Overview
The E-flite EFL 60 - 120 Strut-Ready Axle Pair (F-EFLG505) is a precision-engineered replacement component designed for large-scale RC aircraft projects. These adjustable axles are purpose-built to work seamlessly with E-flite's 60-120 size strut-ready retract systems, making them an essential spare part or upgrade component for modellers building or maintaining high-performance electric RC planes. Whether you're constructing a new scale warbird, restoring a damaged airframe, or upgrading an existing aircraft build, this axle pair ensures smooth, reliable landing gear operation that meets the demands of serious RC aircraft enthusiasts across the UK.
This product is specifically engineered for the 60-120 retract category, representing some of the largest and most capable electric retract systems in the E-flite range. The strut-ready design means these axles integrate perfectly with wire strut assemblies and door mount systems, allowing you to build complete, functional landing gear setups with confidence. RC modellers who work with scale models, ARTF and ARF balsa builds, or custom kit aircraft will appreciate the quality construction and authentic functionality these components bring to their projects. The axle pair comes ready to install and requires no modification, making it an ideal choice for both experienced builders and those new to fitting retract systems on larger models.
E-flite is a recognised leader in RC aircraft systems and components, and their retract equipment is trusted by modellers worldwide. The 60-120 range represents professional-grade engineering suitable for aircraft ranging from sport flyers to advanced scale builds. When you choose the EFL 60 - 120 Strut-Ready Axle Pair from RC Model Shop, you're selecting a component built to deliver smooth, reliable gear extension and retraction cycle after cycle, season after season. These axles form a critical part of your aircraft's landing system, so quality and precision matter enormously.
Key Features
- Strut-Ready Design — These axles are purpose-designed to work with strut-based retract assemblies, meaning they integrate seamlessly with E-flite's wire strut and door mount components to create a complete, functioning main landing gear system without requiring custom fabrication or modification.
- 60-120 Scale Compatibility — Built specifically for the largest E-flite retract category, these axles are engineered to support aircraft in the 60-120 weight class, making them suitable for substantial sport models, scale warbirds, and advanced electric RC planes that demand robust, reliable gear operation.
- Adjustable Configuration — The adjustable axle design allows you to fine-tune landing gear geometry to suit your specific airframe, ensuring optimal wheel alignment, ground clearance and retraction performance for your particular aircraft build.
- Smooth Operation — Precision-engineered construction ensures that landing gear extension and retraction cycles operate smoothly and reliably, essential for safe landings and protecting valuable scale models and large electric aircraft.
- Replacement and Upgrade Part — Whether you're replacing damaged axles, expanding your retract system, or building fresh landing gear for a new project, this pair provides the exact components you need without buying an entire retract assembly.
- E-flite Quality Engineering — Manufactured by E-flite, a trusted name in RC aircraft systems, these axles meet the same quality standards as complete retract units, ensuring durability and consistent performance across hundreds of flights.
Technical Performance
The EFL 60 - 120 Strut-Ready Axle Pair represents precision engineering designed specifically for the most demanding RC aircraft applications. These axles are manufactured to exact tolerances to ensure smooth rotation and reliable operation within strut-based landing gear systems. The adjustable design allows modellers to optimise landing gear geometry for their specific airframe, critical for achieving proper wheel alignment and ensuring the gear retracts cleanly into wheel wells or fuselage cavities. The 60-120 size classification indicates these axles are engineered for aircraft in the heavier weight categories served by E-flite's largest electric retract systems. Built from high-quality materials, the axles are designed to withstand the repeated stress cycles of takeoff, flight and landing operations. When installed as part of a complete strut-ready retract assembly, these axles enable smooth, repeatable gear cycles essential for protecting valuable models during hundreds of flights. The engineering emphasises reliability and ease of installation, allowing builders to integrate these components into new projects or upgrade existing aircraft without requiring specialist tools or complex modifications. Compatibility with E-flite's 60-120 retract range, including 90-degree main retract units and associated strut components, makes this an ideal choice for modellers building aircraft with specific space or geometry requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between strut-ready axles and standard axles? — Strut-ready axles are specifically engineered to integrate with E-flite's wire strut and door mount systems, allowing you to build complete landing gear assemblies by combining axles with strut components. This modular approach gives you flexibility in configuring your gear layout and makes it easier to install or upgrade landing systems on larger scale models.
- Can I use the EFL 60 - 120 Strut-Ready Axle Pair on my existing aircraft? — Yes, provided your aircraft has landing gear compatible with E-flite's 60-120 retract systems. You should verify that your current retract units and strut components are from the 60-120 range to ensure proper fit and function. These axles are designed as replacement or upgrade components for aircraft already equipped with or designed for the 60-120 system.
- Do these axles come with wheels? — No, the axle pair includes only the axles themselves. You will need to source appropriate wheels and tyres separately, selecting sizes and styles that suit your aircraft model and match your landing gear design. The axles will accept standard wheel and tyre combinations compatible with the 60-120 system.
- What size aircraft are these axles suitable for? — The 60-120 classification indicates these axles are designed for larger electric RC aircraft, typically ranging from substantial sport models to advanced scale builds. The specific maximum weight supported depends on your complete retract assembly, strut configuration and aircraft design, but the 60-120 range represents E-flite's most capable electric retract category.
- Are these axles adjustable? — Yes, the strut-ready design includes adjustable functionality, allowing you to configure landing gear geometry to suit your specific airframe. This adjustability is essential for achieving optimal wheel alignment and ensuring smooth retraction performance tailored to your aircraft's design.
- What should I do if I'm unsure about compatibility? — Contact our team at RC Model Shop before ordering. Our knowledgeable staff are experienced RC modellers themselves and can advise on compatibility for your specific aircraft, whether you're working with foamies, ARTF and ARF balsa builds, or custom kit aircraft.
