Mechanical turnbuckle upgrade for TRAXXAS Slash 4x4

This 3pcs set of steel turnbuckles with alloy ball ends is produced as a direct-fit upgrade for 1/10 TRAXXAS Slash 4x4 steering and suspension linkages. The assembly emphasises dimensional stability under load while providing fine adjustment capability to tune toe and suspension geometry with repeatable thread turns.

Assembly follows standard practice for threaded turnbuckles - verify full thread engagement, ensure correct pairing of left- and right-hand threaded links, and pre-set lengths before final lock. Post-install checks should confirm unhindered steering and suspension articulation and include re-torquing fasteners after initial break-in runs.

Specifications

  • Item Turnbuckle set, 3pcs
  • Material Steel turnbuckles with alloy ball ends
  • Model Number SSLA160
  • Compatibility TRAXXAS Slash 4x4

Use this set when you require a compact, robust link solution that makes small, repeatable geometry changes easy during setup and tuning sessions.

What checks ensure correct installation?

Confirm full thread engagement, match handed threads, set symmetric lengths and verify full suspension travel to prevent binding.

How does the alloy ball end affect performance?

Alloy ball ends reduce friction at the joint while offering a balance of wear resistance and weight savings compared to steel on steel contacts.

Recommended maintenance routine?

Inspect threads and ball sockets after heavy use, clean and lightly lubricate contact points, and replace components showing deformation or excessive play.

Are there tuning benefits to steel turnbuckles?

Steel turnbuckles provide stiffer, less elastic connections than some plastic alternatives, helping preserve alignment and making setup changes more consistent.
