Key Features
- High Clearance (HC) Geometry — The high-clearance design provides increased suspension travel and ground clearance compared to straight links, making these links particularly valuable for technical rock crawling and off-road trail driving where maximising suspension articulation is critical for navigating obstacles and challenging terrain.
- Sold Separately by Length — These links are available individually in different lengths, allowing you to build the exact suspension configuration you need for your specific driving requirements, whether you're setting up for crawling, general trail use, or competitive driving.
- High Strength Steel Construction — Manufactured from high strength steel, these links are engineered to withstand the demanding forces experienced during aggressive off-road driving, rock crawling, and trail truck use without bending or failing, ensuring long-term reliability and durability even under extreme driving conditions.
- Nickel Plated with Black Treatment — All FT links feature professional nickel plating with a secondary black treatment finish, providing excellent corrosion resistance and a premium aesthetic appearance that looks great on any trail truck or rock crawler, whilst protecting the steel from rust and wear.
- Laser-Etched Details — The FT logo and link lengths are precision laser-etched directly onto each link, providing permanent identification and maintaining a professional factory appearance that doesn't fade or wear off with use.
Technical Performance
These Element RC FT Enduro HC Links 100mm represent the pinnacle of suspension link engineering for small-scale RC trail trucks and rock crawlers. The high-clearance geometry is specifically engineered to provide maximum suspension articulation and ground clearance, which is essential for technical crawling and obstacle navigation. The high strength steel construction ensures these links maintain their integrity under the extreme stresses encountered during aggressive trail driving, jumping, and rock crawling. The nickel plating with secondary black treatment finish provides dual benefits: superior corrosion resistance to protect against moisture and mud exposure typical in UK off-road RC driving, and an attractive appearance that maintains the professional look of your truck. The precision laser-etched markings are a hallmark of Element RC quality, ensuring you can always identify link lengths and maintain proper suspension geometry. The 100mm length positions these links as primary suspension components suitable for the complete range of Element RC Enduro platform vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these suspension links suitable for rock crawling and trail driving? — Yes, absolutely. The high-clearance geometry is specifically designed for technical rock crawling and trail truck applications where maximum suspension articulation is required. The high strength steel construction ensures durability during demanding off-road use, making these links ideal for serious RC trail enthusiasts in the UK who push their vehicles hard.
- What is the difference between the straight and high-clearance (HC) links? — The high-clearance links provide increased suspension travel and ground clearance compared to straight links. This makes them better suited for technical crawling and extreme off-road terrain where maximum articulation is needed to navigate obstacles. The straight links provide a more direct suspension geometry if you prefer a tighter setup.
- Are these links available in different lengths? — Yes, Element RC Enduro links are sold separately by length, allowing you to customise your suspension geometry precisely to your requirements. The 100mm length is the standard full-length suspension link for the Enduro platform.
- How often do I need to replace these suspension links? — With proper maintenance, these high strength steel links should provide years of reliable service. However, regular inspection is recommended, and replacement should be considered if you notice any bending, cracks, or visible damage during off-road use.
- Will these links fit my existing Element RC trail truck? — These links are compatible with the complete Element RC Enduro range of trail trucks and rock crawlers. Check the compatibility list above to confirm your specific model is supported, though all Enduro platform vehicles use the same suspension link specifications.
- Why is the nickel plating with black treatment important? — The dual-finish nickel plating with secondary black treatment provides excellent protection against corrosion from mud, moisture, and salt often encountered in UK off-road driving environments. This extends the service life of the links and maintains their professional appearance far longer than uncoated steel.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
