The black-and-red painted finish provides striking visual appeal whilst the dual-pin design ensures secure attachment to your bumper recovery points and accessories.

This is an essential accessory for anyone serious about scale authenticity in RC crawling.

This is not merely a cosmetic upgrade—it's a functional piece of hardware that professional-grade RC crawlers require.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD WARN Epic Hyperlink (Black) is precision-engineered from zinc alloy, a material chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability in demanding off-road environments. The dual-pin configuration provides a reliable attachment method that mirrors full-size WARN hyperlink functionality, enabling secure linkage between recovery points on your 1/10 scale crawler. The rubber elements integrated into the design provide realistic flexibility and absorption, preventing unnecessary strain on your vehicle's bumper and recovery accessories during actual recovery operations. At just 3.3 grams, the Hyperlink adds virtually no weight penalty to your brushless RC 4WD vehicle, making it suitable for any 1/10 scale platform from rock crawlers to short-course trucks. The black-and-red painted finish is applied with precision, maintaining its appearance through repeated use and exposure to typical RC off-road conditions. This component is specifically engineered to work with RC4WD's full range of 1/10 WARN winch systems, including the popular 9.5cti variants and the 8274 model, as well as the 1/8 WARN Zeon 10 Winch system. The attachment points are positioned to align perfectly with modern bumper designs, ensuring that rigging remains tidy and organised rather than appearing cluttered or improvised.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the RC4WD WARN Epic Hyperlink used for on my RC crawler? — The Hyperlink is a recovery shackle that connects your winch line or recovery strap to your vehicle's bumper recovery points. It provides authentic scale detail whilst serving as a functional component in your crawler's recovery system, allowing you to perform realistic recovery scenarios during off-road adventures.
• Is this compatible with all 1/10 RC crawlers? — This shackle is designed for direct attachment to bumper recovery points and is officially compatible with RC4WD's range of 1/10 WARN winch systems, including the 9.5cti and Mini 9.5cti models, as well as the 8274 Winch. It will work with any 1/10 crawler equipped with compatible bumper recovery points, though you should verify your specific bumper design before purchase.
• Does the RC4WD WARN Epic Hyperlink come in other colours? — Yes, RC4WD also produces this shackle in Chrome (model Z-S1999), giving you the option to choose between the striking black-and-red finish of the Z-S2000 or the polished chrome alternative depending on your aesthetic preference.
• What makes this better than a basic shackle or homemade recovery link? — This is an officially licensed WARN product engineered with precision-cast zinc alloy and professional finishing. Unlike improvised solutions, it provides reliable dual-pin attachment, authentic scale detail, and the assurance that it's designed by the same company that manufactures recovery equipment for full-size vehicles worldwide.
• Will the paint finish last through regular use? — The black-and-red painted finish is durable and designed to withstand typical RC off-road use. However, like any painted component subjected to repeated attachment, detachment, and abrasion, you may eventually see minor wear. The painted finish is part of the aesthetic appeal, so many users accept natural patina as evidence of genuine use.
• What winch systems does this fit? — The RC4WD WARN Epic Hyperlink is compatible with the RC4WD 1/10 WARN 9.5cti Winch (Z-S1079), RC4WD 1/10 Mini WARN 9.5cti Winch (Z-S1571), RC4WD 1/8 WARN Zeon 10 Winch (Z-E0069), and RC4WD 1/10 WARN 8274 Winch (Z-E0075). Always verify your specific bumper and winch combination before assuming compatibility.
• Is this suitable for beginners or experienced crawlers only? — This is a scale accessory suitable for any RC enthusiast building or upgrading a 1/10 scale crawler. Beginners will appreciate the straightforward dual-pin attachment method, whilst experienced builders will value the authentic WARN licensing and precise engineering. It's equally at home on a beginner's first crawler or a competition-grade rock crawler.
