Key Features
- Straight and High Clearance Geometry Options — Links are available in both straight and high clearance (HC) geometry configurations, allowing you to customise your suspension geometry and ground clearance according to your specific trail conditions and driving style. This flexibility means you can optimise your setup for rocky terrain, deep ruts, or tight technical sections.
- High Strength Steel Construction — These links are manufactured from high strength steel, providing excellent durability and resistance to impact damage during challenging rock crawling and trail driving. The material choice ensures these components won't bend or fail under the stress of aggressive off-road driving.
- Nickel Plated with Secondary Black Treatment — All FT links feature a professional nickel plating with a secondary black treatment finish, offering superior corrosion resistance and a polished, professional appearance. This dual-layer coating protects the steel from rust and oxidation, extending the lifespan of your suspension components even when exposed to wet British weather conditions.
- Laser-Etched FT Logo and Link Lengths — Each link features a laser-etched FT logo and clearly marked link lengths, making identification simple during assembly and maintenance. This precision marking ensures you install the correct length links in the right positions, eliminating guesswork during setup changes.
Technical Performance
The Element RC FT Enduro Links 73mm represent Element RC's engineering expertise in suspension component design for trail trucks and rock crawlers. At 73mm length, these links are purpose-designed for the Enduro platform, delivering precise suspension geometry and reliable handling characteristics on challenging terrain. The high strength steel material provides excellent torsional rigidity whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain responsive handling. The professional nickel plating with secondary black treatment ensures these components resist corrosion from moisture exposure, which is particularly important for UK RC drivers who frequently encounter damp conditions. The laser-etched markings provide both functional identification and demonstrate the quality manufacturing standards Element RC applies to every component. Whether you're running the links in straight geometry for standard trail driving or selecting high clearance variants for technical rock crawling with maximum ground clearance, these suspension links deliver the performance and durability expected from a premium RC parts manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Element RC trail trucks are compatible with the FT Enduro Links 73mm? — The EL42182 links are compatible with the Element RC Enduro Bushido Trail Truck RTR (Green, model EL40125) and the Element RC Enduro Bushido+ Trail Truck Blue RTR (model EL40126). These genuine replacement parts ensure perfect fitment and performance with your trail truck.
- What is the difference between straight and high clearance geometry links? — Straight geometry links provide standard suspension articulation and ground clearance for general trail driving and moderate obstacles. High clearance (HC) geometry links increase the vertical space between your chassis and the ground, allowing your truck to climb steeper terrain and navigate larger rocks without chassis contact. Choosing between straight and HC geometry depends on the terrain you drive most frequently.
- Are these links suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are replacement suspension links suitable for any skill level. However, they are spare parts rather than a complete ready-to-run RC car UK product. If you're new to RC trail trucks, you'll want to start with a ready-to-run Element RC Enduro truck first, then keep these replacement links as spares.
- Why choose laser-etched identification over painted markings? — Laser-etched markings are permanent and won't wear off with use, vibration, or cleaning. This ensures you can always identify the correct link length and orientation, making maintenance and setup changes faster and more reliable over the long term.
- How often should I replace my suspension links? — Suspension links typically last many hours of driving under normal conditions. You should replace them if they become bent, cracked, or show signs of damage from impacts. Having spare sets like the EL42182 on hand means you can quickly swap out damaged links and get back to driving.
