Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS Link 3 X 21mm represents a critical component within the suspension system of one of FTX's most respected brushless rally vehicles. At 21mm in length, this link dimension is precisely calculated to maintain the correct suspension geometry when the vehicle is at ride height, during compression, and during extension. Suspension links directly affect the anti-squat and anti-dive characteristics of your rally car, influencing how the vehicle behaves under acceleration, braking, and cornering forces. The engineering of this component reflects FTX's understanding of rally dynamics, where maintaining consistent suspension geometry through varied terrain is essential for competitive performance. As a wear item, suspension links can become bent, cracked, or stretched through heavy use, making regular inspection and replacement part of essential RC car maintenance. The 21mm specification ensures this link matches the suspension design of the MK2RS platform, maintaining the carefully calibrated suspension geometry that FTX engineers have developed for optimal rally performance on varied UK terrain and competition surfaces.
