Overview
The AXIAL Rear Link Set Aluminum 80 94 101.5mm is a premium suspension component designed specifically for the SCX10 II rock crawler platform. This is an essential upgrade part for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliable performance and precise handling characteristics from their 1/10 scale vehicles. Whether you're tackling challenging terrain with your RC car UK collection or fine-tuning your SCX10 II for competitive rock crawling, this aluminium rear link set delivers the quality and engineering you'd expect from AXIAL, a recognised leader in off-road RC technology.
This rear link set is engineered to provide optimal suspension geometry and articulation for the SCX10 II 4WD platform. The aluminium construction combined with the three different length options (80mm, 94mm, and 101.5mm) allows builders and enthusiasts to customise their suspension setup to achieve their desired handling characteristics. Whether you're building from a raw kit or upgrading an existing RTR model, this component plays a crucial role in determining how your crawler responds to obstacles, maintains traction, and achieves that all-important crawl speed through technical terrain.
Available as both a replacement part for worn components and as an optional upgrade for builders who want to enhance their SCX10 II setup, this rear link set represents the kind of precision engineering that separates hobby-grade RC crawlers from truly capable machines. The AXIAL brand is trusted worldwide for producing durable, reliable components that withstand the rigours of rock crawling, and this part exemplifies that commitment to quality.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The rear links are manufactured from high-quality aluminium, providing an excellent balance between weight savings and durability that ensures your SCX10 II remains responsive whilst enduring the impacts and stresses of aggressive terrain.
- Multiple Length Options — This set provides three different link lengths (80mm, 94mm, and 101.5mm), allowing you to dial in your preferred suspension geometry and adjust your crawler's handling characteristics to suit your specific driving style and terrain preferences.
- SCX10 II Specific Design — These links are engineered precisely for the SCX10 II platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with the rock crawler's suspension geometry and mounting points.
- Replacement and Upgrade Capability — Whether you need to replace worn suspension components or upgrade from stock parts to improve your crawler's performance, this rear link set serves both functions effectively.
- Compatible with Multiple SCX10 II Variants — This part fits a broad range of SCX10 II models including the raw builders kit, the V2 variants, and various pre-built RTR models, making it a versatile solution for the SCX10 II community.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Rear Link Set Aluminum represents a fundamental component in the SCX10 II's suspension system. The aluminium material selection is critical for rock crawlers, as it provides sufficient rigidity to maintain suspension geometry under the extreme articulation demands of technical off-road driving, whilst remaining light enough to keep overall vehicle weight manageable. The availability of three discrete length options (80mm, 94mm, and 101.5mm) is not merely cosmetic—suspension link length directly influences the anti-squat characteristics, roll centre height, and overall kinematic behaviour of the suspension system. By selecting different lengths, builders can optimise the suspension for either maximum articulation and crawl speed through technical terrain or a more planted, stable stance for faster traversal over moderate obstacles. The engineering tolerances inherent in AXIAL's manufacturing process ensure that these links maintain dimensional stability throughout the life of the vehicle, preventing the suspension geometry drift that can occur with lower-quality alternatives. For rock crawlers specifically, suspension tuning through link length adjustments is a recognised and proven method for dialling in the exact behaviour required from different terrain types and driving techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which SCX10 II models are compatible with the AXIAL Rear Link Set Aluminum? — This rear link set is compatible with a comprehensive range of SCX10 II variants, including the 1/10 SCX10 II 1955 Ford F-100 4WD Truck Brushed RTR, the 1/10 SCX10 II 4WD Raw Builders Kit, the 1/10 SCX10 II 4WD Raw Builders Kit V2, the 1/10 SCX10 II Jeep Cherokee 4WD Rock Crawler Brushed RTR, the 1/10 SCX10 II UMG10 4WD Rock Crawler Kit, the 1/10 SCX10 II UMG10 6x6 Rock Crawler Brushed RTR, and the 1/10 Wraith 1.9 4WD Rock Crawler Brushed RTR. This broad compatibility makes it an excellent choice whether you own a ready to run RC crawler or are building a custom setup from a raw kit.
- What do the different link lengths do on my SCX10 II? — The three available lengths (80mm, 94mm, and 101.5mm) allow you to adjust your suspension's anti-squat geometry and suspension articulation characteristics. Shorter links generally increase anti-squat and change the suspension's kinematic behaviour, whilst longer links provide different articulation patterns. Experimenting with different lengths allows you to tune your crawler's performance to match your preferred driving style and terrain conditions.
- Is this a replacement part or an upgrade? — This rear link set functions as both. It can replace worn or damaged original components on an existing SCX10 II, or it can serve as an upgrade for builders who want to optimise their suspension setup during initial assembly or subsequent modifications.
- Why is aluminium used for these rear links? — Aluminium provides the ideal combination of properties for rock crawling: it offers excellent rigidity to maintain suspension geometry under extreme articulation, remains relatively lightweight to keep vehicle weight low, and possesses good durability for repeated impacts and stress. This material choice is why AXIAL specifies aluminium for these performance-critical suspension components.
- Will this part fit my raw builders kit? — Yes, this rear link set is fully compatible with the SCX10 II 4WD Raw Builders Kit and the V2 variant, making it an essential component if you're assembling a complete SCX10 II from a builders kit.
