Overview
The Losi Hinge Pin Set: 22S is an essential replacement or upgrade component for Losi 22S platform RC vehicles. This precision-engineered hinge pin set is designed for hobbyists and competitive RC enthusiasts who demand reliable performance and durability from their RC car UK setups. Whether you're maintaining your existing Losi 22S model or looking to upgrade your suspension geometry, this genuine OEM component ensures your RC buggy or truck performs at its best on the track or field.
Hinge pins are critical suspension components that connect the suspension arms to the main chassis, allowing controlled movement and articulation during cornering, acceleration and braking. Over time, hinge pins can wear, bend or become damaged through normal use, particularly if you're pushing your RC model hard in competitive environments or demanding terrain. Having a quality replacement set on hand ensures you can quickly restore your vehicle to peak performance without extended downtime.
Manufactured by Losi, a recognised leader in precision RC vehicle engineering and competition-grade components, this hinge pin set meets the exact specifications required for Losi 22S platform vehicles. Available from RC Model Shop with free mainland UK delivery on orders over £99, upgrading or maintaining your RC model has never been more convenient.

Technical Performance
The Losi Hinge Pin Set: 22S represents Losi's commitment to manufacturing durable, reliable suspension components for their 22S-class vehicles. Hinge pins are cylindrical metal components that serve as the pivot points for suspension arms, allowing vertical movement whilst maintaining precise alignment and geometry. The 22S platform represents Losi's popular 1/22-scale class of RC vehicles, which demand compact, lightweight yet robust components capable of withstanding competitive use and varied terrain conditions. Genuine Losi hinge pins are manufactured from hardened steel to resist bending and wear, ensuring consistent suspension performance through hundreds of hours of operation. The set provides all necessary pins required for a complete suspension refresh, allowing RC enthusiasts to maintain their vehicles to original factory specifications. As part of a broader range of Losi 22S spares and tune-ups, this component integrates seamlessly with other OEM parts such as suspension arms, shock towers, chassis plates and caster blocks available through RC Model Shop.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are hinge pins and why do I need them for my RC car? — Hinge pins are the cylindrical metal pivot points that connect your suspension arms to the chassis, allowing your RC vehicle's suspension to move up and down. Over time, these pins can become bent, worn or damaged through normal use, causing sloppy handling, inconsistent suspension response and poor cornering performance. Replacing them with genuine Losi parts restores your suspension to factory specifications and improves handling dramatically.
- How do I know if my hinge pins need replacing? — Common signs include loose or wobbly suspension arms that rattle during operation, inconsistent suspension travel between left and right sides, difficulty achieving consistent vehicle setup at the track, or visible bending or wear on the pins themselves. If you've had a significant crash or impact, it's wise to inspect and potentially replace hinge pins as a preventative measure.
- Is this suitable for both competitive racing and casual bashing? — Absolutely. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your Losi 22S at the track or a weekend hobbyist bashing in the park, genuine OEM hinge pins are essential for maintaining reliable suspension performance and protecting your investment in your RC vehicle.
- Will this fit my Losi 22S model? — Yes, this hinge pin set is designed specifically for the Losi 22S platform and provides direct fitment without modification or adaptation. As a genuine OEM Losi component, compatibility is guaranteed.
- Do I need any special tools to install hinge pins? — Hinge pin replacement is generally straightforward and requires only basic RC tools such as a hex key set and potentially a small punch to help remove and install the pins. Consult your Losi 22S manual for specific installation instructions.
- How often should I replace my hinge pins? — This depends on usage intensity and driving conditions. Competitive drivers may replace pins every few months, whilst casual users might do so annually or only when damage is evident. Regular inspection is recommended, and keeping spare pins in your tool kit ensures you're never caught without this critical component.
