These 3x16mm pins are manufactured using premium materials and precision engineering to handle the demanding forces generated during aggressive RC driving.

Having replacement pins on hand ensures you can quickly repair your vehicle after damage or maintain optimal suspension performance by replacing worn components, which is essential for keeping your RC car UK ready for action.
- What makes these extreme heavy-duty pins better than standard suspension pins? — Extreme heavy-duty pins are engineered with stronger materials and manufacturing specifications to withstand greater forces and impacts than standard pins. This means they are less likely to bend, break or fail during aggressive driving, making them ideal for serious bashers and competitive drivers who push their ready to run RC vehicles to the limit.
- How many pins do I need to upgrade my suspension? — The specific number of pins required depends on your vehicle's suspension design and how many suspension mounting points you want to upgrade. This pack contains six pins, which is typically sufficient for most upgrade applications, but you should consult your vehicle's manual or the #9080 upgrade kit instructions for specific requirements.
