Key Features
- Adjustable Turnbuckle Design — The exposed 32mm turnbuckle section allows you to easily adjust toe angle using standard RC tools, enabling fine-tuning of your steering geometry without removing the link from the truck, which is invaluable for pit-side adjustments during racing or practice sessions.
- 58mm Centre-to-Centre Length — This precise dimension ensures the FTX10124 restores factory steering geometry accurately, maintaining the correct suspension angles and steering response that your truck was designed to deliver.
- Steel Construction — Unlike plastic alternatives, the steel build resists bending and wear during aggressive off-road use, ensuring your steering remains responsive and reliable even after hard landings or high-speed impacts.
- Precision Ball Ends — The ball-end connections (spaced approximately 58mm apart) provide smooth articulation and quick-disconnect capability, allowing for rapid installation, removal, and replacement without special tools.
- Factory-Machined Finish — Consistent thread engagement and smooth surfaces ensure the turnbuckle mechanism operates smoothly, maintaining consistent adjustment feel and preventing cross-threading or slipping during tuning.
- Universal Fitment Across Multiple Platforms — Compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck, FTX Ramraider monster truck (both brushed and brushless editions), and the FTX Rokatan platform, this single component works across multiple model variants.
- Lightweight Construction — At approximately 30 grams, this steering link has minimal impact on your truck's overall weight and steering responsiveness, helping maintain precise handling without adding unwanted inertia to your front-end geometry.
- Easy Installation — With ball ends spaced approximately 58mm apart and a total length of 72mm, the FTX10124 fits seamlessly into the steering assembly of compatible 1/10-scale RC trucks, making installation straightforward for both experienced modellers and those newer to RC hobbies.
Technical Performance
The FTX Adjustable Steering Turnbuckle Link FTX10124 represents a carefully engineered approach to steering precision in 1/10-scale RC trucks. Constructed from high-quality steel, this component resists the bending and deformation that can occur when plastic tie rods impact rocks, jumps, or obstacles during off-road driving. The adjustable turnbuckle mechanism spans approximately 32mm of exposed length, providing substantial leverage for toe-angle adjustments whilst maintaining structural rigidity. The overall design measures approximately 72mm from tip to tip, with the critical 58mm centre-to-centre measurement taken between the ball ends ensuring accurate installation and proper steering geometry restoration. The steel construction and factory-machined finish ensure consistent thread engagement, preventing the cross-threading or slipping that can plague lower-quality steering components during pit adjustments. At 30 grams, the link is lightweight enough to avoid impacting steering responsiveness or adding unnecessary rotational inertia to your truck's front end. The ball-end connections provide smooth articulation and allow for quick disconnection if you need to replace or adjust the link, a critical feature for competitive racers who need fast pit service. Whether you're running a Ramraider monster truck in brushed or brushless configuration, an Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck, or a Rokatan platform, this steering link delivers the precision and durability required for consistent handling over multiple runs and seasons of use.
