Kyosho EZ016 Suspension Shaft Set

The Kyosho EZ016 Suspension Shaft Set is the genuine set of hinge pins for the Sand Master, Kyosho's 1/10 scale 2WD off-road buggy in the EZ series. These steel shafts are the pivot points the suspension arms swing on, running through the arms and into the bulkheads and suspension mounts. Every bump, jump, and landing loads them in bending, so a hard impact can leave a pin bent even when nothing visibly breaks.

A bent hinge pin is worth catching early because it binds the arm, making the suspension sticky on one corner and leaving the buggy handling unevenly side to side, a fault that is easy to blame on shocks or springs instead. This set installs as a direct replacement for the kit shafts with no modification. Package includes the shaft set for the chassis. When fitting new pins, check the arms and mounts for elongated holes, since a bent pin often wallows out the plastic it runs through.
