The brilliant orange anodised finish ensures they look as good as they perform, complementing the Drag Slash's aggressive styling while standing out against competitors' vehicles on the racing circuit.

Key Features

• High-Grade 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — These toe links are manufactured from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, which is stronger than titanium whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel, giving you the perfect balance of durability and minimal weight penalty that won't affect your vehicle's performance or battery runtime.
• Unique Hollow Tube Design — The secret to these components' outstanding strength-to-weight ratio lies in their innovative hollow tube construction, which maximises rigidity whilst reducing overall weight, enabling your RC car to accelerate faster and handle more responsively through technical sections of track.
• Brilliant Orange Anodised Finish — The eye-catching anodised finish isn't just for show; the anodisation process protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion and wear, ensuring these toe links remain in perfect condition through hundreds of adjustment cycles and years of RC racing use in the UK's variable climate.
• Precision 157mm Length (Centre to Centre) — Manufactured to exact specifications, these 157mm toe links ensure your Drag Slash's front end geometry remains perfectly aligned, critical for consistent lap times and predictable handling characteristics during competitive racing.
• Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — These toe links arrive completely assembled with professional-grade rod ends and hollow ball connections, saving you time and ensuring you receive components that have been assembled to Traxxas quality standards rather than risking assembly errors.
• Machined Groove for Left-Hand Thread Identification — A carefully machined groove clearly identifies which end features left-hand threads, preventing cross-threading mistakes during adjustment and ensuring you can confidently make suspension changes without damaging the turnbuckle threads.
• Included 10mm Aluminium Wrench — The precision-engineered aluminium wrench supplied with these toe links is specifically designed to fit perfectly and prevent marring the delicate anodised surface whilst adjusting the turnbuckles, a thoughtful touch that protects your investment in these premium components.
• Perfect Fit for Traxxas Drag Slash — Engineered as OEM replacement parts for the Drag Slash, these toe links integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's suspension geometry and mounting points, guaranteeing proper fitment without modification or additional components.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas front toe links represent the pinnacle of RC suspension component engineering, combining materials science with precision manufacturing to deliver uncompromising performance. The 7075-T6 aluminium specification is the same grade used in aerospace construction, chosen specifically because it delivers superior strength characteristics compared to titanium whilst maintaining a significantly lighter weight profile than traditional steel alternatives. This material choice is critical for RC racing applications where every gram of weight reduction contributes to improved acceleration, deceleration, and handling response. The hollow tube design employed throughout these components showcases Traxxas's engineering expertise; by carefully calculating internal wall thickness and tube diameter, engineers achieved maximum rigidity precisely where it's needed whilst eliminating unnecessary material that would add weight without improving performance. At 157mm centre-to-centre, these toe links are engineered to exacting tolerances that ensure your Drag Slash's front axle geometry remains perfectly aligned across multiple adjustment cycles. The rod ends and hollow ball connections provided pre-assembled are manufactured to professional standards, enabling smooth, frictionless suspension articulation whilst maintaining zero backlash. The anodised finish isn't purely cosmetic; the anodisation process creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and the various chemicals used in RC fuel and cleaning products, ensuring these components maintain their precision and appearance even after extended periods of racing. When adjusted correctly using the included aluminium wrench, these toe links enable you to fine-tune your vehicle's handling balance, reduce excessive tyre wear patterns, improve cornering grip, and achieve the consistency required for competitive RC racing in the UK.
