What sets this particular tuning set apart is the combination of lightweight aluminium construction with the stunning red-anodised finish that looks as good as it performs. The brilliant anodised coating not only provides a distinctive visual upgrade to your RC car's suspension but also protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear during regular use. Available through RC Model Shop, these genuine Traxxas components represent an investment in quality and reliability that serious RC enthusiasts have trusted for years.

Key Features

• Red-Anodised Aluminium Construction — The turnbuckles are manufactured from premium aluminium with a brilliant red-anodised finish that combines stunning aesthetics with excellent corrosion resistance and durability. The anodised coating protects the metal while maintaining a lightweight design that won't add unnecessary weight to your suspension.
• Complete Suspension Adjustment Set — This comprehensive tuning package includes everything needed for proper suspension geometry adjustment: 32mm front camber links (2 pieces), 28mm rear camber links (2 pieces), and 34mm toe links (2 pieces), allowing you to fine-tune both camber angles and toe-in settings across your entire suspension.
• Pre-Assembled with Rod Ends and Hollow Balls — Each turnbuckle comes fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls already installed, eliminating the need for additional assembly and ensuring proper alignment and function out of the box. This saves you valuable setup time and guarantees correct assembly.
• Included 5mm Aluminium Wrench — The set includes a dedicated 5mm aluminium wrench specifically designed for adjusting these turnbuckles without damaging the anodised finish. This protective wrench is an essential tool for maintaining your suspension adjustments without scratching or marring the red coating.
• Lightweight Yet Strong — The aluminium material provides an excellent balance between strength and weight, offering the rigidity needed for precise handling adjustments without adding unnecessary rotational or unsprung mass that could negatively affect your RC car's performance or battery run time.
• Precision Tuning Capability — These turnbuckles allow you to make micro-adjustments to your suspension geometry, enabling you to optimise your setup for different track conditions, weather, and driving styles. This level of adjustability is what separates competitive racers from casual drivers.
• Genuine Traxxas Engineering — As official Traxxas components, these turnbuckles are engineered to exact specifications and integrate perfectly with your compatible 4-Tec platform, ensuring reliability and performance you can depend on.

Technical Performance

The suspension geometry of any RC car is fundamental to its handling characteristics, and these Traxxas aluminium turnbuckles provide the precision tools necessary to optimise camber and toe angles for competitive advantage. The 32mm front camber links and 28mm rear camber links work together to control the wheel's tilt relative to vertical, which directly affects tyre contact patch, grip levels, and cornering performance. The 34mm toe links adjust the angle of the wheels relative to the centreline of the vehicle, influencing straight-line stability and responsiveness to steering input. The aluminium construction offers approximately 69mm centre-to-centre measurement on the front camber links, providing the right leverage and range of adjustment for fine-tuning your suspension. All components come pre-assembled with rod ends and hollow balls, which are critical for allowing smooth articulation and maintaining consistent geometry throughout suspension travel. The red-anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that protects against moisture, dirt, and the elements you'll encounter during regular RC car use. Whether you're running on a tight, technical track requiring maximum grip or a high-speed course where stability matters most, these turnbuckles enable the suspension adjustments that separate competitive setups from standard configurations. The included 5mm aluminium wrench is precisely engineered to fit the turnbuckle adjustment points without slipping or damaging the anodised coating, allowing you to make confident adjustments between runs or during race day tuning sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between camber links and toe links, and why do I need both? — Camber links control how much your wheel tilts inward or outward relative to vertical, which affects grip and tyre wear. Toe links adjust the angle of your wheels relative to the direction the car is pointing, influencing straight-line stability and steering response. Both adjustments are crucial for optimising your RC car's suspension setup for different track conditions and driving styles. Having both types allows you to achieve a complete suspension geometry package rather than just partial adjustments.
• Are these turnbuckles suitable for beginners? — These turnbuckles are designed more for enthusiasts and competitors who want to fine-tune their suspension setup rather than absolute beginners. However, if you own a compatible Traxxas 4-Tec 3.0 and want to improve your car's handling, the included instructions and straightforward adjustment mechanism make them accessible. You'll benefit most if you have some understanding of how suspension geometry affects RC car performance, or if you're willing to learn through experimentation and online resources.
• Will these red-anodised turnbuckles scratch or lose their finish easily? — The red-anodised coating is a hard, durable finish applied through electrochemical anodising, making it significantly more resistant to scratching and corrosion than raw aluminium. The included 5mm aluminium wrench is specifically designed to protect this finish during adjustments. With normal use and care, your turnbuckles should maintain their brilliant red appearance and protective coating for years. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water will keep them looking new.
• Can I use these turnbuckles on other Traxxas models? — These turnbuckles are specifically engineered for the Traxxas 4-Tec 3.0 platform. While they may physically fit other Traxxas models, compatibility cannot be guaranteed, and suspension geometry may not be correct on other platforms. Always check your specific vehicle's manual or contact Traxxas support if you're unsure about compatibility with your particular RC car model.
• How do I adjust these turnbuckles for camber and toe changes? — Each turnbuckle features a threaded rod design that allows you to lengthen or shorten it by rotating the adjustment point with the included 5mm aluminium wrench. Clockwise rotation typically shortens the link, while counter-clockwise lengthens it. Small adjustments of half-turns or full turns produce noticeable changes in your suspension geometry. Make adjustments in small increments, test your car's handling, and refine further until you achieve your desired setup. The hollow ball rod ends allow smooth movement throughout the suspension travel range.
• What suspension adjustments should I make with these components? — Increasing front camber (wheels tilting outward) generally increases grip in corners but may reduce stability on straights. Rear camber adjustment should be more conservative. Toe-in (wheels angling slightly inward) typically improves straight-line stability, while toe-out improves cornering response. Most setup guides recommend starting with slight toe-in and minimal camber, then adjusting based on your car's handling characteristics and track conditions. Different tracks and weather conditions benefit from different settings, so experimenting is part of the tuning process.
• Are the rod ends and hollow balls included, or do I need to purchase them separately? — The rod ends and hollow balls are pre-assembled on all the turnbuckles included in this set. You don't need to purchase any additional components—everything arrives ready to install on your compatible 4-Tec 3.0 model.
