Camber link upgrades for Traxxas Fiesta BL-2

[gdodd12]

I tried searching about this, but it seems most camber link posts are for the trucks. I broke a camber link on our Fiesta BL-2 and I'm trying to see if there is a higher quality replacement. Quite honestly, I was surprised it snapped based on how light the impact was. I did a bunch of searching, but it's hard to tell which camber links (other than the stock ones) fit this vehicle. I don't want to jack up the camber angle or anything, but it'd be nice to get some stronger than plastic camber links to upgrade.

TIA.

Don't know on top of my head but if Traxxas offers the tie rods in steel that would be great. I know they offer them in aluminum but Traxxas aluminum would snap in seconds (tell me how)

Are they the non adjustable or adjustable?

Are they the non adjustable or adjustable?

The stock ones are non-adjustable pieces of plastic.

Mine have OEM adjustable links, they are each about 10mm shorter (eye to eye) than the Slash 4x4.

Rear camber = 63mm
Front camber = 72mm
Front steering = 77mm

A set for the Nitro Slash will work (just adjust the lengths to match the fixed)... $7 at Jennys RC + $5 shipping.

You will need some M3 screws to replace the shoulder screws or you can pop out the pivot balls on the adjustable links. I prefer to keep the pivots. You can pick up a set of hardware cheap a Jennys as well.

So I can really get any set of adjustable tie rods since I can just adjust them to match the length of the stock fixed ones?

Yes

For example, Traxxas' VXL version of the Fiesta comes with adjustable links.
