Overview
The Traxxas Camber links, rear, 81mm (71mm centre to centre) (2) (assembled with hollow balls) TRX9028 are essential suspension tune-up components designed specifically for the Traxxas Jato 4x4 1/8 scale brushless buggy. These rear camber links allow you to fine-tune the angle of your rear wheels, which is crucial for optimising handling characteristics, improving grip, and maximising cornering performance on track or off-road. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to dial in your setup for competitive racing or a weekend basher wanting to improve your vehicle's handling, these camber links are a worthwhile investment in your RC car UK collection.
Camber adjustment is one of the most important aspects of RC suspension setup, and upgrading to quality aftermarket camber links can make a noticeable difference in how your Jato 4x4 performs. The original Traxxas camber links are functional, but many experienced racers and hobbyists choose to upgrade to specialised versions that offer improved durability, adjustability, and performance characteristics. These rear camber links come as a complete pair, fully assembled with hollow ball joints, ready to install straight out of the box.
If you own a ready to run RC Jato 4x4 brushless model and want to take your performance to the next level, these camber links represent a smart upgrade that will give you better control over your vehicle's suspension geometry and ultimately improve your driving experience.
Key Features
- Fixed-length design at 81mm total length (71mm centre to centre) — These camber links maintain a precisely engineered fixed length that matches Traxxas factory specifications, ensuring compatibility and correct suspension geometry when installed on your Jato 4x4.
- Pre-assembled with hollow ball joints — The camber links come fully assembled complete with hollow ball pivot points, eliminating the need for additional assembly work and allowing you to install them immediately into your vehicle's suspension.
- Pair of two rear camber links — You receive both left and right rear camber links in a single package, providing everything needed for complete rear suspension adjustment on your Traxxas Jato 4x4.
- Designed for wheel angle adjustment — These components directly support the rear chassis and allow you to adjust the angle of your rear wheels, which affects traction, cornering speed, tyre wear patterns, and overall handling balance of your RC buggy.
- Suspension tune-up component — Classified as a suspension upgrade, these camber links enable you to experiment with different setup configurations to find the sweet spot for your driving style and track conditions.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas rear camber links represent a critical component in your suspension setup architecture. These links work by connecting the chassis to the rear wheel hubs, and their length and angle directly determine the camber angle of your rear wheels—that is, how much the wheel leans inward or outward relative to vertical. The 81mm overall length with a 71mm centre-to-centre measurement ensures proper suspension geometry and maintains the correct roll centre for your Jato 4x4 1/8 scale brushless buggy. The hollow ball joints provide a smooth pivot point that allows for steering movement while maintaining structural rigidity. The pre-assembled configuration means these components are ready for installation without additional tools or preparation, making them accessible even to intermediate builders. The fixed-length design prevents any accidental length changes during use, which could compromise suspension alignment. For drivers seeking to optimise their Jato 4x4's handling on various surfaces—whether smooth track, rough terrain, or mixed conditions—the ability to adjust camber angle through component selection or shimming becomes invaluable for achieving consistent performance across different driving scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is camber adjustment and why does it matter on my RC buggy? — Camber refers to the angle at which your wheels sit relative to vertical. Adjusting camber affects how much of the tyre's surface makes contact with the ground during cornering, influences traction characteristics, and changes how your vehicle handles through turns. On a Traxxas Jato 4x4, proper camber settings are essential for achieving maximum grip and consistent lap times when racing or bashing.
- Are these camber links easy to install on my Traxxas Jato 4x4? — Yes, installation is straightforward for users with basic RC mechanical knowledge. The camber links simply replace the existing rear camber links on your Jato 4x4 by disconnecting the ball joints from the chassis and wheel hub, then reinstalling the new links in the same positions. No special tools are required beyond a standard RC toolkit with hex drivers.
- What models of Traxxas Jato 4x4 are these compatible with? — These camber links are designed for the Traxxas 1/8 Jato 4x4 range, including both the brushless models (BL-2S versions like TRX90154-4) and the high-performance VXL brushless versions (like TRX90386-4). The TRX9028 designation indicates these are the genuine Traxxas part number for rear camber links on these vehicles.
- How do I know if I need to upgrade my camber links? — If you're experiencing uneven tyre wear, struggling to dial in your handling setup, or wanting to experiment with different suspension geometries for better performance, upgrading your camber links is a logical step. Additionally, if your original camber links are bent, cracked, or worn from extensive use, replacement becomes necessary.
- Can I adjust the camber angle with these links? — These are fixed-length camber links, meaning they provide a set length and camber angle. To adjust camber, you would typically use shims or choose alternative lengths (different part numbers). However, these fixed links establish the baseline geometry for your suspension.
