Overview
These Tekno RC hinge pin inserts let you run the brand's 5mm hinge pins (TKR9620) in your adjustable suspension blocks without adding sleeves. Instead of stacking extra parts into the pivot, the insert itself carries the larger pin diameter, which means fewer pieces to lose and one less thing to shift under load.
They work as a straight replacement for the stock inserts on Tekno's 2.0 and later platforms, or as an upgrade path if you are moving an older car over to the 5mm pins. Pivot inserts are a wear item on a 1/8 off-road car, so a fresh set is a cheap way to pull slop out of the suspension.
Key Features

- Compatible with suspension arms that use the 9055C insert system

Performance Benefits
- Larger 5mm pin diameter adds strength in high-load applications

Usage Notes
- 5mm hinge pins (TKR9620) are sold separately and are required
- Confirm your car uses Tekno's 2.0+ adjustable suspension blocks
- Replace inserts once the pivots start to show play
- Seat the inserts fully in the block before fitting the pin
- Do not over-tighten the block screws — a bound pivot will bind the arm
