Technical Performance
The Team Associated MT12 Front Upper & Lower Link Set represents quality engineering and precision manufacturing designed specifically for the demands of RC monster truck driving in the UK and beyond. The set comprises suspension links in two distinct lengths—2.25 inches and 2.95 inches—allowing you to configure your front suspension geometry to match your driving preferences, terrain type, and skill level. Front suspension links on RC monster trucks must withstand tremendous stresses during jumps, hard landings, high-speed cornering, and aggressive bashing; this genuine Team Associated component is engineered to factory specifications using materials and manufacturing processes proven through extensive testing on the MT12 platform. The precision-engineered linkage geometry maintains proper suspension alignment, which is absolutely critical for consistent steering response, predictable handling characteristics, and longevity of other suspension components. Whether you're running your MT12 on smooth tarmac, rough grass, dirt tracks, or mixed terrain typical of UK RC driving environments, maintaining factory-specification suspension geometry with genuine OEM components ensures your vehicle performs reliably and handles predictably. The MT12 platform earned its reputation partly through responsive handling and suspension geometry that adapts well to different drivers and conditions—keeping that geometry accurate through OEM spare parts like this link set is the most cost-effective way to maintain that performance and reliability long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this Team Associated MT12 link set fit my vehicle? — This genuine OEM spare part is specifically engineered for the Team Associated MT12 Monster Truck, MT12 Monster Van, and CR12 platforms. Before ordering, verify your vehicle model to ensure compatibility; the part number AS41112 is the definitive identifier for this exact component set.
- Why should I replace my MT12 suspension links? — Suspension links on RC monster trucks experience constant stress and wear from jumps, landings, high-speed driving and aggressive bashing.

Replacing them with fresh OEM components restores factory handling characteristics and prevents geometry drift.

These two lengths allow you to configure your front suspension geometry to suit your driving style, driving environment, and personal preferences for suspension response and handling balance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a straightforward replacement spare part suitable for any RC hobbyist, from complete beginners to experienced racers. If you already own an MT12 Monster Truck, MT12 Monster Van, or CR12 and have basic RC maintenance experience, you can comfortably install these links yourself using standard tools and the factory service manual.
- What is the difference between genuine Team Associated spares and aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts are engineered to exact factory specifications using proven materials and manufacturing processes. They guarantee perfect fitment, correct geometry, and reliability without any guesswork. Aftermarket alternatives may vary in quality, tolerances and long-term durability; genuine parts preserve your vehicle's handling characteristics exactly as designed by Team Associated engineers.
