Overview
The Traxxas Turnbuckles, toe links, 61mm (Front or Rear) (2 pcs) (assembled with rod ends and hollow balls) TRX5938 are essential suspension tuning components designed for RC enthusiasts who demand precision handling and adjustability from their RC car UK models. Whether you're running a Traxxas 4WD buggy, stadium truck, or truggy, these pre-assembled toe links offer an immediate upgrade path to fine-tune your vehicle's alignment without requiring complex assembly or additional components. For anyone serious about maximising their RC car's cornering performance and overall drivability, these turnbuckles represent a straightforward yet highly effective suspension modification.
Toe links (also known as turnbuckles) are critical suspension geometry components that allow you to adjust the toe-in angle of your front or rear axle. This adjustment directly influences how your RC car responds to steering input, affects tyre wear patterns, and ultimately determines how well your vehicle tracks through corners. The Traxxas TRX5938 comes fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls, meaning you receive a complete, ready-to-install component that eliminates the need to source and assemble individual suspension parts separately. This makes upgrading your RC model far more convenient for both beginners exploring suspension tuning and experienced bashers fine-tuning their ready to run RC vehicles.
At just 61mm in length, these turnbuckles are the perfect fit for popular Traxxas platforms that demand precise suspension geometry control. The assembled construction with quality rod ends and hollow balls ensures smooth articulation and durability during extended bashing sessions or competitive racing. Whether you're upgrading a new purchase or refreshing worn suspension components on an existing model, the TRX5938 delivers the quality and compatibility you expect from Traxxas genuine parts.
Key Features
- 61mm Length — Perfect Compatibility — At 61mm, these turnbuckles are engineered to fit the specific suspension geometry requirements of compatible Traxxas RC models, ensuring proper alignment angles and responsive handling without modification or adaptation.
- Pre-Assembled Design with Rod Ends — Immediate Installation — These toe links arrive fully assembled with professional-grade rod ends already fitted, eliminating the need to source separate components or spend time assembling suspension parts before you can drive your RC car UK.
- Hollow Ball Connectors — Smooth Suspension Movement — The hollow ball design allows free articulation and suspension travel, ensuring your front and rear axles maintain proper geometry through corners, jumps, and rough terrain without binding or restriction.
- Front or Rear Application — Flexible Tuning Options — Whether you need to adjust front toe-in for improved corner entry or rear toe-in for stability on exit, a single pair of these turnbuckles works for either axle location, giving you maximum flexibility when tuning your ready to run RC vehicle.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality — Built to Last — Manufactured to Traxxas' exacting standards, these turnbuckles utilise durable materials and precision engineering designed to withstand repeated suspension articulation, impacts, and the demands of regular RC bashing or competitive racing.
- Easy Adjustment Mechanism — Suspension Tuning Made Simple — The turnbuckle design allows you to lengthen or shorten the toe link by simply rotating the central adjustment sleeve, enabling precise geometry changes without tools or complex procedures.
Technical Performance
Suspension geometry is fundamental to RC car performance, and the Traxxas TRX5938 toe links represent a direct path to unlocking your vehicle's handling potential. At 61mm, these turnbuckles are engineered to maintain the precise axle angles that Traxxas suspension designers specified during development of compatible models. The pre-assembled rod ends are constructed from quality materials that endure thousands of articulation cycles without developing play or looseness, whilst the hollow ball design allows a full range of suspension travel from full droop to full compression without mechanical interference. Whether you're running a 2WD stadium truck, a 4WD brushless buggy, or any compatible Traxxas platform, these suspension components deliver the engineering precision and durability expected from an authorised Traxxas replacement part. The assembled construction means no waiting for custom parts or supplier stock delays — simply install and begin fine-tuning your RC model's handling characteristics immediately. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking genuine suspension upgrades from a recognised manufacturer, the TRX5938 represents exceptional value and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a toe link and why would I need to upgrade mine? — A toe link (or turnbuckle) is a suspension component that controls the toe-in angle of your RC car's front or rear axle. Upgrading to quality genuine parts like the TRX5938 becomes important when your original components develop play, when you want to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics, or when you're preparing a ready to run RC car for competitive use. Proper toe-in adjustment dramatically improves corner entry response and tyre wear characteristics.
- Are these suitable for both front and rear suspension? — Yes, the TRX5938 is designed to work on either the front or rear axle depending on your tuning needs. A single pair of turnbuckles allows you to adjust geometry on whichever axle requires attention, giving you flexibility to dial in your RC car's handling balance.
- Do I need any additional components to install these turnbuckles? — No, the TRX5938 arrives fully assembled with rod ends and hollow balls fitted, so you simply remove your old toe links and install these new ones. Your vehicle's existing suspension should accommodate these components without any additional parts or modifications required.
- How do I adjust the toe-in angle once installed? — The turnbuckle design allows you to rotate the central adjustment sleeve to lengthen or shorten the component, which adjusts your axle's toe-in angle. Small rotations create measurable geometry changes, allowing you to fine-tune your RC model's handling progressively until you achieve your desired performance characteristics.
- Will these work on my Traxxas RC car UK model? — The TRX5938 is designed for compatible Traxxas models that specify 61mm toe links. We recommend checking your vehicle's parts manual or contacting our team to confirm compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
- What happens if my current toe links are worn or damaged? — Worn suspension components develop play that ruins handling precision and makes your RC car feel loose and unpredictable. The TRX5938 restores suspension geometry control and delivers crisp, responsive handling, making them an ideal replacement for any worn or damaged original toe links.
