Maintain the precise axle geometry of your 1/18 scale dirt oval racer with this Replacement Radius Rod Set. Designed specifically for the 1RC Racing Late Model, these rods are the critical links that connect the rear solid axle to the chassis.
In oval racing, "Radius Rods" (or 4-link bars) control the movement of the rear end. They determine how the car accelerates, how much "steer" the rear axle has when the chassis rolls (rear steer), and keep the axle centered. This set provides the factory-spec links to replace bent or sloppy parts after hard contact with the wall or other cars.
Key Features
-
Complete Set: Includes all the necessary links to rebuild the rear suspension geometry.
-
2x Lower Radius Rods: The longer bars that control the main wheelbase and forward bite.
-
1x Upper Left Radius Rod: Controls axle wrap/torque.
-
1x Upper Right Radius Rod: Often adjustable or specific length to set pinion angle and lift bar action.
-
-
Factory Spec Molded Plastic: Made from a durable, slightly flexible composite. This flexibility is intentional—it allows the suspension to absorb minor impacts without snapping, unlike rigid aluminum links which might bend the chassis or axle mounts.
-
Pre-Installed Ball Ends: The rod ends are molded directly onto the links for a precise fit with the chassis pivot balls (pivot balls sold separately or reused).
Compatibility
-
Vehicle: 1RC Racing 1/18 Late Model.
-
Axle Type: Solid Axle (Live Axle) Setup.
-
Note: While primarily for the Late Model, these may fit the 1RC Eastern Dirt Modified (EDM) or Sprint Car if the wheelbase lengths are identical, but they are specifically cataloged for the Late Model's 4-link rear end.
