This is the perfect upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts who demand quality components from reputable manufacturers.

If you own a Traxxas TRX-4M Ford Bronco or Land Rover Defender model, these curved rod upgrades are specifically designed to fit your vehicle perfectly. They tuck the suspension links up neatly away from rocks and debris, preventing expensive damage during hardcore trail running sessions. The stainless steel construction ensures longevity and reliability, even when exposed to dirt, moisture and the demanding conditions that come with outdoor RC car adventures across the UK.

These curved rod sets represent excellent value for money and come highly recommended by the TRX-4M community. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring local trails or a dedicated competitor, this upgrade will noticeably improve your vehicle's ground clearance and protection.

Key Features

• Curved axle and suspension links — The curved design allows the suspension components to tuck up neatly underneath your vehicle, providing significantly improved ground clearance and protecting them from contact with rocks, logs and other obstacles during off-road driving.
• Beautifully machined stainless steel rods — Each rod is precision-engineered from high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent durability and resistance to corrosion even when exposed to mud, water and harsh outdoor conditions that UK RC enthusiasts regularly encounter.
• Stainless steel pivot balls pre-fitted — The suspension pivot balls are already installed onto plastic ball ends before delivery, saving you assembly time and ensuring perfect alignment out of the box for hassle-free installation.
• Eight-piece set for complete coverage — This comprehensive set includes all eight curved rods needed to upgrade all suspension linkages on your TRX-4M, providing a cohesive and balanced upgrade across the entire vehicle.
• Easy threaded installation — The plastic ball ends feature threaded connections that screw firmly onto the stainless steel rods, allowing you to adjust alignment and ensure both ends are perfectly positioned before final installation on your vehicle.
• Compatible with multiple TRX-4M variants — Whether you own the Ford Bronco in blue, red, orange, black, white or Area 51 livery, or the Land Rover Defender in green, light blue, pink, silver, tan or black, these curved rods will fit your specific model perfectly.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul Curved Rod Set exemplifies excellent engineering and material selection for 1/18 scale RC rock crawlers. Every component is manufactured from premium stainless steel, a choice that reflects the designers' commitment to longevity and reliability. Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel alternatives, meaning these rods will maintain their performance and appearance even after repeated exposure to moisture, saltwater spray and challenging trail conditions across the UK. The precision machining is evident in the finished quality — these aren't rough castings but carefully engineered components that demonstrate RC Overhaul's reputation for quality. The pre-fitted stainless steel pivot balls eliminate the need for separate installation steps and ensure that the ball joints move smoothly and consistently. The threaded connection system allows fine adjustment of the ball end positioning, critical for achieving perfect suspension geometry and ensuring your TRX-4M handles predictably during challenging crawling sessions. This upgrade works by increasing the vertical space between the axles and the chassis, allowing your suspension links to adopt a more upright position that keeps them clear of obstacles. For serious TRX-4M owners tackling rocky terrain, this represents a worthwhile investment in vehicle protection and performance.

What's in the Box

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these curved rods fit my Traxxas TRX-4M? — Yes, these rods are specifically designed for the TRX-4M platform and are compatible with all variants including the Ford Bronco (available in blue, red, orange, black, white and Area 51 colours) and the Land Rover Defender (available in green, light blue, pink, silver, tan and black).
• How much extra ground clearance will I gain? — By tucking the suspension links up more vertically, the curved rods create additional clearance underneath the vehicle, protecting suspension components from rock strikes and allowing you to tackle more challenging terrain without damage.
• Are these difficult to install? — Installation is straightforward. You simply screw the plastic ball ends onto the threaded ends of the steel rods until fully seated, align both ends correctly to match your suspension geometry, and then fit them onto your vehicle. The pre-fitted pivot balls save assembly time.
• Why choose stainless steel over other materials? — Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, strength and durability compared to alternatives like aluminium or standard steel. For outdoor RC use in the UK where vehicles are regularly exposed to moisture and dirt, stainless steel maintains its integrity and performance over extended periods.
• What is the difference between these and straight suspension links? — Curved rods allow the suspension components to tuck up underneath the chassis at a sharper angle, creating vertical clearance that straight rods cannot achieve. This unique geometry is essential for high-clearance builds on rock crawlers like the TRX-4M.
• Do I need special tools to install these? — No special tools are required. Basic assembly involves screwing the plastic ball ends onto the rods and aligning them before installation on your vehicle, both straightforward operations using standard hex drivers.
