5. Setup and Installation
The INJORA 46g Black Coating Brass High Clearance Links are designed as a direct replacement for the stock plastic links on compatible TRX4M models. Follow these steps for installation:
- Prepare Your Vehicle: Carefully remove the body of your TRX4M High Trail K10 or F150 to access the chassis and suspension links.
- Remove Stock Links: Systematically remove the existing plastic suspension links. It is recommended to replace one link at a time or work on one axle completely before moving to the next to maintain orientation.
- Install Brass Links: Attach the new INJORA brass links using the provided hardware. Ensure the bent sections of the links are oriented correctly to maximize clearance. The links are etched with the INJORA logo for easy identification.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all screws are tightened securely, but do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads. Verify that the brass link balls are properly seated.
- Check Clearance: After installation, articulate the suspension to ensure there is no binding or interference with other components, especially the driveshaft. The bent design is intended to provide increased clearance.

6. Operating Benefits
Once installed, the INJORA High Clearance Links provide several operational advantages for your RC crawler:
- Improved Ground Clearance: The bent design of these links significantly increases the ground clearance, allowing your crawler to navigate over larger obstacles without getting hung up.
- Enhanced Approach Angles: Better clearance contributes to improved approach and departure angles, making it easier to climb steep inclines and descend challenging terrains.
- Increased Stability: The added weight of the brass links, particularly in the lower chassis, helps to lower the vehicle's center of gravity. This results in improved crawling stability and reduced chances of rollovers on uneven surfaces.
- Durability: Crafted from durable brass, these links offer superior strength and longevity compared to stock plastic components, withstanding the rigors of aggressive crawling.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your INJORA brass links:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the links and surrounding areas to remove dirt, mud, and debris. A soft brush and mild soap with water can be used. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the links for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. Check the brass link balls and mounting points for looseness or excessive play.
- Fastener Check: Ensure all screws and fasteners remain tight. Vibrations from operation can sometimes cause fasteners to loosen over time.
- Lubrication: While brass links generally do not require lubrication, ensure that any moving parts they connect to (e.g., shock mounts, axle housings) are properly maintained according to your RC vehicle's manual.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Links rubbing on driveshaft | Incorrect orientation during installation or extreme articulation. | Verify the links are installed with the bent sections providing maximum clearance. Ensure the driveshaft is properly aligned. In some extreme articulation scenarios, minor rubbing may occur, but should not impede function significantly. |
| Loose links or excessive play | Fasteners are not tight enough or worn link balls. | Tighten all mounting screws. Inspect brass link balls for wear and replace if necessary. |
| Reduced suspension travel | Interference with other chassis components or incorrect link length. | Ensure no other components are obstructing link movement. Double-check that the correct length links are installed in their designated positions (e.g., front vs. rear, upper vs. lower). |
