Overview
The Traxxas Brake Cam Lever with Hardware (part number TRX5567) is an essential replacement component for RC enthusiasts maintaining their Traxxas vehicles. Whether you're a serious competitor, a weekend basher, or someone exploring the world of RC cars in the UK, having quality replacement parts on hand is crucial to keeping your model in peak condition. This brake system component is engineered to precise specifications by Traxxas, one of the world's leading RC manufacturers, and ensures your braking system functions smoothly and reliably every time you take your model to the track or the field.
Brake systems are fundamental to RC car performance and safety, and the brake cam lever assembly is a key mechanical component that translates servo input into braking force. If you've noticed your braking response becoming sluggish, inconsistent, or if you've damaged this component through normal wear and tear, replacing it with an genuine Traxxas part is the best way to restore your RC car's handling characteristics and ensure predictable, responsive stopping power. The TRX5567 brake cam lever kit comes complete with all the hardware you need for installation, making it a straightforward maintenance task for RC car owners of all experience levels.
RC car maintenance is a rewarding aspect of the hobby, and investing in quality replacement components means your vehicle will continue to perform at its best. From casual RC car UK enthusiasts to dedicated competitors, this brake cam lever assembly represents genuine Traxxas engineering and reliability that you can trust.
Key Features
- Complete Brake Cam Lever Assembly — This kit includes the brake cam lever itself, which is the primary component responsible for converting servo movement into mechanical braking action, ensuring your RC vehicle responds immediately when you apply the brakes.
- Linkage Rod Included — The linkage rod connects the servo to the brake cam lever, transmitting the braking signal from your RC radio transmitter to the mechanical brake system with precision and minimal play.
- Bellcrank Component — The bellcrank provides mechanical advantage and proper alignment for the brake linkage, ensuring smooth, consistent braking performance and optimal leverage for reliable stopping power.
- 4mm Ball Screw — This precision-machined fastener provides secure assembly and allows for fine adjustment of the brake linkage geometry, ensuring your braking system is perfectly tuned for your driving style and track conditions.
- 4mm Ball Cup — The ball cup creates a low-friction connection point between components, allowing smooth articulation of the brake linkage while maintaining structural integrity and preventing binding or resistance.
- 3.0mm Washer — This washer distributes clamping force evenly across the assembly, protecting plastic and metal components from stress concentration and extending the service life of your brake system.
- 3x10mm Stainless Steel Screw — Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this screw resists rust and degradation even when exposed to moisture, dirt, and the elements during outdoor RC driving sessions.
- Genuine Traxxas Engineering — Every component in this kit is manufactured to Traxxas' exacting standards, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your Traxxas RC vehicle and consistent performance over thousands of braking cycles.
- Direct Replacement Part — This is a factory-specification component, meaning it restores your vehicle to original condition and maintains all the handling characteristics Traxxas engineers designed into your model.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Brake Cam Lever assembly represents precision engineering focused on delivering reliable, responsive braking for your RC vehicle. The brake cam lever itself is the mechanical heart of this system, converting rotational input from the servo into linear motion that applies the brake pads against your model's brake rotor. The included linkage rod is manufactured with tight tolerances to minimise play and slack in the system, which translates directly to more immediate brake response and better modulation when you're controlling your RC car through technical sections of track or terrain. The bellcrank provides the necessary mechanical geometry to ensure smooth operation across the full range of servo travel, from fully released brakes to maximum braking force. The 4mm ball screw and 4mm ball cup combination creates a precision pivot point that allows free articulation while maintaining structural rigidity, preventing the unwanted flex or binding that would degrade braking feel. The stainless steel fastener resists corrosion, which is particularly important in UK climates where moisture exposure is common. Together, these components work in harmony to create a braking system that feels responsive, predictable, and tuneable, whether you're running a high-speed circuit racer or a technical off-road crawler.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Traxxas Brake Cam Lever TRX5567 suitable for all Traxxas RC models? — This is a genuine Traxxas component designed to fit specific Traxxas models. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team to confirm compatibility with your particular model before ordering.
- What tools will I need to install this brake cam lever assembly? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools including a small hex key set (allen keys) and possibly a small screwdriver. Most RC enthusiasts will have these tools in their hobby kit already.
- How often should I replace my brake cam lever? — Under normal driving conditions, brake components can last a very long time. However, if you notice spongy brakes, inconsistent stopping power, or visible damage to the cam lever or linkage, replacement is advisable. Regular inspection during maintenance checks helps catch wear early.
- Will this improve my braking performance? — If your existing brake cam lever is worn or damaged, installing this genuine replacement will restore your vehicle to its original braking characteristics, potentially improving performance if your previous system had worn components causing sluggish response.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, this is an authentic Traxxas component manufactured to factory specifications. When you buy from RC Model Shop, you receive genuine Traxxas products with the quality assurance that comes from an authorised retailer.
- What is the difference between this brake kit and aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas parts are engineered to work perfectly with your vehicle's specific design, ensuring precise fitment and optimal performance. Aftermarket parts may vary in tolerances and material quality, potentially affecting braking feel and reliability.
