Key Features
- CNC-Machined Aluminium 7075 Construction — This rear upper link is manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminium 7075, which offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior durability compared to standard aluminium or composite materials, ensuring your suspension geometry remains consistent even under extreme loads from your 8S brushless setup.
- Adjustable Length Design (178-208mm) — The length can be adjusted between 178 and 208 millimetres, allowing you to dial in precisely the suspension geometry you need for your specific driving style, track layout, and vehicle setup, giving you complete control over castor, camber, and overall handling characteristics.
- HD Steel M8 Screw Pin — The included high-durability steel M8 screw pin provides a robust connection point that resists bending and failure even under the extreme forces generated by high-powered RC vehicles, whilst remaining easy to service and adjust as needed.
- Precision Engineering — Every component is CNC-machined to tight tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment with your Arrma 8S vehicle and eliminating any play or inconsistency in your suspension setup.
- Direct Compatibility — Specifically engineered to fit Arrma Kraton 8S (ARA110002BT1 and ARA110002BT2) and Arrma Outcast 8S (ARA5810B and ARA5210B) models, requiring no modification or additional adapters.
- Multiple Colour Options — Available in black, silver, and red finishes, allowing you to match your vehicle's colour scheme or personalise your RC car UK setup according to your preferences.
Technical Performance
The Vitavon Kraton 8S Outcast 8S CNC Alu7075 Rear Upper Link represents a significant engineering upgrade that directly impacts your vehicle's suspension performance and longevity. Crafted from aerospace-specification aluminium 7075, this component delivers the rigidity and strength necessary to handle the extreme forces generated by 8S LiPo batteries powering modern brushless RC vehicles. The material choice is critical—aluminium 7075 is recognised for its superior strength compared to standard 6061 aluminium whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel, creating the perfect balance between durability and weight savings. The adjustable length feature (178-208mm) enables you to optimise your vehicle's geometry for your specific application, whether you're running a high-speed buggy across open terrain or navigating technical obstacle courses. The precision CNC machining ensures that every dimension meets exacting tolerances, eliminating the slop and inconsistency that can develop in lower-quality components. The inclusion of an HD steel M8 screw pin provides a connection point that can withstand the constant stress cycles inherent in competitive and recreational RC bashing. For drivers of Arrma 8S vehicles—whether the legendary Kraton 8S or the formidable Outcast 8S—this rear upper link is an essential upgrade that will noticeably improve suspension response, consistency, and overall vehicle feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Arrma vehicles is this rear upper link compatible with? — This Vitavon rear upper link is specifically engineered for the Arrma Kraton 8S (model codes ARA110002BT1 and ARA110002BT2) and the Arrma Outcast 8S (model codes ARA5810B and ARA5210B). Both vehicles are 1/5 scale platforms powered by 8S LiPo batteries, and this component is designed to handle the extreme forces these powerful setups generate.
- What does adjustable length 178-208mm mean and why does it matter? — The rear upper link can be adjusted to any length between 178 and 208 millimetres by repositioning where the M8 screw pin mounts. This adjustability allows you to fine-tune your vehicle's castor angle and overall suspension geometry—changing the length alters how your suspension responds to acceleration, braking, and cornering, enabling you to optimise handling for your specific driving style and track conditions.
- Why is aluminium 7075 better than standard aluminium for RC parts? — Aluminium 7075 is an aerospace-grade alloy that offers significantly greater strength than common 6061 aluminium, making it ideal for high-performance RC applications where components must withstand extreme loads from powerful brushless motors and 8S LiPo batteries. Despite its superior strength, it remains substantially lighter than steel, providing the perfect balance for RC applications.
- Can I install this myself? — Yes, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge. The component simply replaces your existing rear upper link using standard tools. However, if you're unfamiliar with suspension geometry or prefer professional installation, we recommend consulting experienced RC builders or visiting a hobby shop—RC Model Shop in Walsall can provide guidance if needed.
- What colour options are available? — The Vitavon rear upper link is offered in three colours: black, silver, and red. Choose the colour that matches your vehicle's scheme or your personal preference.
- Is this suitable for both racing and recreational bashing? — Absolutely. Whether you're competing in organised RC racing events or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, the durability and adjustability of this component make it suitable for both applications. The CNC-machined construction and high-strength aluminium 7075 material ensure it will withstand the demands of either use case.
- How long will this component last? — The CNC-machined aluminium 7075 construction is exceptionally durable and should provide many seasons of reliable service with proper maintenance. The component is not a consumable part and should last the lifetime of your vehicle unless damaged in a significant impact.
