Assembled with Quality Rod Ends — These toe links arrive fully assembled with four steel hollow ball rod ends, eliminating the need for additional assembly and ensuring optimal alignment and performance straight from the box.
- Machined Left-Hand Thread Identification — A precision-machined groove clearly identifies left-hand threaded sections, making adjustment and maintenance intuitive and reducing the risk of cross-threading during suspension tuning.
- Included 8mm Aluminium Wrench — The purpose-designed aluminium wrench prevents marring of the anodised finish during turnbuckle adjustment, protecting your investment whilst maintaining that showroom appearance.
- 120mm Centre-to-Centre Dimension — The specifically engineered 120mm length (centre to centre) is perfectly matched to the Sledge geometry, ensuring optimal suspension kinematics and handling characteristics.
Technical Performance
These Tubes toe links represent a quantum leap forward in suspension technology for the Traxxas Sledge platform. The engineering behind 7075-T6 aluminium is sophisticated: this alloy offers a strength-to-weight ratio that simply cannot be matched by conventional steel components, yet costs considerably less than titanium whilst delivering superior durability. The hollow tube design is where genuine innovation shines—by strategically removing material from the interior whilst maintaining external dimensions, Traxxas engineers have created components with exceptional torsional rigidity that resist bending and twisting under extreme cornering forces and impact loads. This matters profoundly when you're pushing your brushless Sledge to its limits on UK terrain, where inconsistent ground surfaces and high-speed direction changes place enormous demands on suspension geometry. The anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic; anodising creates a hard oxide layer that resists wear, scratches, and corrosion from rain, mud, and salt spray encountered during UK RC bashing. Pre-assembly with steel hollow ball rod ends means you receive components engineered and matched as a complete system—the hollow balls allow smooth articulation whilst the steel construction ensures longevity under the constant impacts and flexing that characterise serious RC truck use. The included 8mm aluminium wrench is precision-machined to fit turnbuckles perfectly without slipping, preventing the damage that comes from using incorrect tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these toe links significantly stronger than the standard Sledge components? — Yes. The 7075-T6 aluminium used in these Tubes toe links offers superior strength compared to standard steel components, yet weighs considerably less. The hollow tube construction provides exceptional torsional rigidity whilst the material composition actually exceeds titanium in strength ratings, making them one of the most advanced suspension links available for RC trucks in the UK market.
- Will these toe links improve my Sledge's handling? — The reduced unsprung weight from lighter aluminium construction can improve suspension responsiveness, though the primary benefit is durability and adjustability. These links enable precise toe-in adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune suspension geometry for optimal handling characteristics on different surfaces and driving styles.
- How do I adjust the toe links? — The toe links feature turnbuckle adjustment at both ends. Loosen the included 8mm aluminium wrench carefully, rotate the turnbuckle to increase or decrease toe-in, then retighten. The machined groove identifying left-hand threads makes it clear which end uses standard versus reversed threading.
- Will the green anodised finish scratch easily? — Anodising creates a hard protective oxide layer that resists scratching and corrosion far better than painted finishes. Whilst normal use may produce minor marks, the anodised finish is significantly more durable than alternatives and offers excellent protection in UK weather conditions.
- Can I use these toe links with my standard Sledge suspension? — These are drop-in replacements for the standard Sledge toe links. They integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension geometry without requiring any modifications or additional adjustments beyond standard toe-in tuning.
- How often should I maintain these components? — Check rod end condition regularly during maintenance intervals. The anodised finish requires minimal maintenance—simple cleaning with water and a soft cloth keeps them looking pristine. Apply light lubricant to rod end bearings if they become stiff, but avoid excessive grease which attracts dirt.
- Are these toe links suitable for high-speed running? — Absolutely. The 7075-T6 aluminium and hollow tube construction are engineered specifically for the demands of high-performance RC truck use, including sustained high-speed running where suspension loads are extreme.
