Overview
The Traxxas Turnbuckles (54mm) with 3x6x4mm aluminium spacers are essential suspension tuning components designed for RC car enthusiasts who demand precision adjustability on the track. These metal turnbuckles replace the non-adjustable camber links found on many Traxxas models, giving you the ability to fine-tune your vehicle's suspension geometry for optimal performance. Whether you're a competitive racer looking to dial in the perfect setup or a weekend basher who wants to maximise handling, these turnbuckles are an invaluable addition to your RC toolbox. Available now from RC Model Shop, they represent a straightforward yet powerful upgrade that can transform how your RC car performs on different surfaces.
Part of Traxxas's comprehensive range of suspension spares and tune-up components, these 54mm turnbuckles allow trackside camber adjustment without the need for complex tools or specialised knowledge. Camber adjustment is one of the most critical suspension parameters in RC car racing, affecting tyre contact patch, steering response and overall stability. By switching from fixed camber links to adjustable turnbuckles, you gain the flexibility to adapt your setup to changing track conditions, different driving styles and varying tyre compounds throughout a racing season. This product is particularly popular among 1/10 scale RC buggy and truck owners who want professional-level tuning capabilities.
These genuine Traxxas components are manufactured to OEM standards and are fully compatible with the range of Traxxas vehicles that use the rear camber link system. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade their suspension setup, these turnbuckles represent excellent value and deliver the performance adjustability that serious competitors demand. Shop with confidence knowing you're purchasing authentic Traxxas genuine parts from an authorised UK retailer.
Key Features
- Metal construction — Built from durable metal materials, these turnbuckles offer superior strength and longevity compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring they withstand repeated track use and aggressive driving without deforming or breaking.
- 54mm length specification — Precisely engineered to the 54mm dimension, these turnbuckles are dimensionally accurate and directly compatible with Traxxas suspension systems that specify this size.
- Adjustable camber links — Unlike fixed camber links, these turnbuckles allow you to make precise adjustments to your vehicle's camber angle, which directly influences how your tyres contact the track surface and how your RC car steers and corners.
- Trackside tuning capability — The adjustable design means you can fine-tune your suspension between heats at the track or during practice sessions, adapting to different surfaces, weather conditions and personal driving preferences without needing to swap entire components.
- Includes 3x6x4mm aluminium spacers — The package includes matching aluminium spacers (3x6x4mm) that work in conjunction with the turnbuckles as part of the rear camber link assembly, ensuring a complete solution for your suspension upgrade.
- Pack of two units — You receive two turnbuckles in this package, which is typically the quantity required for a complete rear camber link setup on standard Traxxas vehicles.
- Requires rod ends and ball connectors — For installation, you will need Traxxas #2742 rod ends or equivalent ball connectors, which are sold separately and connect the turnbuckles to your vehicle's chassis and suspension arms.
Technical Performance
These turnbuckles represent a significant step forward in suspension tuning for RC enthusiasts. Constructed from quality metal materials, they offer the rigidity and consistency required for precise camber adjustment. The 54mm length is engineered to fit Traxxas suspension geometry specifications, and the inclusion of 3x6x4mm aluminium spacers ensures that your entire rear camber link assembly is properly spaced and aligned. Camber adjustment is fundamental to RC car performance; by adjusting the angle at which your tyres sit relative to vertical, you can influence steering sensitivity, cornering grip, stability under acceleration and braking characteristics. For competitive racers and serious hobby enthusiasts, the ability to adjust camber trackside without replacing entire components is a game-changer. These turnbuckles allow infinite adjustment within their operating range, meaning you can dial in exactly the camber angle your setup requires. The metal construction ensures dimensional stability even under the forces experienced during high-speed cornering and aggressive driving. Whether you're running on tarmac circuits, dirt tracks or mixed surfaces, these turnbuckles give you the tuning flexibility to optimise your vehicle's handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is camber and why do I need adjustable camber links? — Camber is the angle at which your RC car's tyres sit relative to vertical. Adjusting camber affects how much of the tyre's surface contacts the track, which directly influences steering response, grip levels and stability. Adjustable turnbuckles like these allow you to change camber without replacing entire suspension components, making it easy to adapt your setup for different track conditions or driving styles. Professional racers use camber adjustment as a primary tuning tool to achieve optimal performance.
- Are these compatible with my Traxxas model? — These 54mm turnbuckles are designed for Traxxas vehicles that use rear camber link suspension geometry. They are specified as part number TRX1937 in the Traxxas spares catalogue. If your vehicle was originally equipped with camber links or if the manual specifies camber link adjustments, these turnbuckles should be compatible. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- What are the 3x6x4mm aluminium spacers for? — The aluminium spacers are part of the rear camber link assembly and ensure proper spacing and alignment of your suspension geometry. They work in conjunction with the turnbuckles to maintain the correct distance between suspension mounting points, ensuring your camber adjustments are effective and your suspension geometry remains consistent.
- Do I need any additional parts to install these turnbuckles? — Yes, you will need Traxxas #2742 rod ends or equivalent ball connectors, which are sold separately. These rod ends connect the turnbuckles to your vehicle's chassis and suspension arms. You may also need basic RC tools for installation, though the process is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical experience.
- Can beginners use these for suspension tuning? — Whilst the installation is straightforward, suspension tuning requires some understanding of how camber affects vehicle handling. Beginners can certainly install these turnbuckles and experiment with camber adjustments, though it's helpful to start with the manufacturer's recommended camber settings and make small adjustments between track sessions. Our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance on optimal camber settings for your specific vehicle and driving style.
- How much suspension adjustment range do these offer? — The 54mm turnbuckles allow for continuous length adjustment through their threaded design, giving you a range of camber adjustment options. The exact adjustment range depends on your vehicle's suspension geometry and mounting points. For specific adjustment range specifications, we recommend consulting your Traxxas manual or contacting us for detailed technical guidance.
