Overview
The Traxxas Camber links, Turnbuckles, 39mm (69mm centre to centre) TRX3644 are essential suspension tuning components for any serious RC car enthusiast in the UK looking to dial in their vehicle's handling characteristics. These metal turnbuckles replace non-adjustable rear camber links, giving you the ability to make trackside camber adjustments without returning to the workshop. Whether you're competing at your local RC racing club or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, the ability to adjust camber on the fly is a game-changer for optimising your RC car's performance across different track surfaces and weather conditions.
Designed and manufactured by Traxxas, a world-renowned leader in ready to run RC vehicles and suspension components, these camber links represent genuine OEM quality that you can trust. Pre-assembled with rod ends and hollow balls, they arrive ready to install, saving you time and ensuring proper assembly. The 39mm length with 69mm centre-to-centre measurement is specifically engineered for compatibility with a range of popular Traxxas 1/10 scale RC trucks, including the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4, Slash Ultimate VXL, Slash VXL, Slash HD XL-5, and Stampede 4X4 HD VXL. Whether you own a brushless RC short course truck, an electric monster truck, or a high-performance stadium truck, these turnbuckles are precision-engineered to maintain the integrity of your suspension geometry whilst allowing repeatable, consistent adjustments.
For RC enthusiasts across the UK, whether you're a seasoned racer, a weekend basher, or someone discovering the world of RC for the first time, understanding suspension setup is crucial to getting the most from your investment. Camber adjustment affects how your tyres contact the track surface during cornering, directly impacting grip, stability, and overall lap times. These Traxxas turnbuckles give you that crucial control, making them an indispensable addition to any RC modeller's spares box.
Key Features
- Metal turnbuckle construction — These suspension components are manufactured from durable metal rather than plastic, providing superior strength and longevity even under the demands of regular racing or bashing. Metal turnbuckles resist deformation and maintain their adjustment settings more reliably than inferior alternatives, ensuring your camber settings remain consistent throughout a race or driving session.
- Pre-assembled with rod ends and hollow balls — The components arrive fully assembled and ready to install, saving you valuable workshop time and eliminating the need to source and assemble individual suspension parts. The rod ends and hollow balls are factory-fitted, ensuring proper alignment and clearance, which means you get consistent performance right out of the box without worrying about assembly errors.
- Trackside adjustment capability — Unlike fixed camber links, these turnbuckles allow you to make real-time adjustments between heats or practice runs at the track. This flexibility lets you optimise your setup for changing track conditions, different surface types, or specific driving styles, giving you a competitive advantage during RC races or practice sessions.
- 39mm length with 69mm centre-to-centre measurement — These precise dimensions are engineered specifically for Traxxas vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the suspension geometry that the engineers intended. The standardised length makes these direct replacement components that integrate seamlessly into your existing suspension system.
- Supplied as 1 left and 1 right pair — You receive a matched pair of camber links with left and right configurations, ensuring balanced suspension tuning across both sides of your RC truck. This symmetrical approach helps maintain consistent handling characteristics during cornering and high-speed running.
- Compatibility with multiple Traxxas platforms — These camber links work across numerous Traxxas 1/10 scale models, from the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 brushless RC truck to the Stampede 4X4 HD VXL monster truck and Slash series vehicles. This broad compatibility means whether you're running a 4WD short course truck or a high-performance brushless electric platform, you can upgrade your suspension with these quality components.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX3644 camber links represent the pinnacle of suspension component engineering for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Manufactured from high-grade metal rather than plastic, these turnbuckles offer exceptional rigidity and resistance to the forces generated during aggressive cornering, jumps, and sustained high-speed running typical of modern RC racing. The 39mm active length with 69mm centre-to-centre measurement has been precisely calculated to work within the suspension geometry of Traxxas' most popular vehicle platforms, including their brushless RC short course trucks like the Slash and Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 models, as well as their iconic Stampede 4X4 HD VXL brushless monster truck. The rod ends utilised in these turnbuckles feature excellent articulation, allowing full suspension travel without binding or causing unnecessary friction that could slow your vehicle's responsiveness. The hollow ball design reduces weight whilst maintaining full structural integrity, contributing to the overall performance envelope of your RC car. Whether you're dialling in a setup for tight, technical course racing or aggressive bashing across varied terrain, the ability to adjust camber in small, repeatable increments allows you to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics. Camber adjustment directly influences how your RC car's tyres contact the track surface during cornering; negative camber (top of tyre leaning inward) typically increases grip during hard cornering but may reduce straight-line stability, whilst positive camber can improve straight-line performance at the cost of cornering grip. With these adjustable turnbuckles, you can experiment with different settings to find the perfect balance for your specific driving style, track conditions, and vehicle setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas RC trucks are these camber links compatible with? — The TRX3644 camber links are specifically designed for a wide range of Traxxas 1/10 scale vehicles, including the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 available in green and blue, the Slash Ultimate VXL 4x4 VXL short course truck in orange, the Slash VXL 4x4 RTR short course truck available in multiple colours including orange, red, blue and green, the Slash HD XL-5 1/10 2WD short course truck in blue, orange, green and red, and the Stampede 4X4 HD VXL brushless monster truck in green, blue and orange. If you own any of these popular Traxxas platforms, these turnbuckles are a direct fit upgrade.
- How do camber links affect my RC car's handling? — Camber adjustment changes the angle at which your tyres meet the track surface. Adjusting camber through these turnbuckles allows you to optimise grip during cornering, stability during acceleration and braking, and overall tyre wear characteristics. More negative camber typically improves cornering grip but can reduce straight-line speed, whilst less negative camber improves straight-line performance. The ability to adjust these settings at the track gives you a significant advantage in optimising your setup for conditions on the day.
- Are these components pre-assembled or do I need to build them? — These camber links arrive completely pre-assembled with rod ends and hollow balls already fitted, meaning you can unbox them and install them directly into your RC truck without any additional assembly required. This saves you valuable workshop time and ensures factory-correct assembly with proper tolerances and alignment.
- What is the difference between these adjustable camber links and fixed camber links? — Fixed camber links come set at a specific angle and cannot be adjusted without completely replacing the component. These turnbuckle-style camber links feature threaded design that allows you to lengthen or shorten them by turning the centre section, giving you infinite adjustment possibilities within their range. This adjustability is invaluable at the track, allowing you to fine-tune your setup between heats or practice runs without returning to the workshop.
- Are these suitable for both racing and bashing? — Absolutely. Whether you're competing in serious RC racing events at UK clubs or enjoying casual weekend bashing sessions, these camber links provide the adjustment capability you need. For racing, they allow competitive setup tuning; for bashing, they let you dial in comfort and stability for your particular driving style and terrain.
- How long will these camber links last? — Manufactured from durable metal construction, these Traxxas components are engineered to withstand the demanding environment of RC racing and bashing. With proper maintenance and occasional inspection for wear on the rod ends, these turnbuckles should provide years of reliable service. The rod ends and hollow balls are standard wear items that can be replaced if needed, extending the life of the turnbuckle itself.
