Overview
The Traxxas Turnbuckles, aluminium (Green-anodised), toe links, 59mm (2) are precision-engineered suspension components designed to enhance the performance and adjustability of your Traxxas RC car. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your RC vehicle UK setup or a weekend basher looking to improve handling characteristics, these aluminium toe links represent a significant upgrade over standard steel alternatives. The brilliant anodised green finish not only looks stunning on your RC model but also provides enhanced protection against corrosion and wear, ensuring your suspension components maintain their appearance and functionality through countless hours of driving.
These toe links are manufactured to the exacting standards Traxxas is renowned for, utilising high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy that delivers superior strength without adding unnecessary weight to your chassis. By reducing unsprung weight at the suspension points, these lighter toe links contribute to improved handling response, better traction, and more predictable steering feel—critical advantages whether you're running a ready to run RC car or a competition-grade platform. The pre-assembled design with integrated rod ends and hollow balls means you can install these components quickly and confidently, without needing to source additional parts.
As part of the comprehensive tune-up options available for Traxxas models, these 59mm toe links offer genuine adjustability that allows you to dial in your vehicle's toe-in settings precisely. Toe adjustment is one of the most fundamental suspension tuning parameters in RC car racing and bashiing, directly affecting steering response, tyre wear patterns, and overall vehicle stability. This makes the TRX3139G an essential component for anyone serious about optimising their Traxxas RC car's performance.
Key Features
- High-Grade 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — These toe links are manufactured from premium 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, which is significantly lighter than traditional steel turnbuckles while maintaining superior strength and rigidity, resulting in reduced unsprung weight and improved suspension response for your RC car.
- Brilliant Anodised Green Finish — The eye-catching green anodised coating provides both stunning aesthetic appeal and practical corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and environmental damage whilst maintaining the professional appearance of your Traxxas model over extended use.
- Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — Unlike basic turnbuckles that require separate assembly, these toe links come completely assembled with rod ends and hollow balls already installed, saving you time and ensuring proper alignment out of the box.
- 59mm Length for Precise Adjustability — The 59mm length is specifically engineered for Traxxas suspension geometry, allowing you to make fine adjustments to toe-in settings that directly influence steering feel, tyre wear characteristics, and cornering performance.
- Protects Finish with Dedicated Wrench — Using the included requirement for a 5mm aluminium wrench (#5477) ensures that the anodised finish is not marred or scratched during adjustment, maintaining the professional appearance of your components and preventing corrosion at critical connection points.
- Strength and Adjustability Combined — These components add genuine structural strength to your Traxxas model's suspension system whilst simultaneously providing the adjustability needed for competitive tuning or personalised handling preferences.
Technical Performance
The engineering behind these toe links reflects Traxxas's commitment to precision RC car performance. By utilising 7075-T6 aluminium—an aerospace-grade alloy known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio—these components deliver measurable performance benefits over heavier steel alternatives. The reduction in unsprung weight improves suspension articulation and responsiveness, allowing your shocks to react more quickly to track irregularities and providing better traction feedback through the steering wheel. The anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process creates a hard ceramic layer that resists corrosion, extends component lifespan, and maintains dimensional accuracy critical for suspension geometry. The pre-assembled design with hollow balls and rod ends means the turnbuckles are ready for immediate installation, and the carefully engineered 59mm length ensures compatibility with Traxxas suspension geometry while providing the adjustment range needed for competitive tuning. When combined with other suspension components and proper setup procedures, these toe links contribute to improved steering response, more consistent handling characteristics across varying track conditions, and reduced tyre wear—all important considerations for RC enthusiasts who demand the best performance from their vehicles whether running stock or modified setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are toe links and why are they important for my Traxxas RC car? — Toe links are suspension components that control the toe-in angle of your wheels, which is the angle at which your wheels point relative to the centreline of your vehicle. Proper toe adjustment is one of the most fundamental aspects of RC car setup, directly affecting steering response, tyre wear patterns, and overall stability. Adjustable toe links like these allow you to fine-tune this critical parameter for different track conditions and driving styles.
- How do 7075-T6 aluminium toe links compare to steel alternatives? — The 7075-T6 aluminium used in these turnbuckles is significantly lighter than traditional steel components whilst maintaining excellent strength and rigidity. This reduction in unsprung weight improves suspension responsiveness, allowing shocks to articulate more freely and providing better traction and handling feedback. The lighter construction contributes to improved acceleration and deceleration characteristics as well.
- Will the green anodised finish scratch or chip during use? — The anodised coating creates a hard ceramic layer that is highly resistant to scratching and chipping during normal use. However, to prevent accidental damage during installation or adjustment, Traxxas recommends using the dedicated 5mm aluminium wrench (#5477) rather than steel tools, which could mar the finish.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these toe links are suitable for RC enthusiasts at all skill levels. The pre-assembled design with rod ends and hollow balls already installed makes them straightforward to install, and while toe adjustment is a fundamental tuning parameter, it is accessible to beginners following proper setup guides. They represent a valuable upgrade regardless of your experience level.
- What wrench do I need to install these toe links? — You will need the 5mm aluminium wrench #5477, which is specifically designed to prevent marring or scratching the brilliant anodised green finish during installation and adjustment. Using steel tools or improper wrenches could damage the protective coating.
- Are these assembled or do I need to install components myself? — These toe links come fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls already installed, eliminating the need for additional assembly work and ensuring proper alignment out of the box.
- What is the benefit of adjustable toe links compared to fixed components? — Adjustable toe links give you the ability to change your vehicle's toe-in settings without replacing entire components, allowing you to optimise your setup for different track conditions, racing styles, or personal preferences. This adjustability is essential for competitive RC car tuning.
