Gator-RC M2 Aluminum Clevis Connector, Red – 2mm RC Servo Linkage Rod End, 1pc

In stock
SKU: GRC-CH-223
Regular price $3.25

A CNC-machined, red anodized aluminum M2 clevis connector for RC airplane and boat linkage systems. Designed to fit 1.8–2mm tie rods, this compact rod end delivers a precise, slop-free connection between your pushrod and control horn — a durable upgrade over plastic clevis hardware.


Key features

  • CNC-machined aluminum alloy — strong, lightweight, and resistant to flex under load
  • Red anodized finish — corrosion-resistant coating with a clean, distinctive look
  • Fits 1.8–2mm tie rods — compatible with standard M2 pushrod and linkage wire sizes
  • 2mm hole inner diameter — precise fit to control horn pins and ball links
  • Compact 25mm length — low-profile design for tight linkage installations
  • 3mm middle slot — allows easy adjustment and secure rod retention
  • Versatile application — suitable for RC fixed-wing aircraft and RC boats

What's included

  • 1 × M2 red aluminum clevis connector

Required to complete

  • 1.8mm or 2mm tie rod / pushrod wire
  • Compatible control horn with 2mm pin or hole
  • Locking hardware or thread lock as appropriate for your setup

Best for

  • RC fixed-wing airplanes — elevator, rudder, and aileron linkages
  • RC boats — steering rod and servo connections
  • Small to medium RC models using M2 pushrod wire
  • Builders upgrading from plastic clevis hardware
  • Applications requiring a lightweight, corrosion-resistant rod end

Installation notes

  • Thread the tie rod into the clevis body and tighten securely — use thread lock on permanent installations
  • Confirm the 2mm hole aligns cleanly with your control horn pin before final assembly
  • The 3mm middle slot allows fine adjustment of rod length for neutral trim
  • Verify full linkage travel is free and unrestricted through complete control surface deflection

Why choose an aluminum clevis?

Plastic clevises are prone to cracking under repeated load cycles and can develop slop as the pin hole wears over time. This CNC aluminum clevis maintains its dimensions under stress, resists corrosion, and keeps your linkage geometry consistent across thousands of servo cycles — all at a weight penalty that's negligible in any RC application.


Modeler's tip: When ordering clevises for a full aircraft build, buy a few extras — having spares on hand during final linkage setup saves time when fine-tuning neutral positions. This red anodized version also makes it easy to visually identify your linkage connections during inspection.
Note: This is a connector only. Pushrod, control horn, and servo arm are not included.
