The quality construction and precision engineering mean you can be confident in the durability and performance of these components, even during the most demanding off-road sessions.
Key Features
- High Strength Steel Construction — These links are manufactured from high strength steel, providing exceptional durability and resistance to the impacts and stresses encountered during off-road driving, ensuring they maintain their integrity through countless hours of trail running and rock crawling.
- Available in Straight and High Clearance Geometry — The availability of both straight and high clearance (HC) geometry options allows you to customise your suspension setup precisely, giving you flexibility to achieve the exact ride height, articulation, and ground clearance you need for your specific driving style and terrain conditions.
- Nickel Plated with Black Treatment Finish — All FT links receive a dual-layer finish with nickel plating as the base layer and a secondary black treatment on top, creating a corrosion-resistant coating that protects against rust and maintains a professional appearance even after extended use in wet and muddy conditions typical of UK RC trails.
- Laser-Etched Identification — The FT logo and link length are precision laser-etched directly onto each link, allowing you to instantly identify the part and its specifications without needing to refer to packaging or documentation, which is invaluable when managing multiple spare parts in your workshop.
- 108mm Length Specification — The 108mm length positions these links at the extended end of the range, making them ideal for vehicles requiring maximum suspension travel, enhanced articulation, and improved ground clearance for tackling challenging terrain with confidence.
Technical Performance
The Element RC FT Enduro Links 108mm represent a significant investment in the longevity and performance of your RC car UK suspension system. Manufactured from high strength steel and finished with a nickel plating and secondary black treatment process, these links deliver the durability needed for serious trail work and rock crawling. The engineering behind these components reflects Element RC's commitment to quality; the dual-layer protective finish ensures resistance to corrosion and oxidation even in wet British conditions, whilst the high strength steel material resists bending and deformation under the considerable stresses generated during suspension articulation and impacts. At 108mm in length, these links provide extended travel and improved articulation, allowing your Enduro or trail truck to tackle more challenging terrain with greater confidence. The precision laser-etching adds both functional clarity and professional aesthetics to the finished product. Whether you're replacing worn components or upgrading your suspension geometry for competition purposes, these links maintain the exacting standards Element RC is known for throughout the RC hobby community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Element RC vehicles are compatible with the 108mm FT Enduro Links? — These links are designed for the Element RC Enduro, Enduro Gatekeeper Rock Crawler/Trail Truck, and all variants of the Enduro Trail Truck including the Knightrunner models. If you own any of these vehicles and need suspension replacements or wish to experiment with different geometries, these 108mm links are the correct choice for your setup.
- What is the difference between straight and high clearance geometry options? — Element RC offers these links in both straight geometry and high clearance (HC) geometry configurations. The high clearance version provides increased suspension travel and ground clearance, allowing you to raise your vehicle's ride height and achieve greater articulation, whilst the straight geometry maintains more conservative height characteristics. Your choice depends on the terrain you typically drive and the specific handling characteristics you want to achieve.
- Why should I buy genuine Element RC suspension links? — Genuine Element RC links are engineered to precise tolerances and manufactured from quality materials like the high strength steel used in these 108mm components. The dual-layer nickel and black finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to lower-cost alternatives, and the precision manufacturing ensures consistent performance and longevity. Investing in genuine parts from reputable manufacturers protects your RC investment and maintains the integrity of your suspension system.
- What makes the protective finish on these links special? — The nickel plating with secondary black treatment provides a two-stage protective system that guards against rust, corrosion, and oxidation. This is particularly valuable for UK RC enthusiasts who frequently drive in wet conditions, muddy terrain, and unpredictable British weather. The dual-layer approach extends the working life of the links and maintains their appearance and functionality for considerably longer than unfinished or single-layer coated alternatives.
- Are these links difficult to install on my RC vehicle? — Suspension link replacement is a straightforward process on Element RC trail trucks and rock crawlers, typically requiring only basic tools and minimal mechanical knowledge. If you're familiar with basic RC maintenance and suspension adjustments, installing these 108mm links will be straightforward. If you're new to RC maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance on the installation process.
