FTX Aluminium Knuckle Arms for Vantage Carnage Outlaw Zorro FTX6368

Overview

The FTX Aluminium Knuckle Arms are premium suspension upgrade components designed specifically for FTX RC models including the Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw and Zorro ranges. These high-quality aluminium knuckle arms deliver a significant performance boost over standard plastic components, offering enhanced durability and improved handling characteristics for serious RC enthusiasts. Whether you're running a brushless or brushed RC buggy, truck or trophy truck, upgrading to aluminium knuckle arms is one of the most effective tune-up modifications you can make to improve your vehicle's cornering response, stability and overall driving experience.

If you're looking to enhance your FTX ready to run RC car, these suspension components represent excellent value and are easy to install by anyone with basic RC maintenance skills. The upgrade path is straightforward and non-destructive, allowing you to progressively improve your vehicle's performance without major modifications. RC hobbyists across the UK who want to get more from their FTX models frequently choose these knuckle arms as their first upgrade, and customer feedback consistently highlights their quality and fitment.

Designed and manufactured by FTX, these components are genuine factory parts that guarantee perfect compatibility with your existing drivetrain and suspension geometry. By replacing the standard knuckle arms with these aluminium versions, you'll notice immediate improvements in steering response, cornering grip and overall chassis control when driving your RC buggy, truck or 4WD off-road vehicle.

Key Features

• Aluminium construction — These knuckle arms are manufactured from lightweight yet rigid aluminium, which is significantly stronger and more durable than the plastic components found on standard RTR models, ensuring they can withstand the demands of regular bashing and competitive driving.
• Precision engineered — Each knuckle arm is manufactured to exact specifications by FTX to ensure perfect fitment and alignment with your vehicle's existing suspension geometry, meaning zero modification is required during installation.
• Pack of two pieces — You receive a pair of knuckle arms in this pack, allowing you to upgrade both front or rear positions depending on your suspension setup and preferences.
• Compatible with multiple FTX models — These universal knuckle arms work with the FTX Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw and Zorro platforms, giving you flexibility if you own multiple FTX vehicles or plan to upgrade your fleet.
• Improved steering response — The increased rigidity of aluminium compared to plastic reduces flex in the suspension geometry, resulting in sharper, more responsive steering inputs and better cornering performance from your RC car.
• Enhanced durability — The robust construction means these components will last significantly longer than plastic alternatives, especially when driving in demanding conditions or pushing your vehicle to the limit.
• Easy installation — Being direct replacements for the standard knuckle arms, these parts install simply by unbolting the old components and bolting on the new ones, requiring only basic tools and no special knowledge.

Technical Performance

The FTX Aluminium Knuckle Arms represent a significant materials upgrade from the plastic suspension components supplied as standard on FTX ready to run vehicles. Aluminium's superior rigidity and strength-to-weight ratio make it the ideal choice for suspension geometry components that must maintain precise alignment while withstanding the forces generated during cornering, acceleration and braking. When you're driving your RC buggy, monster truck or trophy truck at speed, suspension flex directly translates to handling inconsistency and unpredictable steering behaviour. By switching to aluminium knuckle arms, you create a more solid foundation for your suspension geometry, which means the steering angles and suspension travel you've dialled in will remain consistent lap after lap, drive after drive. The engineering and manufacturing processes employed by FTX ensure that these components match the original specifications precisely, so there is zero wheel alignment drift or compatibility issues when you install them. Whether you're running a brushless or brushed motor, 3S or 4S LiPo battery, or any battery configuration, these knuckle arms will work identically on your vehicle. They're equally at home on a Vantage 2.0 brushed buggy, a Carnage 2.0 brushless monster truck, an Outlaw ultra-4 buggy or a Zorro trophy truck, with multiple customers reporting noticeable improvements in handling feel and consistency immediately upon installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX models do these aluminium knuckle arms fit? — These knuckle arms are designed to fit the FTX Bugsta, Carnage 2.0 (brushed and brushless variants), Carnage NT nitro truck, Outlaw (both brushed and brushless ultra-4 buggies), Vantage 2.0 (brushed and brushless buggies), and Zorro (brushed, brushless and nitro trophy trucks). Simply verify your specific model number matches one of the compatible models listed in the compatibility section.
• Are these knuckle arms suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. While these are technically an upgrade component, installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools like spanners and hex keys. If you've ever maintained your RC car, you'll find changing knuckle arms very simple. Even if you're new to RC maintenance, the job is straightforward enough that you'll build confidence in working on your vehicle. The improvement in handling feel is noticeable enough that even beginner drivers will benefit from the increased consistency and reduced steering inconsistency.
• What's the difference between plastic and aluminium knuckle arms? — Plastic knuckle arms, fitted as standard on FTX RTR models, flex slightly under load, which causes your steering geometry to change as you drive, resulting in unpredictable handling behaviour. Aluminium is vastly more rigid, so it maintains your suspension geometry exactly as set up, giving you more consistent and responsive steering. Aluminium also lasts longer before showing signs of wear or damage. The trade-off is that aluminium costs more, but the performance and durability benefits make it worthwhile for anyone driving regularly.
• Do I need special tools to install these? — No, you only need the spanners or hex keys that came with your original RC car, plus potentially a small screwdriver if you need to access any suspension linkages. The installation is a straightforward component swap that takes 10-15 minutes for someone with moderate RC maintenance experience.
• Will these knuckle arms work on both brushed and brushless versions of my FTX model? — Yes, these knuckle arms are suspension components that work identically on brushed and brushless vehicles. The motor type doesn't affect suspension component compatibility at all, so whether your Vantage, Carnage or Outlaw is brushed or brushless, these will fit perfectly.
• Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are genuine factory FTX components, not aftermarket copies or imitations. They're manufactured to the same tolerances as the knuckle arms used in FTX models and carry the FTX part number FTX6368 for identification purposes.
