Midget 30-1/2in Rear Radius Rod

The Midget 30-1/2in Rear Radius Rod from Triple X Race Components is a precision-engineered suspension component built for vintage and modern Midget racers who demand reliability under extreme lateral and vertical loads. Radius rods are critical control arms that locate the rear axle laterally while allowing vertical suspension travel, and this polished aluminum tube delivers the geometry control necessary for consistent handling on both asphalt and dirt tracks. Whether you're rebuilding a classic open-wheel platform or upgrading an existing suspension setup, this rear radius rod is engineered to eliminate axle walk and maintain predictable cornering dynamics lap after lap.

Manufactured from high-strength aluminum and polished to a professional finish, the Midget 30-1/2in rear radius rod features a 1.125-inch outer diameter tube that balances strength-to-weight ratio—critical for minimizing unsprung mass on lightweight race machines. The 5/8-18 female threads on both ends accept standard rod ends, allowing fine-tuning of rear axle location and anti-squat geometry without fabrication. At 1.36 pounds and 30.5 inches in effective length, this component integrates seamlessly into Midget chassis where every fraction of an inch and ounce affects performance and handling characteristics. The polished aluminum construction resists corrosion while maintaining the professional appearance expected in competition paddocks.

Midget racers, vintage race enthusiasts, and chassis builders will find this rear radius rod essential for establishing proper rear-end geometry and eliminating lateral movement during acceleration and braking. Installation requires standard 5/8-18 rod ends (sold separately) and careful measurement to ensure axle centerline alignment. Triple X Race Components' engineering focus on open-wheel suspension makes this component ideal for builders seeking OEM-quality construction backed by proven performance at the track. Direct fit applications include classic and modern Midget platforms; verify rod-end compatibility and chassis-specific geometry specifications before ordering.
