Overview
The ROC HOBBY MXS V2 Linkage Rod ROCKL109 is an essential replacement part for RC plane enthusiasts looking to maintain and upgrade their aircraft's performance. Measuring 1100mm in length, these precision-engineered linkage rods are specifically designed for the MXS V2 aerobatic RC plane, making them an indispensable component for anyone serious about RC flying. Whether you're a seasoned RC plane pilot in the UK or someone discovering the world of radio-controlled aircraft for the first time, having quality replacement linkage rods on hand ensures your aircraft remains in peak flying condition.
Linkage rods are critical components in any RC aircraft's control system, transferring movement from your servos to the flight control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders. When these rods become worn, bent, or damaged, they can compromise your aircraft's handling characteristics and responsiveness. The MXS V2 Linkage Rod is engineered to exacting standards to ensure precise, reliable control input transmission, helping you maintain the excellent aerobatic capabilities that the MXS V2 is renowned for. At just £6.99, this is an affordable way to keep your RC plane performing at its best.
For RC plane enthusiasts across the UK, whether you fly scale aerobatic models, competition aircraft, or recreational stunters, having spare linkage rods available is essential maintenance practice. Unlike complex ready-to-run RC sets or brushless motor systems, linkage rods are straightforward replacement parts that don't require special knowledge to install, making them perfect for both experienced pilots and newcomers to the hobby.
Key Features
- 1100mm Length — This specific length is engineered to match the control geometry of the MXS V2 aircraft, ensuring proper servo travel and control surface deflection for optimal handling and aerobatic performance.
- Purpose-Built for MXS V2 — These linkage rods are specifically designed for the MXS V2 model, guaranteeing compatibility and precise fit without modification or adaptation.
- Replacement Part — As a genuine OEM replacement component, these rods restore your aircraft to factory specifications when original parts become damaged, bent, or worn through regular flying.
- Precision Engineering — Manufactured to exact tolerances to ensure consistent control response and eliminate any play or slop in your aircraft's control linkages.
- Affordable Spares — At an economical price point, these linkage rods represent excellent value for RC plane maintenance, allowing you to keep spare parts on hand without significant expense.
Technical Performance
The MXS V2 Linkage Rod represents precision engineering at its finest in RC aircraft component design. As a critical element of the control system, linkage rods must transmit servo inputs to flight control surfaces with absolute accuracy and minimal deflection. The 1100mm length of this component is precisely calculated to match the MXS V2's control geometry, ensuring that servo movements translate directly to the correct control surface deflections. The engineering philosophy behind this component prioritises reliability and consistency, as any play or wear in linkage rods can introduce unwanted control lag, reduce responsiveness, and compromise the aircraft's aerobatic capabilities. These rods are manufactured to maintain dimensional accuracy across production batches, ensuring that replacement rods will perform identically to original equipment, allowing you to maintain your aircraft's handling characteristics through multiple seasons of RC plane flying. Whether you're conducting basic maintenance after regular flights or replacing damaged parts following a hard landing, this linkage rod is engineered to restore your aircraft to factory performance levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a linkage rod and why do I need it for my RC plane? — A linkage rod is a mechanical component that connects your RC aircraft's servos to the control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders. These rods transfer the rotational movement of the servo motor into linear motion that deflects the flight control surfaces. Over time, linkage rods can become bent, cracked, or worn through normal flight operations, impact damage, or hard landings. When this happens, your aircraft's control response becomes imprecise, sluggish, or uneven, making it difficult to fly predictably. Keeping spare linkage rods on hand is essential maintenance practice for any RC plane pilot.
- How do I know if my linkage rod needs replacing? — Signs that your linkage rod needs replacement include visible bending or cracking, excessive play or movement in the control linkage when moved by hand, noticeably sluggish or unresponsive control inputs during flight, or asymmetrical control surface deflection. If your aircraft suddenly handles differently than usual, worn or damaged linkage rods are often the culprit.
- Is this compatible with my MXS V2 aircraft? — Yes, this linkage rod is specifically engineered for the MXS V2 model and is the correct OEM replacement component. The 1100mm length matches the factory specifications precisely.
- What tools do I need to install this linkage rod? — Installation typically requires basic hand tools such as screwdrivers and pliers to disconnect the old rod and attach the new one. Detailed instructions can be found in your MXS V2 manual, or FMS Hobby provides technical support if you need guidance.
- Can I use this with other aircraft models? — This linkage rod is specifically designed for the MXS V2. While the general principle of linkage rods applies to many aircraft, using parts from different models can result in incorrect control geometry, improper servo travel, and compromised handling. Always use components specified for your particular aircraft model.
- How long does a linkage rod typically last? — With proper care and regular flying, a linkage rod should last through multiple seasons. However, hard landings, crashes, or impacts can damage them prematurely. Having spare rods on hand ensures you can get back in the air quickly if damage occurs.
