Key Features

• 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, these toe links are stronger than titanium whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel alternatives, providing the optimal balance of durability and minimal rotational mass for improved suspension response.
• Unique Hollow Tube Design — The proprietary TUBES hollow tube architecture maximises structural rigidity whilst reducing weight, meaning you get superior strength without the performance penalty of heavier solid rod designs that negatively impact handling.
• Brilliant Orange Anodised Finish — The premium anodised finish provides not only eye-catching style and colour customisation options for your Sledge, but also enhances durability and corrosion resistance for extended lifespan in demanding RC use.
• Pre-Assembled Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — These toe links arrive fully assembled with quality steel hollow ball rod ends, eliminating time-consuming assembly and ensuring precision fitment for immediately usable out-of-the-box reliability.
• Left-Hand Thread Identification — Each link features a machined groove clearly identifying left-hand threaded sections, preventing installation errors and allowing confident, accurate adjustment of your toe-in settings for optimal handling.
• Included 8mm Aluminium Wrench — A precision 8mm aluminium wrench is supplied specifically for safe turnbuckle adjustment, engineered to prevent marring or damage to the anodised finish whilst making fine tuning straightforward.
• 120mm Centre-to-Centre Length — The 120mm dimension (measured centre to centre) is precisely engineered for the Traxxas Sledge platform, ensuring correct suspension geometry and alignment for optimal cornering performance.
• Easy Adjustability — The threaded turnbuckle design allows simple length adjustment without special tools, enabling quick fine-tuning of toe-in geometry to suit different track conditions, driving styles or suspension setups.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas toe links represent a substantial upgrade in suspension tuning capability for Sledge owners. The engineering philosophy behind the TUBES design addresses a fundamental challenge in RC vehicle design: the conflicting demands of strength and weight. By employing a hollow tube architecture rather than solid rods, Traxxas engineers have achieved superior rigidity-to-weight ratios that directly translate to improved handling responsiveness and reduced unsprung mass. The 7075-T6 aluminium alloy is specifically selected for its exceptional strength characteristics—aerospace engineers use this same material in high-performance aircraft components where weight savings and structural integrity are equally critical. At 120mm centre-to-centre, these links provide the precise geometry required by the Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless monster truck platform. The pre-assembled steel hollow ball rod ends eliminate assembly variables and ensure consistent performance. The inclusion of the aluminium wrench demonstrates Traxxas's attention to detail—steel tools can damage the anodised finish, so the supplied aluminium wrench prevents this common problem. This is a quality-focused upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts who understand that suspension geometry directly impacts how a brushless RC truck performs on track or in competitive scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these toe links compatible with my Traxxas Sledge 6S? — Yes, these TRX9549T TUBES toe links are specifically engineered for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck platform, including all colour variants (Green, Red, Blue, Orange). They are a direct fit replacement or upgrade component.
• What does 7075-T6 aluminium mean and why is it better? — 7075-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that has been heat-treated to peak hardness (the T6 designation). This material is substantially stronger than pure aluminium or standard alloys, and Traxxas claims it is stronger than titanium. The hollow tube design then reduces weight whilst maintaining this exceptional strength, giving you the best of both worlds.
• Why would I upgrade to these TUBES toe links? — Upgrading to adjustable aluminium toe links from factory-spec components allows you to fine-tune suspension geometry for improved handling, reduced tyre wear, and better cornering grip. If you're moving from a ready-to-run Sledge to more serious racing or bashing, suspension tuning becomes important, and these links provide that adjustment capability.
• Do these come assembled or do I need to assemble them? — These arrive fully pre-assembled with steel hollow ball rod ends already fitted, so you can install them directly onto your Sledge without additional assembly work or special knowledge.
• What is the benefit of the hollow tube design? — The hollow tube architecture maximises rigidity (structural strength) whilst minimising weight. Lighter suspension components reduce unsprung mass, which improves suspension responsiveness, traction consistency and overall vehicle control, particularly important in competitive brushless RC racing.
• Why is the included wrench aluminium instead of steel? — Aluminium is softer than steel, so when you use it to adjust the anodised aluminium turnbuckles, it cannot scratch or damage the protective anodised coating. A steel wrench risks marring the finish, so Traxxas includes the correct tool for the job.
• How do the machined grooves help? — The left-hand threaded sections feature visible machined grooves that immediately identify which end of each link has reverse threads, preventing installation mistakes and ensuring correct length adjustment without confusion.
• Can I use these on other Traxxas models? — These are specifically engineered for the Sledge Belted platform. Use only on models explicitly listed as compatible—do not attempt to fit to other Traxxas monster trucks or platform types as geometry and mounting points differ.
