Traxxas Front 54mm Turnbuckles and Rod Ends - Not a requirement, but everything I have read indicates that the stock front camber links always area just ever so slightly out of whack, enough it drove me nuts and it will be something you will want to upgrade anyway at one point or another. The camber links control how far the top edge of the tire is from the body. Think of it as steering but on the other axis. If the camber is aligned on one tire but not the other, the truck will pull to one side or the other and will not steer consistently. To clarify these are the 54mm rods which are 62mm when assembled with the rod ends. Although I ran stock plastic camber links until recently, the rears take the 72mm turnbuckles (90mm with ends) or better yet the Jato Camber links turnbuckles 58mm #5539 - See below.
