FAQ

What makes SUJ2 bearing steel different from regular steel?

SUJ2 bearing steel is a high‑carbon alloy that offers excellent hardness, wear resistance, and a low coefficient of friction. These properties allow the hinge pins to operate smoothly under high stress, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of the hinge assembly compared to standard carbon steel.

Can I use this pin set on other RC car models?

While the set is optimized for the 22S Sprint chassis, the dimensions and material are compatible with many other 22S‑based platforms. Always verify the pin size and fit for your specific model before installation to ensure proper performance.

How do I install the new hinge pins?

First, remove the existing pins using a pin removal tool or a small screwdriver. Align the new SUJ2 pins with the hinge housing, ensuring they sit flush. Press the pins in firmly until they are fully seated. No additional tools or modifications are required.
