Available in three striking colour options—silver, red, and black—these components combine functional excellence with aesthetic appeal, ensuring your high-performance RC buggy looks as professional as it performs.
If you're serious about RC hobby excellence, whether you're a seasoned competitor, an enthusiast basher, or someone upgrading their LOSI collection with quality aftermarket parts, the VITAVON CNC steering links are an investment in reliability and performance. The corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term durability even in challenging outdoor environments, whilst the precision CNC manufacturing guarantees consistent performance lap after lap.
Key Features
- CNC Machined 7075 Aluminium Alloy Construction — These steering links are manufactured from 7075 aluminium alloy, which offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that is particularly valuable in high-stress RC components. The precision CNC machining process ensures consistent tolerances and smooth surface finishes, eliminating the variability found in cast or stamped alternatives and delivering reliable performance every single time you take your RC buggy to the track or field.
- Dual Servo Compatibility — Purpose-designed to match the LOSI DBXL E2.0, 5T, and 5B steering system architecture, these links provide seamless dual servo integration that reduces unnecessary gear wear within your vehicle's steering mechanism. This compatibility translates directly into enhanced operational stability and more predictable steering response, giving you greater confidence and control during high-speed manoeuvres and technical sections.
- Adjustable Length Geometry — The hole-to-hole length can be adjusted between 70mm and 100mm, enabling you to optimise the Ackermann steering geometry of your specific vehicle setup. This adjustability is crucial for minimising tyre slip during aggressive cornering and allows you to dial in the perfect steering feel for your particular driving technique and track conditions.
- Corrosion-Resistant Silver Finish — The silver finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, protecting your steering links against the elements and extending their serviceable lifespan. This is particularly important for UK-based RC enthusiasts who face variable weather conditions and potentially damp environments, ensuring your investment in quality components remains protected for seasons of use.
- 4mm Rod End Diameter with 11mm Overall Width — The standardised 4mm through-hole diameter ensures compatibility with common servo linkage hardware and ball studs, whilst the 11mm overall width provides a slim profile that integrates cleanly into your vehicle's chassis without adding unnecessary bulk or weight to the steering assembly.
Technical Performance
These VITAVON steering links represent the pinnacle of precision engineering for 1/5 scale RC buggies. The 7075 aluminium alloy is specifically chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, a characteristic that makes it the material of choice for aerospace applications and high-performance RC components alike. Unlike inferior materials, 7075 aluminium offers outstanding rigidity whilst remaining lightweight, allowing your LOSI DBXL E2.0, 5T, or 5B to maintain optimal handling without unnecessary mass penalty. The CNC machining process guarantees that every component maintains precise dimensional tolerances, meaning your left and right steering links will be perfectly matched. This uniformity is essential for balanced handling and eliminates the frustrating pulling-to-one-side tendencies that can result from hand-fabricated or poorly machined alternatives. The dual servo design inherently reduces gear mesh wear within your vehicle's steering gearbox by distributing the steering load across two servo motors rather than concentrating it in a single point. This engineering sophistication translates into longer component life and more consistent steering feel over extended use. The adjustable length geometry, ranging from 70mm to 100mm hole-to-hole distance, allows you to manipulate your vehicle's Ackermann steering characteristics—the principle that allows inside and outside wheels to turn at different angles during cornering. By adjusting these links, you can minimise unwanted tyre scrub and slip, particularly important when you're pushing hard at the limit during competitive racing or spirited track days. The corrosion-resistant silver finish protects against moisture and environmental degradation, ensuring these components maintain their performance characteristics in damp UK conditions and rough outdoor environments where salt spray or moisture exposure might otherwise compromise lesser-quality parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these steering links suitable for both electric and nitro LOSI models? — Yes, these VITAVON CNC steering links are fully compatible with both the electric LOSI DBXL E2.0 and the nitro-powered LOSI 5T and 5B variants. The aluminium construction and dual servo design work equally effectively regardless of your power plant choice, making these universally applicable to your LOSI collection.
- What does the adjustable length feature actually do for my vehicle? — The adjustable 70-100mm hole-to-hole length allows you to fine-tune your vehicle's Ackermann steering geometry. Shorter settings increase steering sensitivity and reduce tyre slip in tight corners, whilst longer settings provide more progressive steering response. This adjustment capability lets you optimise handling for your specific track layout, surface conditions, and personal driving style.
- How do CNC machined parts compare to cast or stamped alternatives? — CNC machining produces components with precise, consistent tolerances that simply cannot be matched by casting or stamping processes. This means zero variability between left and right links, guaranteed dimensional accuracy, and superior surface finishes. For precision-demanding applications like steering geometry, this consistency is absolutely critical for reliable handling and performance.
- Will these steering links work with my existing servos? — These links are specifically designed for the LOSI dual servo steering system, featuring 4mm rod end holes that accept standard ball studs and servo linkage hardware used across the RC hobby. As long as your vehicle features the dual servo steering architecture of the DBXL E2.0, 5T, or 5B, these will integrate seamlessly with your existing servo setup.
- What colour should I order, and can I change colours later? — The default colour is silver, which offers excellent corrosion resistance and professional appearance. Red and black options are also available. If you require a different colour than the listed option, you can specify your preference in your order confirmation message when you purchase.
- How long do these steering links typically last? — The 7075 aluminium alloy and corrosion-resistant finish are engineered for extended longevity. Regular use and proper maintenance should yield many seasons of reliable operation. However, like all mechanical components subjected to impact and stress during RC vehicle operation, actual lifespan depends on driving intensity, track conditions, and maintenance practices.
