Check your Traxxas vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm compatibility with your specific model, or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop who can advise on fitment for your particular RC car.
- Do these turnbuckles come ready to install? — Yes, these are fully pre-assembled with installed rod ends and hollow ball connectors already in place. You can fit them directly to your Traxxas RC vehicle without requiring any additional assembly, specialist tools, or separate components.
- What is the benefit of adjusting rear toe-in on my RC car? — Rear toe adjustment affects how your RC vehicle's rear wheels point relative to the direction of travel. Adjusting toe-in can improve cornering stability, reduce tire wear, enhance traction, and alter your vehicle's handling balance. Fine-tuning toe geometry is essential for optimising performance across different track conditions and driving styles.

Regular maintenance with genuine Traxxas components keeps your RC car performing at its best.
