TRX3741G

Overview

The Traxxas Turnbuckles aluminium (Green-anodised) are essential suspension tuning components designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand precision adjustability and lightweight performance. Whether you're fine-tuning your RC car UK setup for competitive racing or simply want to optimise your model's handling characteristics, these aluminium turnbuckles offer the perfect solution. As a trusted UK RC retailer, we understand that suspension geometry is critical to achieving the perfect balance between cornering grip, stability, and overall performance on any terrain.

These high-quality aluminium turnbuckles come in a stunning green-anodised finish that not only looks impressive but also provides excellent protection against corrosion and wear. The kit includes front camber links measuring 39mm (2 pieces) and rear camber links measuring 49mm (2 pieces), offering complete front and rear adjustability for your Traxxas model. Each turnbuckle arrives fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls, meaning you can install them straight from the box without any complicated assembly work. This makes them ideal for both beginners looking to learn about RC suspension tuning and experienced racers who need quick adjustments between runs.

What sets these turnbuckles apart from standard steel options is their construction from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, which delivers exceptional strength whilst remaining significantly lighter than traditional steel alternatives. In fact, these aluminium toe links are 35% lighter than titanium options, demonstrating just how weight-conscious Traxxas engineers have been in their design. The included 5mm aluminium wrench prevents any accidental damage to the beautiful anodised finish during installation and adjustment, protecting your investment and maintaining that showroom appearance.

Key Features

• High-grade 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — The turnbuckles are manufactured from premium-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, which provides superior bending stiffness and durability compared to standard aluminium or steel components, ensuring your suspension geometry remains stable through aggressive driving and multiple heat cycles.
• 35% Lighter Than Titanium — These aluminium toe links weigh significantly less than comparable titanium alternatives, helping to reduce unsprung weight and improve overall vehicle responsiveness, acceleration, and handling characteristics that matter in competitive RC racing on UK circuits.
• Green-Anodised Finish — The brilliant green-anodised surface finish provides outstanding corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal, protecting the aluminium from oxidation whilst giving your RC model a distinctive and professional appearance that stands out from standard black or red options.
• Fully Assembled with Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — Every turnbuckle arrives pre-assembled with high-quality rod ends and hollow ball joints, eliminating the need for complex assembly work and allowing immediate installation on your Traxxas vehicle without additional preparation or tools.
• Included Matching 5mm Aluminium Wrench — A dedicated aluminium wrench is supplied specifically to allow adjustment and installation without marring or scratching the beautiful anodised finish, protecting your investment and maintaining the professional appearance of your model.
• Front and Rear Camber Link Pairs — The kit includes two 39mm front camber links and two 49mm rear camber links, providing complete front and rear suspension geometry adjustment capability for comprehensive tuning options that allow fine-tuning of your vehicle's handling balance.
• Easy Strength and Adjustability Addition — These turnbuckles make it simple to add both structural strength and precise suspension adjustability to your Traxxas model, enabling you to dial in the exact setup required for your driving style and track conditions without replacing entire suspension components.

Technical Performance

The engineering behind these Traxxas turnbuckles reflects decades of RC racing expertise. The high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy offers a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio that superior to many competing materials, with the added benefit of increased bending stiffness that translates to more predictable suspension geometry under load. Because unsprung weight directly impacts how quickly your suspension can respond to track imperfections, the decision to machine these turnbuckles from aluminium rather than steel makes a genuine difference in vehicle performance. The front camber links measure 39mm whilst the rear measure 49mm, providing the correct geometry for most Traxxas models and enabling independent front and rear adjustability. The rod ends and hollow ball joints are factory-assembled to precise tolerances, ensuring smooth articulation and eliminating any play or slop that could compromise handling consistency. The green-anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic; anodising creates a hard, protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, salt, and dirt exposure—particularly important if you're running your ready to run RC in variable UK weather conditions. The included 5mm wrench is engineered to match the specific needs of these components, preventing the accidental damage that can occur when using improvised tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these turnbuckles work with my Traxxas RC car UK model? — These aluminium turnbuckles are designed as suspension tuning components for Traxxas vehicles. The included front 39mm and rear 49mm camber links fit most mainstream Traxxas models; however, we recommend checking your specific vehicle's documentation or contacting our experienced team to confirm compatibility with your particular model before ordering.
• What is the difference between aluminium and steel turnbuckles? — Aluminium turnbuckles like these TRX3741G components are significantly lighter than steel alternatives (and 35% lighter than titanium), which reduces unsprung weight and improves vehicle responsiveness. The trade-off is that steel offers slightly greater absolute strength, but the high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium used here provides excellent strength with substantially better performance benefits for most RC applications.
• Do I need special tools to install these turnbuckles? — No, the kit includes a matching 5mm aluminium wrench specifically designed for these components. The turnbuckles arrive fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls, so installation is straightforward. Simply use the provided wrench to adjust and install them onto your vehicle's suspension arms.
• Why is the green-anodised finish important? — The anodised finish provides multiple benefits: it looks stunning and distinctive compared to standard black or red options, it offers excellent corrosion resistance that protects the aluminium from oxidation and weathering, and the hard oxide layer resists scratching and wear during regular use and adjustment.
• Are these suitable for racing or just casual bashing? — These turnbuckles are versatile enough for both competitive racing and recreational bashers. The precision adjustability and lightweight construction appeal to racers seeking competitive advantage, whilst the improved strength and durability compared to stock components benefit anyone wanting enhanced suspension performance and reliability.
• What makes 7075-T6 aluminium special? — 7075-T6 is a premium aluminium alloy known for exceptional strength and stiffness. The T6 heat treatment creates a harder, stronger material than standard aluminium, making it ideal for suspension components that must withstand repeated stress cycles whilst remaining lightweight, which is exactly what makes these turnbuckles so effective.
