Whether you're a serious basher, weekend racer, or dedicated RC hobbyist, these aluminium turnbuckles represent a significant step up from factory steel alternatives, combining lightweight construction with rigid performance characteristics that will transform how your Stampede handles on the track or trail.
These pre-assembled toe link turnbuckles come ready to install straight out of the box, saving you time and frustration. The red-anodised finish not only looks fantastic but also protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance through countless hours of driving. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK looking to fine-tune suspension geometry and improve handling precision, these turnbuckles are an essential upgrade that serious competitors and dedicated hobbyists have relied on for years.
Key Features
- Lightweight Aluminium Construction — Made from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these turnbuckles are significantly lighter than the stock steel versions fitted to your Stampede, reducing unsprung weight and improving suspension response. This weight reduction directly translates to faster acceleration, better handling dynamics, and improved overall vehicle performance during high-speed cornering and technical driving sections.
- 35% Lighter Than Titanium Alternatives — Unlike heavier titanium upgrade options that are common in the RC market, these aluminium turnbuckles deliver comparable stiffness at a fraction of the weight. This makes them the smart choice for RC enthusiasts who understand that reducing rotational and unsprung mass improves chassis dynamics and battery runtime on a single charge.
- Exceptional Bending Stiffness — The high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium material ensures increased bending stiffness that reduces flex during aggressive cornering and jumps. Stiffer toe links mean more predictable steering geometry, improved front-end grip, and more consistent lap times when you're competing with other RC car enthusiasts in the UK.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — These turnbuckles arrive completely assembled and ready to install with rod ends and hollow ball connectors already fitted. This saves valuable setup time and eliminates the frustration of assembling small components, allowing you to get back to driving your RC car immediately.
- Stunning Red-Anodised Finish — The vibrant red-anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection against corrosion and oxidation. This protective finish maintains its appearance through countless hours of outdoor driving, keeping your Stampede looking show-ready season after season.
- Precision Adjustability — These toe links allow you to fine-tune your Stampede's suspension geometry with precision, enabling you to dial in the perfect toe-in settings for your specific driving style, track conditions, and suspension setup. This level of adjustability is essential for serious RC racers who want to extract maximum performance from their vehicle.
- Reduces Flex and Increases Precision — By replacing softer steel turnbuckles with these rigid aluminium alternatives, you'll immediately notice reduced suspension flex, tighter handling, and more predictable steering response. Your Stampede will feel sharper and more responsive, making it easier to navigate technical courses and execute precise cornering manoeuvres.
- Dedicated 5mm Aluminium Wrench Included Specification — The kit is designed to work with the optional 5mm aluminium wrench (part number #5477), which prevents marring or scratching the beautiful red-anodised finish during adjustment and maintenance, preserving the professional appearance of your suspension components.
Technical Performance

The solid aluminium construction ensures exceptional stiffness without excess weight, a critical consideration for anyone looking to improve their Stampede's handling characteristics. At 61mm in length and designed specifically for toe link adjustment on the Stampede platform, these turnbuckles allow you to modify suspension geometry with precision. The hollow ball connections provide smooth articulation while maintaining the tight tolerances necessary for consistent handling performance. The pre-assembled design with rod ends already installed means you can integrate these components into your suspension setup without additional assembly work. The red-anodised finish provides both visual appeal and functional corrosion protection, ensuring these components maintain their appearance and functionality through extended outdoor use. Whether you're upgrading a bone-stock Stampede or fine-tuning a competition-ready platform, these turnbuckles deliver measurable improvements in handling response, suspension precision, and overall driving experience that will be immediately noticeable the moment you take your vehicle back onto the track or trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these turnbuckles suitable for my Traxxas Stampede? — Yes, these toe link turnbuckles are specifically designed to fit the Traxxas Stampede. They measure 61mm in length and replace the factory steel toe links with lightweight, high-performance aluminium alternatives that improve handling precision and reduce unsprung weight.
- What is the benefit of upgrading from steel to aluminium turnbuckles? — Aluminium turnbuckles are significantly lighter than steel alternatives, reducing unsprung weight and improving suspension response. They also provide increased bending stiffness compared to stock components, resulting in tighter handling, reduced flex, and more predictable steering geometry during aggressive driving and cornering.
- Do I need any special tools to install these turnbuckles? — You will need a 5mm aluminium wrench (part number #5477) to adjust and install these turnbuckles. The optional red-anodised aluminium wrench is specifically designed to prevent marring or scratching the beautiful finish on these components during adjustment and maintenance.
- Are these turnbuckles lighter than titanium alternatives? — Yes. These aluminium turnbuckles are 35% lighter than titanium alternatives, making them an excellent choice for RC enthusiasts who want to minimise weight without sacrificing stiffness. The high-grade aluminium construction delivers comparable performance benefits at a lower weight penalty.
- Why should I upgrade my Stampede's suspension with these aluminium toe links? — Upgrading to these lightweight aluminium turnbuckles reduces flex in your suspension system, allowing for more precise adjustment of toe-in geometry. This directly improves handling response, front-end grip, and overall driving precision, making them an essential upgrade for anyone serious about extracting maximum performance from their Stampede.
- Are these turnbuckles pre-assembled? — Yes, these toe links arrive completely pre-assembled with rod ends and hollow balls already fitted and ready to install. This eliminates frustrating component assembly and allows you to upgrade your Stampede's suspension immediately without additional work.
- What is the difference between 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminium? — Both are high-grade aluminium alloys. 6061-T6 offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, while 7075-T6 provides increased hardness and bending stiffness. These turnbuckles utilise high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium to maximise bending stiffness and suspension precision.
