Swashplate Main Rotor Linkage Rods Set for RC ERA C170 Apache Helicopter

Eliminate Steering Slop, Stop Severe Blade Tracking Splits, and Secure High-Precision Cyclic Pitch Control

The linkage rods are the critical physical lifelines that transmit split-second directional commands from your servos and swashplate directly up to the spinning main rotor blade grips. In 3D stunt mode, executing high-load inverted maneuvers, rapid pitch reversals, and continuous loops puts immense tension and compression stress on these small links. Over time, or after a rough rotor strike, stock control rods can bend, stretch, or crack around the ball joint hoops, introducing mechanical steering slop and loose blade tracking splits. For the 1:48 scale RC ERA C170 Longbow Apache, this steering lag disrupts the automated electronic stability and dampens your aerobatic precision. Replacing your loose or fatigued parts with this factory-original mixed material linkage rod set restores instantaneous cyclic tracking response and ensures zero-flex stability during extreme 3D flight paths.  Ships worldwide.

Product Highlights

• High-Strength Metallic Silver Main Rod: Features one ultra-rigid polished metal control link designed to handle the core high-tension mechanical stress axis without expanding or bending under maximum load.

• Impact-Absorbing Matte Deep Grey Links: Includes two high-density composite polymer linkage rods engineered to dampen high-frequency rotor head vibrations while maintaining structural elasticity.

• Precision-Molded Zero-Slop Eyelets: Both ends of the three rods feature clean, perfectly round circular eyelet rings optimized for a tight, wobble-free snap connection over your ball linkages.

• Factory-Tuned Fixed Length Profile: Every link in this pack is molded to exact technical millimeter tolerances to preserve out-of-the-box swashplate leveling without tedious manual trim setup adjustments.

Compatibility

For the RC ERA C170 1:48 Scale Longbow Apache RC Helicopter only.

What’s in the Box

• 1 x RC ERA C170 Linkage Rod

Install Tips

• Removing Damaged Control Linkages: Use a micro ball-link plier tool to gently pop the worn or elongated composite linkages off from the metal swashplate balls and the upper rotor head blade grip pins.

• Installing the Metallic Silver Control Link: Snap the premium silver polished metal rod onto its designated master driving ball link track, ensuring the circular eyelet hoop seats fully home with a tactile click over the retaining post.

• Seating the Dark Grey Composite Pushrods: Take the two matte deep grey composite links and snap their dual eyelet loops onto the remaining blade grip positions, making sure they run completely straight and vertical without any twisting binding forces.

• Pre-Flight Swashplate Leveling Verification: Power on your radio transmitter first, connect the flight battery to let all cyclic steering mechanics center automatically to neutral, and check that the swashplate ring stays level. Spin the 4-blade rotor system by hand to verify friction-free tracking before blasting off into high-G 3D stunt maneuvers.
