Key Features
- High-Grade 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — These toe links are manufactured from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, which offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to steel alternatives, resulting in improved handling response and reduced unsprung weight that directly impacts your RC car's cornering performance and suspension compliance.
- Brilliant Blue-Anodised Finish — The stunning anodised coating doesn't just look fantastic on your RC model; it provides genuine corrosion protection and a premium appearance that demonstrates attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, making your suspension upgrades as visually impressive as they are functionally superior.
- 59mm Length Specification — Precisely engineered to 59mm, these toe links are designed to deliver optimal suspension geometry adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune your RC car's handling characteristics by adjusting toe-in settings to match your driving style and track conditions.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — Unlike bare turnbuckles requiring separate component assembly, these toe links arrive fully assembled with professional-grade rod ends and hollow balls installed, eliminating assembly time and ensuring perfect alignment and consistent performance out of the box.
- Lightweight Performance Enhancement — By replacing heavier steel factory toe links with these aluminium alternatives, you'll experience measurable improvements in suspension response, acceleration, and overall handling dynamics, particularly noticeable during competitive racing or aggressive off-road driving.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality — Manufactured to Traxxas specifications and standards, you're investing in components that have been engineered and tested to work seamlessly with your Traxxas RC car, ensuring compatibility and reliability that aftermarket alternatives cannot guarantee.
- Compatible with 5mm Aluminium Wrench — These toe links are designed to be adjusted and serviced using the dedicated TRX5477 5mm aluminium wrench, which prevents marring or scratching the beautiful anodised finish during adjustment, maintaining the pristine appearance of your RC suspension components.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas 59mm blue-anodised aluminium toe links represent a significant step forward in suspension tuning capability for RC car enthusiasts. Engineered from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, these turnbuckles deliver the precision adjustment and durability required for competitive RC driving whilst maintaining a weight advantage over traditional steel components. The 59mm length specification enables precise toe-in adjustment across the front axle, allowing drivers to dial in the exact suspension geometry required for their specific track conditions, driving style, or terrain type. The pre-assembled configuration with rod ends and hollow balls ensures that every component arrives in perfect alignment and ready for immediate installation, eliminating the risk of assembly errors that could compromise handling accuracy. The anodised finish provides genuine protection against the moisture and debris exposure common during RC car operation, whether you're enjoying casual backyard driving or competing in organised racing events. These toe links are engineered as direct performance upgrades, transforming your RC car's steering response and cornering behaviour by allowing precise adjustment of front axle toe geometry, a critical suspension parameter that dramatically affects handling characteristics on any surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these blue-anodised toe links compatible with my Traxxas RC car model? — These 59mm toe links are specifically compatible with Traxxas Slash HD XL-5 1/10 2WD RTR Short Course Trucks in blue, orange, red, and green colour options, as well as other compatible Traxxas models featuring front suspension adjustments. Always verify your specific model compatibility before ordering, as different Traxxas platforms may require alternative lengths or specifications.
- What advantages do aluminium toe links offer over the standard steel components? — Upgrading from stock steel toe links to these high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alternatives provides substantial weight reduction, improved suspension response, better cornering performance, and superior corrosion resistance. The lighter unsprung weight directly improves your RC car's handling dynamics, acceleration characteristics, and overall performance during competitive driving or recreational use.
- How do I adjust these toe links to get the right suspension geometry? — The 59mm turnbuckles feature rod ends and hollow balls that allow rotational adjustment for precise toe-in tuning. Use the dedicated TRX5477 5mm aluminium wrench to rotate the turnbuckle body, which shortens or lengthens the toe link to adjust the toe angle. This allows you to optimise your RC car's handling for specific track conditions or driving styles without requiring full suspension rebuilds.
- Will the anodised finish scratch or wear easily? — The blue-anodised coating is specifically designed to resist corrosion and wear, but can mark if adjusted with incorrect tools. Always use the dedicated TRX5477 5mm aluminium wrench rather than steel tools, which will prevent marring the finish and maintain the beautiful appearance of your suspension components throughout the life of your RC car.
- Are these toe links supplied fully assembled and ready to install? — Yes, these turnbuckles arrive pre-assembled with rod ends and hollow balls already installed, meaning you can fit them directly to your RC car without requiring separate component assembly. This saves time and ensures perfect alignment, as all components are assembled to precise Traxxas specifications.
- What is the difference between these and cheaper aftermarket toe links? — Traxxas-manufactured toe links like these are engineered specifically for Traxxas RC cars, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance integration with your vehicle's suspension system. The high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, precision rod ends, anodised finish, and quality construction represent genuine performance improvements compared to generic aftermarket alternatives that may compromise handling accuracy.
