RT3 central suspension bridge

Precision Replacement for Scaleauto RT3 Suspension

The RT3 Central Suspension Bridge (ref. MH00620) is the component that acts as the structural link in the RT3 cradle-type suspension systems from Scaleauto. A small but crucial element: without it, the suspension geometry cannot be maintained or adjusted correctly.

Function and Performance

This bridge occupies the central position of the suspension assembly, transferring loads between the cradle and the chassis and allowing the suspension movement to be smooth and controlled. Its proper installation directly influences the consistency of the car's contact with the track, which is especially relevant on circuits with elevation changes or small irregularities in the lane.

Compatibility

Specifically designed for the RT3 cradle-type suspension systems from Scaleauto. If you are working with other types of cradles or suspension versions from the brand, ensure that the reference is correct before assembly.

Assembly and Preparation

Scaleauto recommends using a 1.8–1.9 mm tap before installing the bridge. This preliminary step ensures that the suspension screws fit without forcing, avoiding deformation of the part and ensuring that the tightening is uniform. Not skipping this step is key to prolonging the component's lifespan and avoiding unwanted play.
