Key Features
- Genuine Team Associated OEM Component — These rear lower links are manufactured by Team Associated to exact specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and durability with your MT12+ Lux platform without any fitment issues or compromises.
- Precision 86mm Length — The exact 86mm measurement is critical for maintaining proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics on your monster truck, affecting ride height, anti-squat and overall chassis balance during acceleration and cornering.
- Rear Suspension Geometry Control — Lower suspension links work in conjunction with upper links and shock absorbers to control the rear axle movement, maintaining consistent tyre contact patch and maximising traction whether you're blasting on dirt, grass or tarmac.
- Direct Replacement Parts — If your original rear lower links are damaged, bent or worn, these genuine Team Associated spares restore your MT12+ Lux to factory specifications without requiring any modifications or adaptations.
- Compatible with MT12 Monster Truck Range — These links are specifically engineered for the MT12 platform, which has earned respect in the UK RC community for its robust construction and realistic monster truck proportions.
- Quality Assured Construction — Team Associated suspension components are manufactured to strict quality standards using durable materials that withstand the rigours of competitive racing and casual bashing alike.
Technical Performance
The MT12+ Lux represents Team Associated's commitment to delivering serious monster truck performance in the ready-to-run RC car UK market. The suspension system, of which these rear lower links form a critical part, employs independent double-wishbone geometry that provides excellent ground clearance and axle articulation. The 86mm rear lower links work alongside the matching 86mm rear upper links (sold separately as part number 41153) to form the rear suspension linkages that control vertical wheel travel and maintain precise geometry through corners and jumps. The suspension design incorporates shock absorbers that allow for adjustable damping through silicone shock fluid viscosity selection, enabling tuning for different driving conditions and surfaces. The quality of these genuine Team Associated parts ensures that your MT12+ Lux maintains consistent handling characteristics throughout extended running sessions, whether you're running in cooler British weather or during warmer summer months. The durable construction materials used in these suspension links mean they can withstand repeated impacts, landing forces and the general stress of RC monster truck operation without premature wear or bending.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these rear lower links genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, these are official OEM components manufactured by Team Associated under part number AS41154. They are genuine suspension links designed specifically for the MT12+ Lux monster truck platform and offer the same quality and durability as components supplied with factory RTR kits.
- What is the difference between the 86mm rear lower links and upper links? — The MT12+ Lux suspension uses separate front and rear link sets. The rear lower links (86mm, part 41154) work with the rear upper links (also 86mm, part 41153) to form the complete rear suspension geometry. Both components are necessary for proper suspension function, though they may be purchased separately for replacement or upgrade purposes.
- Will these fit other Team Associated models? — These rear lower links are specifically engineered for the MT12 and MT12+ Lux monster truck platform. While Team Associated manufactures other RC vehicles like the CR12 Trail Truck and F-150 models, those vehicles use different suspension components. Always verify part compatibility before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.
- How do I install these rear lower links? — These suspension links connect between the chassis pivot points and the rear axle housing using pivot ball connections at each end. Installation requires removing the existing lower links by unbolting them at both connection points, then bolting the new links in place. A 1/4 inch hex driver set and blue thread locking adhesive are recommended to ensure secure fastening that won't loosen during driving.
- Are these parts suitable for beginners? — Suspension link replacement is an intermediate-level maintenance task. If you're new to RC cars UK maintenance, we recommend consulting the MT12+ Lux instruction manual or watching tutorial videos before attempting installation. RC Model Shop staff can offer guidance and support if you have specific questions about the installation process.
- What should I do if my suspension links are bent or damaged? — Bent or damaged suspension links should be replaced immediately, as they affect your vehicle's handling, stability and tyre wear. The 86mm dimension is precise and critical to suspension geometry, so attempting to straighten bent links is not recommended. Genuine replacement components from Team Associated ensure your monster truck performs correctly.
