Key Features
- High-Clearance Design — The high-clearance geometry is specifically engineered to provide additional ground clearance for your RC trail truck, allowing it to navigate obstacles, rocks, and uneven terrain without catching the chassis or suspension components, which is absolutely critical when tackling technical rock crawling courses.
- Precision-Engineered Link Sizes — This set includes carefully calculated link sizes measuring 100mm, 108mm, and 114mm (measured end to end) in specific quantities that work together to optimise your suspension angles and travel, ensuring balanced performance across all driving conditions.
- Complete Suspension Solution — With four 100mm links, two 108mm links, and two 114mm links, this set provides everything needed to upgrade your suspension geometry, allowing you to fine-tune articulation and ground clearance precisely as your driving style demands.
- OEM Quality Components — Manufactured by Element RC to the same standards used in their factory-built RTR models, these links deliver the durability and precision fit that serious RC enthusiasts expect from genuine manufacturer parts.
- Broad Vehicle Compatibility — This link set is compatible with multiple Element RC Enduro variants including the Ecto, Trailwalker, Sendero HD, Utron SE, Gatekeeper, Knightrunner and other Enduro-platform vehicles, making it a versatile upgrade for various Enduro owners.
- Suspension Tuning Capability — By upgrading your link set, you gain the ability to dial in your suspension geometry precisely, which directly impacts how your RC trail truck handles compression, rebound, and articulation on real-world terrain.
Technical Performance
The Element RC FT Enduro High Clearance Link Set represents a focused engineering solution for suspension geometry optimisation on trail trucks and rock crawlers. The three distinct link lengths—100mm, 108mm, and 114mm—have been carefully calculated by Element RC engineers to achieve the ideal balance between ground clearance and suspension geometry. The high-clearance configuration ensures that your Enduro-platform vehicle sits higher off the ground while maintaining proper suspension kinematics, which is essential for crawling over large rocks, navigating washouts, and maintaining traction on severe terrain. By upgrading from stock links to this high-clearance set, you're making a meaningful change to how your suspension articulates, compresses, and extends during driving. The precision of the link lengths ensures that anti-roll bars, shock absorbers, and suspension arms work in perfect harmony, delivering responsive handling and predictable performance. Whether you're competing in rock crawling events or enjoying recreational trail driving, these links form the fundamental structure of a properly tuned suspension system. The engineering quality reflects Element RC's position as a recognised manufacturer in the RC crawling and trailing community, with products trusted by competitive and recreational drivers alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Element RC Enduro models are compatible with the EL42045 link set? — This link set is compatible with a comprehensive range of Element RC Enduro platform vehicles including the Ecto Trail Truck RTR in multiple colours (black, grey, green), the Zuul Tan Trail Truck RTR, the Knightrunner Trail Truck RTR in blue, the Trailwalker RTR in black, the Sendero HD RTR models in both standard black and titanium finishes, and the Utron SE Trail Truck RTR in silver, ensuring broad compatibility across the Enduro lineup.
- What is meant by 'high-clearance' link geometry? — High-clearance link geometry refers to the specific angles and lengths of the suspension links that position the vehicle higher off the ground whilst maintaining proper suspension kinematics. This design allows your RC trail truck or rock crawler to clear larger obstacles, rocks, and terrain features without the chassis or suspension components making contact, which is essential for serious rock crawling and extreme terrain driving.
- Why would I need to upgrade my suspension links? — Upgrading to the Element RC high-clearance link set optimises your suspension geometry, improves ground clearance, enhances articulation, and allows for more precise tuning of your vehicle's suspension characteristics. Whether you're stepping up from a stock RTR or replacing worn links, this upgrade directly impacts how your Enduro performs on technical terrain and allows you to extract better handling and responsiveness from your RC trail truck.
- Are these genuine Element RC parts? — Yes, the EL42045 is a genuine manufacturer part supplied directly by Element RC. As an authorised RC retailer, RC Model Shop stocks authentic Element RC components with full confidence in quality and compatibility, ensuring you receive genuine parts that meet the manufacturer's specifications.
- Can I mix these links with stock links? — These high-clearance links are engineered as a complete set and should replace your stock links entirely to achieve the intended geometry and performance. Mixing link sizes or combining stock and high-clearance links can compromise suspension geometry and handling characteristics, so replacement of the full set is recommended.
- What tools do I need to install this link set? — Installation of suspension links typically requires basic RC tools including ball end pliers, hex drivers, and possibly a prop socket or similar tool depending on your specific vehicle platform. Refer to your Element RC manual for detailed installation instructions specific to your Enduro model.
