Overview
The AXIAL Stainless Steel Link M6 x 89mm replacement parts set is an essential upgrade for owners of the Axial Capra 1.9 UTB series RC crawlers. This precision-engineered component is designed specifically for the 1/10 scale Capra 1.9 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy, offering superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to standard steel alternatives. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running a trail buggy through challenging UK terrain or a weekend basher putting your crawler through its paces, having quality replacement links on hand is crucial for maintaining peak performance and reliability. Stainless steel construction ensures these links withstand the demands of serious off-road RC driving whilst resisting rust and degradation from moisture exposure.
This two-piece set provides you with essential suspension geometry components that directly impact your Capra 1.9's handling characteristics and ride quality. The links work as part of the suspension system to control wheel movement, maintain proper articulation angles and ensure consistent ground contact across uneven terrain. For anyone serious about their RC car UK hobby, investing in OEM Axial replacement parts like these stainless steel links ensures your crawler maintains factory specifications and optimal performance throughout its lifespan.
Compatible across multiple Capra 1.9 variants including the 4WS 4X4 Unlimited Trail Buggy RTR and the standard 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy Kit, these links represent genuine Axial parts that meet the exacting standards expected by the RC community. The thoughtful engineering behind every component in the Capra 1.9 range means that using authentic Axial replacement parts preserves the vehicle's intended geometry and dynamics.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — The use of stainless steel rather than standard mild steel provides exceptional corrosion resistance, meaning these links will resist rust and degradation even when exposed to damp conditions during UK winters or after muddy trail runs. This material choice extends the lifespan of the components and maintains their structural integrity over extended periods of use.
- M6 x 89mm Specifications — The precise M6 metric threading and 89mm length are engineered to match the original Capra 1.9 suspension geometry exactly, ensuring that when you install these replacement links, your crawler maintains the factory-intended wheel travel, articulation angles and suspension response that makes the Capra such a capable platform.
- Opposing Threads with Indicator Line — The opposing threads design allows for fine-tuned length adjustment to dial in your suspension geometry precisely, whilst the indicator line helps you orient the links correctly during installation and ensures repeatability if you need to remove and reinstall them later. This thoughtful design detail makes maintenance and setup adjustments significantly easier.
- Centred Hole for Easy Adjustment — The centred hole design enables length adjustment even when the links are installed on your crawler, meaning you don't necessarily need to remove the entire assembly to make suspension tweaks. This feature is invaluable when fine-tuning your setup at the track or trail without needing to completely disassemble your vehicle.
- Two-Piece Set — You receive two links in this package, which is the correct replacement quantity for your Capra 1.9, allowing you to upgrade both sides of the suspension geometry simultaneously and maintain perfect symmetry across your crawler's chassis.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Stainless Steel Links are precision-engineered suspension components manufactured to exact specifications that match the original Capra 1.9 components. The M6 threading and 89mm length have been carefully calculated to maintain the suspension geometry that Axial's engineers designed into the Capra 1.9 platform. Stainless steel was chosen as the material for these links because it offers superior performance characteristics compared to standard steel—it resists corrosion from moisture, salt spray and general weathering whilst maintaining the structural rigidity required for proper suspension function. The opposing threads design is particularly clever, as it allows you to adjust link length without requiring specialised tools, making setup adjustments accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. The centred hole design further enhances this functionality, permitting length adjustment whilst the links remain installed on your vehicle. This engineering approach demonstrates Axial's commitment to creating crawler platforms that are user-friendly yet technically sophisticated. The links work as critical components in your Capra 1.9's suspension system, controlling the vertical movement of the wheels whilst maintaining proper geometry throughout the suspension's travel range, which is essential for delivering the articulation and ground-holding capabilities that make the Capra 1.9 such a capable trail buggy whether you're navigating UK woodland trails, rocky crawling terrain or technical obstacle courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the AXIAL Stainless Steel Link used for on my Capra 1.9? — These stainless steel links are suspension components that control the movement and geometry of your Capra 1.9's wheels. They maintain proper articulation angles and ensure that your crawler's suspension maintains the intended geometry as you travel over rocks, roots and uneven terrain. When these links wear out or become damaged, replacing them restores your suspension to factory specifications.
- Will these links fit other Axial models or just the Capra 1.9? — These links are specifically engineered for the Capra 1.9 UTB series. The manufacturer lists compatibility with the AXI03004B 1/10 Capra 1.9 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy Kit, the AXI03022B 1/10 Capra 1.9 4WS 4X4 Unlimited Trail Buggy RTR, the AXI03000 1/10 Capra Unlimited 1.9 4X4 Trail Buggy Brushed RTR, the AXI03000B variant, and the AXI-1543 1/10 UTB10 Capra 1.9 4WS 4X4 Unlimited Trail Buggy Brushed RTR. Always check compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- Why should I choose stainless steel links instead of standard steel? — Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, meaning your links will resist rust and degradation even when exposed to wet conditions, salt spray or damp UK winters. Standard steel links can rust and weaken over time, compromising their structural integrity and suspension performance. Stainless steel maintains its strength and appearance throughout extended use, making it a worthwhile investment for serious RC enthusiasts.
- How do I adjust the length of these links? — The opposing threads design allows you to adjust link length by rotating the link body to extend or shorten it as needed. The centred hole enables adjustment even whilst the links remain installed on your vehicle, eliminating the need for complete disassembly during suspension setup tweaks. The indicator line helps you orient the links correctly and ensures consistent adjustment across both sides.
- Are these links easy to install? — These are replacement suspension components that fit into your Capra 1.9's existing suspension mounting points. Installation difficulty depends on your mechanical experience, but the straightforward design makes them accessible even for enthusiasts without extensive technical background. Replacement is typically a matter of unbolting the old links and bolting the new ones in place whilst maintaining proper orientation using the indicator line.
