Key Features

• 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — These rear tie bars are milled from solid 7075-T6 billet, which is one of the strongest and most expensive aluminium alloys available, providing superior strength compared to standard 6061 aluminium and vastly outperforming composite alternatives. This premium material ensures your tie bars can withstand extreme loads, hard crashes, and aggressive terrain without flexing or breaking.
• Dark Titanium-Anodised Finish — The professional Dark Titanium-anodised coating not only looks absolutely stunning on your Sledge, but provides genuine corrosion resistance and enhanced durability to protect the aluminium from oxidation and wear. The anodised surface is scratch-resistant and maintains its appearance through countless bashing sessions.
• Laser-Etched Traxxas Logos — Each rear tie bar features precision laser-etched Traxxas logos, giving these parts a premium, factory-quality appearance that sets them apart from aftermarket alternatives and clearly identifies them as genuine Traxxas components.
• Bevelled Edges with Two-Tone Styling — The carefully bevelled edges create a stylish two-tone look that enhances the visual appeal of your Sledge whilst the machined surfaces catch light beautifully, demonstrating the precision engineering that goes into these components.
• Perfect Factory Fit — As genuine Traxxas accessories made by Traxxas for Traxxas, these rear tie bars require no modifications whatsoever and fit perfectly every time. You can install them with confidence knowing they'll work flawlessly with your Sledge's suspension geometry.
• Increased Rigidity and Control — By replacing composite tie bars with these machined 7075-T6 aluminium versions, you eliminate flex in your suspension linkages, resulting in more consistent steering response, better handling, and improved precision during tight cornering and technical terrain.
• Enhanced Durability for Extreme Conditions — The superior strength of 7075-T6 aluminium means your rear tie bars can handle the punishment of high-traction conditions, big air jumps, and hard landings that would cause standard components to fail, making them ideal for competitive racing and extreme bashing.
• Compatibility with Sledge Suspension Tuning — These rear tie bars work seamlessly with other Traxxas suspension upgrades including the 7075-T6 shock towers, TUBES links, and adjustable camber link systems, allowing you to build a complete, competition-grade suspension setup.

Technical Performance

The engineering excellence behind these Traxxas rear tie bars becomes immediately apparent when you examine the material science and manufacturing precision involved in their creation. By utilising 7075-T6 aluminium instead of the standard 6061 alloy, Traxxas has created components that offer significantly higher tensile strength and fatigue resistance, meaning they can absorb more punishment without permanent deformation or failure. The solid billet milling process ensures every tie bar is manufactured to exact tolerances with no voids, inclusions, or weak points that might compromise performance. The Dark Titanium-anodised finish adds a hard, ceramic-like coating that's substantially more durable than paint or anodising in lighter colours, providing long-term corrosion resistance even when exposed to moisture, salt spray, and harsh outdoor conditions. These rear tie bars specifically control the rear suspension geometry and steering linkage on your Sledge, preventing the toe-in angles from changing during compression and rebound, which is critical for maintaining predictable handling characteristics across all terrain types and driving speeds. The increased material thickness and rigidity compared to composite alternatives eliminate the flex that can cause inconsistent steering response and setup changes mid-run, something every serious RC car UK driver will appreciate. When paired with other 7075-T6 components like shock towers and carriers, these tie bars contribute to creating a suspension system that responds instantly to driver inputs and maintains consistent performance throughout extended driving sessions, making them an essential upgrade for anyone pushing their Sledge to competitive levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these rear tie bars difficult to install on my Sledge? — Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications whatsoever since these are genuine Traxxas parts designed specifically for the Sledge. Simply remove your existing tie bars and install these new 7075-T6 aluminium versions in their place using standard tools. The bolt holes align perfectly with your Sledge's suspension mounts, ensuring perfect factory fit every time.
• Why choose 7075-T6 aluminium over composite tie bars? — 7075-T6 is one of the strongest and most expensive aluminium alloys available, offering superior strength compared to both standard composite materials and lower-grade aluminium alloys. This means your tie bars won't flex or bend under load, maintaining precise suspension geometry and steering response. Composite tie bars can flex under high loads, causing inconsistent handling and setup changes mid-run, whereas these aluminium versions keep everything rigid and responsive.
• Will the Dark Titanium-anodised finish resist corrosion? — Yes, the anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and is far more durable than standard painted finishes. The hard ceramic-like coating protects the underlying aluminium from oxidation, salt spray, and environmental exposure, maintaining both appearance and functionality through years of regular use.
• Can I use these with other Traxxas 7075-T6 suspension components? — Absolutely. These rear tie bars work perfectly with other Traxxas 7075-T6 accessories including shock towers, caster blocks, steering blocks, and rear carriers, allowing you to build a complete, competition-grade suspension upgrade that provides consistent performance and improved handling across all driving conditions.
• What performance improvement will I notice? — You'll immediately notice more responsive steering, improved handling consistency, and better precision when cornering. By eliminating flex in your suspension linkages, your Sledge will respond more directly to steering inputs and maintain better setup consistency throughout extended driving sessions, particularly noticeable in high-traction conditions and during aggressive manoeuvres.
• Are these suitable for competitive RC racing? — Yes, these tie bars are ideal for competitive use. Professional RC car UK drivers and serious enthusiasts upgrade to 7075-T6 aluminium suspension components specifically because the increased rigidity and durability provide competitive advantages in precision handling, setup stability, and long-term reliability under extreme racing conditions.
• How do these compare to the standard Sledge tie bars? — The standard Sledge ties bars are typically constructed from steel turnbuckles or composite materials that can flex under load. These 7075-T6 aluminium versions provide significantly increased rigidity, eliminating suspension flex that causes inconsistent handling. Additionally, the material strength means they'll survive impacts and extreme conditions that could damage standard components, whilst the anodised finish offers superior durability and a premium appearance.
• Will these tie bars require any adjustments to my suspension geometry? — No adjustments are needed. These tie bars are designed as direct replacements that maintain your Sledge's original suspension geometry and angles. They simply provide increased rigidity and durability compared to standard components, with no changes required to camber, caster, or toe-in settings.
