For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking genuine replacement parts backed by manufacturer expertise, the Element RC FT Enduro HC Links represent excellent value and reliability.
Key Features
- High Clearance (HC) Geometry — The HC specification provides increased suspension travel and greater ground clearance compared to standard links, allowing your suspension to articulate further and absorb more challenging terrain, which is essential for rock crawling and technical trail driving where maximum suspension movement directly translates to better obstacle negotiation.
- High Strength Steel Construction — These links are manufactured from premium high strength steel that resists bending, cracking and deformation even under extreme loads and hard landings, ensuring they maintain their integrity through countless bashing sessions and competitive use without permanent damage.
- Nickel Plated with Black Treatment — All FT links feature a dual-finish protective coating system with nickel plating as the primary layer and a secondary black treatment, providing corrosion resistance, enhanced durability, and an attractive appearance that resists rust and oxidation even when exposed to mud, water, and harsh trail conditions typical of UK off-road RC driving.
- Laser-Etched Identification — Each link features laser-etched FT branding and clearly marked link length specifications, making identification easy during assembly and maintenance whilst providing a professional, finished appearance to your suspension components.
- OEM Quality Genuine Part — As the official Element RC component with manufacturer part number EL42188, these are genuine factory parts that guarantee perfect fitment and compatibility with your Element RC Enduro platform, avoiding the quality inconsistencies and fitment issues sometimes associated with aftermarket alternatives.
Technical Performance

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these links compatible with my Element RC Enduro Trail Truck? — Yes, these Element RC FT Enduro HC Links 108mm (EL42188) are specifically designed for the full Element RC Enduro range, including the Enduro, Enduro Gatekeeper Rock Crawler/Trail Truck, Enduro Trail Truck, and Enduro Trail Truck models with Knightrunner variants. They will fit directly onto your vehicle's suspension without modification.
- What is the difference between HC (high clearance) and standard geometry links? — High clearance links provide increased suspension travel and greater ground clearance compared to standard geometry links. The HC configuration allows your suspension to articulate further over obstacles and rough terrain, making them ideal for rock crawling, technical trail driving, and extreme off-road conditions where maximum suspension movement is critical for performance.
- Will these links improve my RC crawler's performance? — If you're replacing worn or damaged links, new genuine Element RC links will restore your suspension to optimal condition, improving articulation, maintaining correct geometry, and enhancing overall handling. The HC geometry specifically provides enhanced clearance and travel compared to standard links, which many crawlers prefer for technical terrain.
- What makes these better than aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM Element RC parts manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your Enduro platform. They feature premium high strength steel construction with nickel plating and black protective treatment, providing superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to many aftermarket options. As the manufacturer's original parts, they maintain the correct suspension geometry and geometry that Element RC engineers designed into your vehicle.
- How often will I need to replace my links? — Link longevity depends on your driving intensity and terrain. Under normal bashing and trail driving, quality OEM links like these Element RC components can last for several seasons. However, if you bend a link in a crash or notice suspension geometry changes, replacement is essential to maintain proper handling and vehicle performance.
- Are these links easy to install? — Element RC links are straightforward to install if you have basic RC maintenance skills and the appropriate tools (typically a hex driver or wrench depending on your suspension design). If you're unfamiliar with RC suspension maintenance, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance or recommend professional setup services.
