Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Link 64mm components represent precision engineering designed for 1/10th scale RC trail vehicles and rock crawlers. Suspension links are critical components that connect the chassis to the suspension system, determining suspension travel, handling geometry, and overall vehicle dynamics. The 64mm specification indicates these are designed for mid-range suspension geometry applications on the Centaur platform. These genuine FTX parts are manufactured to strict tolerances ensuring they perform identically to the original components fitted to new Centaur RTR vehicles. Whether you're replacing links damaged during enthusiastic trail running, recovering from a spectacular crash, or simply maintaining your RC car collection with fresh components, genuine FTX spares ensure your vehicle continues to handle with the precision and reliability that makes the Centaur a favourite amongst UK RC hobbyists. The two-piece configuration allows complete suspension refresh on both sides of your vehicle, critical for maintaining the balanced handling that trail vehicles demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles do the FTX Centaur Link 64mm fit? — These links are specifically compatible with the FTX5475R Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle in red and the FTX5475B Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle in blue. Always verify your model number before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.
- Why do I need replacement suspension links for my RC car UK? — Suspension links endure constant stress during off-road use, rock crawling, and trail running. They can bend, crack, or wear with heavy use. Replacing them ensures your suspension geometry remains correct, maintaining the handling, traction, and stability your Centaur was designed to deliver.
- Should I replace both links at once? — Yes. Replacing both links simultaneously ensures your suspension geometry is perfectly balanced on both sides of your RC vehicle. Using one old and one new link can create asymmetrical handling and unpredictable vehicle behaviour, particularly on challenging terrain.
- How do I know if my suspension links need replacement? — Inspect your links regularly for bending, cracks, or visible damage. If your RC crawler pulls to one side despite correct steering trim, if suspension feels loose or unresponsive, or if you notice uneven tyre wear, your links may need replacement. Any visible damage necessitates immediate replacement to prevent further suspension system damage.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are official FTX manufacturer parts supplied through authorised retailers. Genuine spare parts guarantee compatibility, correct fitment, and the performance your RC trail vehicle deserves.
- What is the part number for ordering? — The model number is FTX10430. Always reference this when ordering to ensure you receive the correct components for your Centaur.
