Technical Performance

The Traxxas TUBES camber links represent a pinnacle of materials engineering combined with practical suspension design. Built from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium — the same alloy used in aerospace applications — these components deliver exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics that professional RC car builders and competitive racers across the UK demand. The hollow tube construction is the engineering secret: by carefully calculating the tube wall thickness and diameter, Traxxas engineers have achieved a design that maximises structural rigidity whilst minimising overall weight. This hollow design reduces unsprung mass, which directly translates to improved suspension response, better traction, and more predictable handling characteristics on both asphalt and off-road surfaces. At 73mm centre-to-centre measurement, these rear camber links integrate seamlessly with the Drag Slash's suspension geometry, allowing precise camber angle adjustment without compromising the suspension's intended kinematics. The rod ends and hollow ball joints are pre-assembled to factory specifications, ensuring perfect articulation and eliminating any slack or play in the suspension linkage. The brilliant blue anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic — it's a hard-coat protective layer that significantly extends the component's lifespan by resisting corrosion from salt water, road salt, and general environmental exposure common to UK RC enthusiasts. The inclusion of a dedicated aluminium wrench demonstrates Traxxas's attention to detail; using a steel wrench on anodised components can cause microscopic surface damage that compromises corrosion protection, so this bespoke tool shows professional-level engineering thinking.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the advantage of hollow tube camber links compared to solid aluminium alternatives? — The hollow tube design maximises rigidity whilst dramatically reducing weight compared to solid rod construction. This means less unsprung mass affecting your suspension's response, translating to quicker reaction to track irregularities and improved overall handling precision. The strength is actually greater than solid alternatives despite the weight savings, thanks to optimised tube wall thickness calculations by Traxxas engineers.
• Are these camber links really stronger than titanium? — Yes. Through the unique hollow tube design combined with aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, Traxxas has engineered these components to exceed titanium's strength whilst maintaining a lighter weight profile. This delivers superior performance characteristics compared to both solid aluminium and titanium alternatives commonly used in RC car components.
• Will the blue anodised finish scratch easily? — The hard-coat anodised finish is specifically designed to resist scratching and wear. Whilst any component can be damaged through extreme impact, the anodised layer provides excellent protection against the corrosion, oxidation, and environmental damage that typically affects bare aluminium. The brilliant blue colour is built into this protective layer, so minor wear won't affect appearance significantly.
• Do I need the aluminium wrench that's included? — The supplied wrench is specifically designed for your Drag Slash's turnbuckles and is engineered from aluminium to prevent marring the anodised finish of your suspension components. Using a steel wrench can damage the protective anodised layer. Traxxas includes this wrench because it's the correct tool for the job — using it will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your suspension components.
• What measurements should I set for optimal camber geometry? — Camber angle specifications vary depending on your specific Drag Slash model, driving style, and surface type. We recommend consulting your Traxxas Drag Slash manual for the manufacturer's recommended camber specifications. Different camber angles affect handling characteristics: negative camber generally improves cornering grip, whilst adjustments allow tuning for specific track conditions. Start with manufacturer recommendations and adjust from there based on handling feedback.
• Are these camber links compatible with other Traxxas models? — These components are specifically engineered for the Traxxas Drag Slash platform with the precise 73mm centre-to-centre measurement matching Drag Slash geometry specifications. They are not designed as universal components and may not fit other Traxxas models without modification. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase.
• How do I know if my camber links need replacement? — Inspect your camber links regularly for visible bending, cracks, or damage to the rod end ball joints. If you notice uneven tyre wear or handling changes after suspension impacts, damaged camber links may be the cause. The pre-assembled rod ends and balls should operate smoothly without grinding or play — any grinding noise indicates wear requiring replacement.
• Is professional installation required? — Basic camber link replacement is straightforward for anyone comfortable with RC car maintenance. You'll need the supplied wrench and basic mechanical knowledge. However, if you're unfamiliar with suspension work, we recommend consulting your manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts. Proper installation is important for safety and handling performance.
