Overview
The Traxxas Turnbuckle in brilliant blue-anodised aluminium is an essential suspension tuning component for RC car enthusiasts across the UK. This front camber link is specifically designed to make suspension adjustments straightforward and reliable, allowing you to fine-tune your RC model's handling characteristics with confidence. Whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend basher, upgrading to aluminium camber links represents a significant improvement over stock components, offering both enhanced strength and the adjustability needed to get your RC car performing at its best on any track or terrain.
Traxxas has engineered these camber links to deliver professional-grade performance in a user-friendly package. The 39mm front turnbuckle comes fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls, meaning you can install it straight from the box without additional assembly work. The brilliant blue-anodised finish isn't just for aesthetics—it's a protective layer that shields the high-grade aluminium from corrosion whilst giving your RC model a stunning appearance. If you're looking to upgrade your Traxxas RC car's suspension geometry and want the kind of adjustability that serious hobbyists rely on, this single-piece camber link is the perfect starting point.
For those building a complete suspension upgrade, note that this product is part of the comprehensive 3741A camber link set, which includes matching front and rear components. However, this individual 39mm front turnbuckle is ideal for upgrading existing setups or replacing worn components in your RC model collection.
Key Features
- Blue-anodised aluminium construction — The brilliant blue finish provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion protection, ensuring your RC car looks professional whilst maintaining durability through multiple seasons of use.
- 39mm front turnbuckle dimension — Specifically sized for front camber adjustment with a 69mm centre-to-centre measurement, this component integrates seamlessly into Traxxas front suspension systems.
- High-grade 7075-T6 aluminium material — This aerospace-specification aluminium alloy offers increased bending stiffness compared to standard aluminium, meaning your camber links will resist flex and maintain precise suspension geometry even under aggressive driving conditions.
- Pre-assembled with rod ends and hollow balls — The turnbuckle arrives fully assembled and ready to install, eliminating the need for complex component assembly and getting your RC car back on the track faster.
- Lightweight construction — Aluminium camber links are 35% lighter than titanium alternatives and significantly lighter than stock steel turnbuckles, reducing unsprung weight and improving your RC model's overall handling and responsiveness.
- Increased strength over stock components — These aluminium camber links are much stronger than the stock non-adjustable links found on standard Traxxas models, providing better durability for competitive and high-intensity recreational driving.
- Suspension adjustability — The threaded turnbuckle design allows fine-tuning of camber angle, enabling you to dial in the perfect suspension geometry for your specific driving style and track conditions.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX3737A front camber link represents a significant engineering advancement in RC suspension components. Constructed from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, this material is renowned in aerospace and motorsport applications for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to bending. The 39mm dimension is engineered to work with Traxxas front suspension systems, providing a 69mm centre-to-centre spacing that maintains proper suspension geometry and alignment. The blue-anodised finish goes beyond aesthetics—anodising creates a hardened oxide layer that protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation and corrosion, critical for RC models frequently exposed to moisture and outdoor conditions across the UK. The pre-assembled rod ends and hollow balls mean the turnbuckle is ready for installation without requiring additional fasteners or assembly steps. At 35% lighter than titanium and significantly lighter than steel alternatives, this component reduces unsprung weight that would otherwise compromise your RC car's acceleration, braking, and handling response. The threaded design allows precise adjustment of camber angle, giving drivers the ability to optimise front-end grip and tyre wear patterns based on track conditions, ambient temperature, and driving technique.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a camber link and why would I need to upgrade to aluminium? — A camber link is a suspension component that controls the angle at which your tyres contact the track surface. Upgrading to aluminium provides two major benefits: first, the material is much stronger than stock components, resisting the bending forces created during hard cornering and jumps; second, aluminium allows you to adjust the camber angle to dial in your suspension geometry precisely. This adjustment capability is critical for competitive racing and fine-tuning handling across different track conditions common to UK RC racing venues.
- How does the 39mm size relate to other Traxxas camber links? — The 39mm measurement refers to the overall length of the front turnbuckle. Traxxas also produces 49mm rear camber links for complete front-and-rear suspension upgrades. This front-only component allows you to upgrade one end of your suspension or replace a damaged component without purchasing an entire kit.
- Is this part of the complete camber link set? — This individual 39mm front camber link is a single component. The complete camber link set is part number 3741A, which includes two front 39mm turnbuckles and two rear 49mm turnbuckles, plus a matching 5mm aluminium wrench for installation and adjustment. If you're building a comprehensive suspension upgrade, the 3741A set provides better value and ensures matched front and rear performance.
- What does pre-assembled mean for this product? — The turnbuckle arrives completely assembled with all rod ends and hollow balls already installed and ready for fitting. You don't need to spend time separating, cleaning, and reassembling components—simply install it on your RC car and begin adjusting camber angle to fine-tune your suspension.
- How much lighter is aluminium compared to other materials? — Traxxas aluminium camber links are 35% lighter than titanium alternatives and substantially lighter than stock steel components. This weight reduction decreases unsprung weight, which directly improves your RC car's acceleration, braking performance, and suspension responsiveness—all crucial factors in competitive RC racing across UK tracks and events.
- Can I use this front camber link on any Traxxas model? — This 39mm front turnbuckle is engineered for Traxxas models with compatible front suspension geometry. You should verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing. If you're uncertain, contact our team at RC Model Shop—our experienced staff can confirm whether this component matches your RC car.
- What does the blue-anodised finish do? — Anodising creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, oxidation, and weathering. Beyond protection, the brilliant blue finish creates a striking aesthetic that makes your RC model stand out. The anodised layer is harder than bare aluminium, providing additional scratch resistance during normal handling and use.
- How does this compare to stock Traxxas camber components? — Stock non-adjustable camber links are typically made from plastic or inferior materials with fixed geometry. This aluminium turnbuckle offers three advantages: superior strength from 7075-T6 material, complete adjustability for camber tuning, and a weight-saving of approximately 35% compared to heavier alternatives. These improvements translate to better handling, more grip, and greater durability during competitive and recreational driving.
