Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw Aluminium Sway Bar Upper Pull Rod represents a significant upgrade opportunity for owners of 1/10 scale FTX RC buggies and trophy trucks. Sway bars (also called anti-roll bars) are critical suspension components that control the amount of body roll during cornering by connecting the left and right sides of the suspension. The upper pull rod is the connecting linkage that transfers suspension movement through the sway bar system. By upgrading to this aluminium component, you benefit from improved suspension geometry and enhanced handling precision compared to standard plastic components. Aluminium offers superior rigidity and durability whilst maintaining a lightweight profile, which is essential for RC car performance. The two-piece design means both sides of your suspension system can be upgraded simultaneously, ensuring balanced handling characteristics across both left and right sides of your FTX Outlaw or Zorro. This component is engineered to strict FTX specifications, guaranteeing compatibility with the suspension mounting points on your RC vehicle. Whether you're running your RC buggy on rough terrain, racing at high speeds, or enjoying casual backyard bashing, upgrading your sway bar upper pull rod contributes to more predictable vehicle behaviour, reduced chassis roll, and improved cornering performance. The aluminium material chosen by FTX engineers provides the perfect combination of strength and weight savings that experienced RC drivers and competitive racers demand from their equipment.
