These red-anodised aluminium turnbuckles are engineered for serious bashers and competitors who demand lightweight construction without compromising on durability. Whether you're running a Traxxas Drag Slash or other compatible RC car, these camber links deliver the precision and strength needed for responsive steering and improved cornering characteristics. As part of the TUBES suspension component range, they embody Traxxas's commitment to high-performance RC car upgrades that combine innovative engineering with stunning anodised aesthetics.
If you're upgrading your RC car to the next level, these camber links are essential for fine-tuning your suspension geometry. The TUBES system has become a recognised choice amongst UK RC enthusiasts and competitors who understand that suspension adjustability is crucial for extracting maximum performance from your vehicle, whether you're bashing on weekends or competing in organised events.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, these camber links are significantly stronger than standard 6061 aluminium and, remarkably, stronger than titanium despite being considerably lighter. This hybrid design maximises rigidity while minimising weight, a critical factor in RC car performance where every gram counts towards faster acceleration and improved handling.
- Lighter Than Steel — By replacing steel suspension components with these aluminium tubes, you'll reduce overall vehicle weight, which directly translates to improved responsiveness, better acceleration, and more agile handling characteristics. This weight reduction is particularly beneficial for RC car enthusiasts seeking competitive advantages on track or in freestyle driving.
- Brilliant Red-Anodised Finish — Beyond the striking visual appeal of the red anodised coating, this finish provides a protective barrier against corrosion and wear. The vibrant colour coordination options allow you to create a cohesive, professional appearance across your entire RC car setup whilst maintaining durability through regular use.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — These camber links arrive fully assembled with quality rod ends and hollow ball connectors, saving you time and ensuring correct assembly from the factory. The hollow ball design reduces rotating mass and contributes to the overall weight-saving benefits of the TUBES system.
- Hollow Tube Design — The patented hollow tube construction is the secret to the TUBES system's success, maintaining structural integrity and rigidity whilst achieving exceptional weight savings compared to solid alternatives. This engineering approach maximises performance without sacrificing durability during aggressive driving.
- Machined Left-Hand Thread Groove — A machined groove on the camber links clearly identifies which end features left-hand threads, eliminating confusion during suspension adjustments and preventing costly mistakes during setup changes or maintenance on your RC car.
- Included Aluminium Wrench — Each set includes a precision aluminium wrench specifically designed for adjusting these turnbuckles safely and effectively. The aluminium construction prevents marring of the anodised finish, protecting the appearance and longevity of your suspension components during routine maintenance and suspension geometry adjustments.
- Fits Drag Slash — These rear camber links are specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas Drag Slash platform, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance when installed on this powerful electric RC car.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TUBES Camber Links represent a significant advancement in RC suspension engineering. Measuring 56mm centre-to-centre, these rear camber links provide the precise length needed for correct suspension geometry on compatible models. The 7075-T6 aluminium alloy used throughout these components represents a premium material choice, offering superior strength characteristics compared to conventional 6061-T6 aluminium whilst maintaining a weight advantage over traditional steel pushrods and turnbuckles. The engineering team at Traxxas recognised that suspension tuning is fundamental to RC car performance, and these camber links enable drivers to dial in camber angles precisely, affecting tyre contact patches and ultimately lap times or freestyle control. The pre-assembled rod ends and hollow balls mean installation is straightforward, requiring only the included aluminium wrench for adjustments. Whether you're setting up a ready-to-run RC car for your first suspension modifications or you're a seasoned competitor optimising every aspect of your setup, these components deliver the build quality and precision that serious RC car enthusiasts expect. The hollow tube design provides excellent torsional rigidity whilst resisting the flex that could compromise handling, and the anodised finish offers genuine protection against the elements and wear from regular use at tracks, grounds, and off-road locations throughout the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these Traxxas TUBES camber links fit my RC car? — These rear camber links are specifically designed to fit the Traxxas Drag Slash platform. Before purchasing, verify compatibility with your exact vehicle model, as suspension components are model-specific. Contact RC Model Shop if you're unsure about fitment on your particular RC car.
- Are TUBES suspension components worth the upgrade cost? — Yes, for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who are invested in performance and handling refinement. The weight savings, strength advantages, and ability to precisely adjust camber geometry make these components particularly valuable if you're looking to improve lap times, enhance cornering response, or simply enjoy a more precisely dialled-in suspension setup on your RC car.
- How do the hollow tube TUBES camber links compare to solid titanium links? — Despite being lighter and more affordable than solid titanium, TUBES camber links are actually stronger due to their unique hybrid construction combining 7075-T6 aluminium tubes with steel threaded inserts. You get superior performance without the premium price tag associated with titanium alternatives.
- Can I adjust the camber angle with these links? — Yes, these are adjustable turnbuckles that allow you to fine-tune camber geometry on your RC car. The included aluminium wrench enables easy length adjustment, and the machined groove marking left-hand threads prevents installation errors during suspension setup changes.
- How durable are the anodised camber links? — The red anodised finish is highly durable and protective, resisting corrosion and wear during regular RC car use. The anodising also makes the components more resistant to scuffing and damage compared to bare aluminium, whilst maintaining the lightweight advantages of the material.
- Do I need any special tools to install these camber links? — The included aluminium wrench is all you need for adjustment and installation. No additional tools are required beyond what you might already have for general RC car maintenance and setup.
- What makes the hollow ball design important? — The hollow ball connectors reduce rotating mass and contribute to the overall weight-saving strategy of the TUBES system. They also provide smooth articulation for responsive suspension action, which is essential for handling precision on track or during freestyle driving sessions.
