Technical Performance
The MT12 Rear Upper & Lower Link Set represents precision engineering focused on suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Suspension links are critical load-bearing components that maintain the correct angles and heights of your RC truck's suspension system, directly influencing how your vehicle tracks, corners, and responds to terrain. Team Associated has engineered these links to exact specifications that work in harmony with the rest of the MT12 platform's suspension design, which features sophisticated geometry optimised for both speed and stability. The inclusion of two different link lengths—2.45 inches and 3.10 inches—provides the correct geometry angles for your rear suspension, ensuring your truck maintains proper ride height and suspension travel. These components are designed to withstand the stresses of regular RC driving, from casual backyard running to more aggressive track sessions. By using genuine Associated parts rather than aftermarket alternatives, you ensure that your suspension system maintains the engineering integrity that Team Associated designed into the MT12 platform. The wear characteristics of suspension links are well understood in the RC hobby, and keeping replacements on hand as part of your regular maintenance regime is the mark of a serious RC enthusiast who wants their vehicle performing at its best.
