Technical Performance
The FTX Rally Aluminium Steering Linkage represents genuine engineering excellence in the competitive world of 1/10th scale brushless rally racing. Manufactured from premium aluminium alloy, this component offers the rigidity necessary to eliminate compliance in the steering column while remaining lightweight enough to maintain your brushless rally car's sprightly performance characteristics. The aluminium construction resists corrosion and wear far better than plastic alternatives, particularly valuable if you're running your FTX MK2RS in variable UK weather conditions or on abrasive surfaces typical of rally stages. As part of FTX's integrated design philosophy for the MK2RS platform, this steering linkage works in harmony with the vehicle's servo mount, steering arms, and ball end components to create a cohesive steering system that responds instantly to driver input. The component's engineering ensures compatibility with standard servo sizes commonly found in 1/10th scale rally platforms and maintains proper geometry to prevent binding or excessive play during high-speed manoeuvres. Whether you're upgrading from a standard plastic linkage or replacing a damaged component, this aluminium upgrade delivers the consistency and precision that separates competitive drivers from casual racers. The durability of aluminium means this component will maintain its performance characteristics through season after season of racing, track days, and recreational driving with your brushless-powered FTX MK2RS.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Rally Aluminium Steering Linkage suitable for my FTX MK2RS? — Yes, this steering linkage is engineered specifically for both the FTX5470W white and FTX5470BK black variants of the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car RTR. It is a direct replacement component for the standard steering linkage on these models.
- What is the advantage of aluminium steering linkage over plastic? — Aluminium steering linkage components provide superior rigidity, which eliminates flex and play in the steering system. This results in more responsive steering feel, better consistency through corners, and improved durability under the stresses of competitive rally racing. Aluminium also resists wear better than plastic over extended use.
- Do I need any special tools to fit this steering linkage? — Installation of the FTX Rally Aluminium Steering Linkage requires standard RC car maintenance tools including hex keys and screwdrivers. We recommend consulting your FTX MK2RS manual or FTX's online documentation for detailed installation instructions, and our team at RC Model Shop are always available to answer technical questions.

It functions as a replacement part if your original steering linkage becomes damaged, but it also represents a performance upgrade if you're replacing a standard plastic linkage with premium aluminium. Many competitive drivers upgrade their complete steering systems using FTX's range of aluminium hop-up components for enhanced precision and consistency.
