For those engaged in competitive RC buggy racing or weekend bashing with your 1/10 scale Capra, suspension geometry is critical to performance. These stainless steel links replace worn components or allow you to adjust suspension angles for different terrain conditions. The M6 threading and 111mm length are precisely calibrated for the Capra 1.9 4WD unlimited trail buggy platform, ensuring perfect fit and alignment when installed. This makes them an ideal upgrade for anyone serious about maximising their ready-to-run RC buggy's potential on the trail.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine Axial spares and upgrade components for all Capra models, including the 1/10 Capra 1.9 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy Kit, the 1/10 Capra 1.9 4WS 4X4 Unlimited Trail Buggy RTR, and the 1/10 UTB10 Capra 1.9 4WS 4X4 Unlimited Trail Buggy Brushed RTR. These links are replacement parts and optional upgrades that help keep your RC trail buggy performing at its best.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — The links are manufactured from stainless steel, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel, making them ideal for outdoor RC use in the UK where moisture and unpredictable weather are common factors affecting RC equipment longevity.
- M6 x 111mm Specification — The M6 threading with 111mm length is precision-engineered specifically for the Axial Capra 1.9 UTB10 platform, ensuring perfect compatibility and proper suspension geometry without modification or adaptation.
- Opposing Threads with Indicator Line — Each link features opposing threads and an orientation indicator line, which makes installation straightforward and prevents incorrect orientation that could compromise suspension performance and vehicle handling characteristics.
- Centered Hole for Easy Adjustment — The centered hole design allows you to adjust link length even after installation on your RC buggy, providing flexibility for suspension tuning without complete disassembly, saving time during setup and maintenance procedures.
- Pack of Two — This set includes two links, giving you a complete pair for matched suspension performance on both sides of your Capra 1.9 trail buggy, or spare components for future maintenance.
- Genuine Axial Component — As an official Axial replacement part, these links are engineered to the manufacturer's exact specifications and quality standards, ensuring reliability and performance consistency that aftermarket alternatives may not provide.
Technical Performance
These stainless steel links represent precision engineering at the component level for 1/10 scale RC buggies. The M6 x 111mm specification is carefully calculated for the Capra 1.9 4WD and 4WS four-wheel steering models, maintaining correct suspension geometry and anti-squat/anti-dive characteristics essential for trail driving performance. The choice of stainless steel as the material demonstrates Axial's commitment to durability; stainless steel resists rust and corrosion significantly better than standard mild steel, which is particularly valuable in the UK climate where RC vehicles are exposed to moisture, road salt residue, and damp conditions. The opposing thread design (one standard thread, one reverse thread) allows for fine length adjustment without removing the link from the vehicle, and the indicator line ensures correct orientation during installation. The centered hole accommodates M6 fasteners and provides the pivot point for suspension articulation. Build quality is consistent with Axial's reputation for manufacturing reliable off-road RC components that withstand the demands of unlimited trail buggy racing and recreational bashing. These links work in conjunction with the Capra 1.9's four-wheel independent suspension system to control geometry changes during compression and extension, directly influencing ride quality, traction, and handling response on uneven terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Axial Capra models are these links compatible with? — These M6 x 111mm stainless steel links are designed for multiple Capra 1.9 variants, including the 1/10 Capra 1.9 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy Kit (AXI03004B), the 1/10 Capra 1.9 4WS 4X4 Unlimited Trail Buggy RTR (AXI03022B), the 1/10 Capra Unlimited 1.9 4X4 Trail Buggy Brushed RTR (AXI03000 and AXI03000B models), and the 1/10 UTB10 Capra 1.9 4WS 4X4 Unlimited Trail Buggy Brushed RTR (AXI-1543). Check your vehicle's model number to confirm fitment before ordering.
- Why would I need to replace my RC buggy suspension links? — Suspension links wear out through normal use and exposure to impacts, aggressive trail driving, and rock crawling. Worn links develop play in their pivot points, reducing suspension precision and handling responsiveness. Replacing them restores geometry accuracy and performance. Additionally, many RC enthusiasts upgrade or adjust link lengths to fine-tune suspension geometry for specific terrain types or racing conditions.
- What does the indicator line on the link do? — The indicator line marks the correct orientation for installation, preventing accidental installation in reverse orientation which would compromise suspension geometry and vehicle handling. This simple but effective design feature reduces installation errors and ensures proper performance immediately after fitting.
- Can I adjust the link length after installation? — Yes, one of the key advantages of these links is the centered hole design, which allows you to adjust link length without removing the link from your Capra 1.9 by adjusting the opposing threads. This is incredibly convenient for fine-tuning suspension geometry during track sessions or adjusting for different terrain conditions without complete vehicle disassembly.
- Are stainless steel links better than standard steel for RC buggies? — Yes, stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard mild steel, which is particularly important in the UK where moisture, rain, and humid conditions can cause rust on untreated steel components. Stainless steel links maintain their structural integrity and appearance longer, reducing maintenance requirements and extending component lifespan.
- Do I need any special tools to install these links? — Installation requires standard RC tools: an appropriately-sized wrench or socket for M6 fasteners, and potentially an RC link tool if you're adjusting length. Basic mechanical knowledge of suspension work is recommended to ensure correct installation and geometry setup.
