Key Features
- Available in Straight and High Clearance Geometry — These links come in two distinct configurations to suit different suspension setups and driving styles, allowing you to optimise your vehicle's geometry for either standard performance or maximum ground clearance in extreme terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Element RC FT Enduro Links 100mm suitable for all Element RC vehicles? — These 100mm links are specifically engineered for Element RC Enduro series vehicles including the Enduro Gatekeeper Rock Crawler, Enduro Trail Truck, and Knightrunner models. Element RC also produces links in 73mm, 83mm, and 93mm lengths for other applications, so it's important to verify your vehicle's requirements before ordering. Check your vehicle's manual or contact our team at RC Model Shop if you're unsure which length you need.
- What is the difference between straight and high clearance geometry options? — Element RC offers these links in two geometry configurations to suit different driving preferences and terrain types. Straight geometry provides standard suspension characteristics suitable for general trail driving, whilst high clearance (HC) geometry raises the mounting points to increase ground clearance, making it ideal for extreme rock crawling and technical obstacle courses where maximum undercarriage clearance is essential.
- Do these links require any special maintenance? — Whilst Element RC FT Enduro Links are built from high-strength nickel-plated steel with secondary black treatment for excellent corrosion resistance, regular inspection is recommended, particularly after wet weather driving or muddy sessions. Occasionally rinsing your RC vehicle with fresh water and allowing components to dry thoroughly will help maintain the protective coating and extend component lifespan.
- How often should I replace my suspension links? — Suspension links are wear items that may need replacement periodically depending on driving frequency and terrain intensity. If you notice bending, cracks, or loose connections in your suspension, it's time to replace the affected links. Having spare links on hand is a smart practice for regular RC enthusiasts, ensuring you can quickly get back on the track or trail after any damage.
- Why are these links sold separately by length? — Element RC's approach of selling links separately by length is actually beneficial for customers, as it allows you to order exactly the specifications you need without paying for unnecessary variations. This system ensures precision matching of components for your specific vehicle configuration and provides flexibility when building custom suspension setups.
- Are these compatible with aftermarket suspension upgrades? — The Element RC FT Enduro Links 100mm are designed specifically for Element RC Enduro vehicles. If you're planning to use aftermarket suspension components, we recommend verifying compatibility with the original equipment specifications or contacting our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for guidance on component compatibility.
