Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Steering Link 105mm represents quality engineering focused on suspension geometry and steering responsiveness. As a chassis spare component, the steering link plays a vital role in translating your servo input into precise wheel positioning, directly affecting how your 1/10th scale trail vehicle handles corners, obstacles, and varied terrain. The 105mm length is engineered to work in harmony with the Centaur's suspension design, maintaining the correct angles between the steering servo, the tie rods, and the steering knuckles. This dimensional accuracy ensures that steering input feels responsive and natural, without binding or excessive play that could develop as components wear. Built to genuine FTX specifications, this steering link is manufactured from materials selected to withstand the forces encountered during trail running, rock crawling, and general off-road bashings. Whether you're putting in serious miles on weekend trail sessions or competing in RC car events across the UK, having factory-original steering links ready ensures your Centaur maintains the precise handling characteristics that make it such a capable trail machine. The two-piece configuration provides excellent value, allowing you to replace both steering links simultaneously and restore your vehicle to factory geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a steering link and why does it need replacing? — A steering link is a critical suspension component that connects your servo to the steering knuckles, translating servo input into wheel positioning. During trail running, rock crawling, and general off-road use, steering links are subjected to constant forces and occasional impacts that can bend, crack, or wear them out. Replacing worn or damaged steering links is essential for maintaining precise steering geometry and responsive handling characteristics.
- Will this steering link fit my FTX Centaur? — Yes, this 105mm steering link is specifically engineered for the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR trail vehicle, including both the blue variant (FTX5475B) and the red variant (FTX5475R). As a genuine FTX factory spare, it provides perfect fitment without any modification required.
- How often should I replace my steering links? — The frequency of replacement depends on your usage intensity and terrain. Casual weekend bashers might replace them annually or less frequently, whilst competitors and serious enthusiasts who regularly push their RC cars UK to the limit may find themselves replacing steering links multiple times per season. Inspect your links regularly for bends or cracks, and replace them immediately if damage is visible.
- Why should I buy genuine FTX steering links rather than aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine FTX steering links are engineered and tested to exact specifications that match your Centaur's suspension geometry, servo throw, and steering feel. Factory-original parts ensure your vehicle maintains the precise handling characteristics that designers intended, whilst aftermarket alternatives may introduce inconsistencies in geometry that affect steering response and overall vehicle behaviour.
- Can I install these steering links myself? — Yes, steering links are relatively straightforward to replace if you have basic RC car maintenance experience and the appropriate tools. However, if you're unfamiliar with suspension work, we recommend consulting your Centaur manual or seeking assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts at your local hobby shop.
- Are these steering links metal or plastic? — The source material specifications are not provided; however, as genuine FTX factory spares engineered for the Centaur's suspension, they utilise the same durable materials as your original equipment.
