Overview
The FTX Aluminium Steering Arms (FTX6367) represent a premium upgrade for owners of FTX RC vehicles seeking enhanced durability and precision steering control. This two-piece set is specifically engineered as a direct replacement for the stock plastic steering arms found on popular FTX models including the Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw, Kanyon and Zorro. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running a ready-to-run RC car UK or looking to fine-tune your existing setup, these CNC-machined aluminium components deliver measurable improvements in steering response and long-term reliability.
Steering performance is critical to RC vehicle handling, and the standard plastic steering arms on many ready-to-run RC vehicles can flex under load, compromising accuracy and responsiveness. The FTX Aluminium Steering Arms eliminate this problem by replacing the vulnerable plastic components with precision-engineered aluminium that maintains its shape under the demands of high-impact driving, whether on track or off-road. These steering arms are engineered to improve steering accuracy and consistency, making them an ideal investment for anyone serious about maximising their RC buggy or truck's performance potential.
RC enthusiasts across the UK who have upgraded to these aluminium steering arms report enhanced steering precision and improved handling characteristics. For those pushing their brushless RC buggies or trucks hard, or engaging in competitive driving where every millisecond matters, this upgrade transforms the steering feel and reliability. The aluminium construction also provides long-lasting durability for demanding conditions, resisting the wear and stress that gradually degrades plastic alternatives over countless hours of use.
Key Features
- CNC-Machined Aluminium Construction — These steering arms are precision-manufactured using CNC machining technology, which ensures exact tolerances and consistent quality from piece to piece. The aluminium material is significantly stronger and more rigid than plastic, providing superior strength and reduced flex that directly translates to more responsive steering input and improved handling consistency during aggressive driving.
- Direct Fit Compatibility — Designed as a bolt-on replacement for FTX Vantage and Carnage models, with compatibility also extending to the Outlaw, Kanyon and Zorro variants, these steering arms integrate seamlessly into your existing RC setup without requiring modification or adaptation. This direct-fit design means installation is straightforward, and you can enjoy the performance benefits immediately without complex fitting procedures.
- Improved Steering Accuracy — By eliminating the flex inherent in plastic steering arms, these aluminium components deliver more accurate and responsive steering feel. When you turn the steering wheel on your RC transmitter, your commands are translated directly to the wheels with minimal delay or distortion, resulting in tighter cornering and more predictable vehicle behaviour in competitive and recreational driving situations.
- Enhanced Durability and Reduced Wear — Aluminium is inherently more durable than plastic and resists the cumulative stress damage that causes plastic components to become increasingly flexible or eventually crack under intense use. These steering arms maintain their original stiffness and performance characteristics over extended periods, providing reliability for high-impact driving and performance upgrades without degradation.
- Ideal for Demanding Driving Conditions — Whether you're bashing your ready-to-run RC car on rough terrain, pushing your brushless RC buggy to its limits on track, or engaging in competitive driving where precision matters, these aluminium steering arms provide the durability and performance stability needed for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Two-Piece Set for Complete Front Steering — This package includes both left and right steering arms, providing a complete steering system upgrade that ensures balanced and symmetrical steering response across the front axle of your RC vehicle.
Technical Performance
The FTX Aluminium Steering Arms represent a significant engineering upgrade over stock plastic components. Manufactured through precision CNC machining processes, these aluminium arms are engineered to exacting tolerances that ensure consistent fit and performance across every unit produced. The material choice of aluminium provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, delivering rigidity without adding unnecessary mass to your RC vehicle's front end. This is crucial because unnecessary weight can affect acceleration and handling characteristics. The aluminium construction eliminates the flex that accumulates in plastic steering arms over time, particularly when driving at speed or during hard cornering when lateral loads on the steering system are greatest. For users of brushless RC buggies and trucks, where power delivery is instantaneous and forces on the steering system are correspondingly higher than with brushed motors, the rigid response of these aluminium arms makes a tangible difference in steering feel and vehicle control. The precision-machined design ensures that steering geometry remains consistent, maintaining proper alignment angles and preventing the steering drift or inconsistency that can develop as plastic components gradually flex and wear. These arms are compatible with a wide range of FTX models, making them a versatile upgrade option for multiple vehicles in your RC collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models are compatible with these aluminium steering arms? — These steering arms are directly compatible with the FTX Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw, Kanyon and Zorro models. This includes variants such as the FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushed Buggy, FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushless Buggy, FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushed Truck, FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushless Monster Truck, FTX Carnage NT Nitro Truck, FTX Outlaw Brushed and Brushless models, FTX Kanyon trail crawlers, and FTX Zorro Trophy Truck variants in both brushed and brushless configurations.
- Will these aluminium steering arms fit my ready-to-run FTX RC car immediately? — Yes, these steering arms are designed as direct replacements for the stock plastic components on compatible FTX models. They are a bolt-on upgrade requiring no modifications to your RC vehicle, allowing you to complete the installation and begin enjoying improved steering performance straight away.
- Why would I upgrade from plastic to aluminium steering arms? — Plastic steering arms flex under load, particularly during aggressive driving or when using brushless motors with high power output. This flex compromises steering accuracy and creates a vague, imprecise steering feel. Aluminium steering arms eliminate this flex, delivering responsive, accurate steering that improves vehicle control and handling consistency. The aluminium material also resists wear and stress damage far better than plastic, providing long-term durability for demanding driving conditions without degradation.
- Are these steering arms suitable for beginners, or only for experienced RC drivers? — These steering arms benefit RC drivers of all skill levels. Beginners will appreciate the improved steering accuracy and responsiveness, which makes the vehicle easier to control. Experienced and competitive drivers benefit from the precision and durability when pushing their FTX RC vehicles to the limits. Anyone seeking to fine-tune their steering setup and improve reliability will find value in this upgrade.
- How do these compare to the standard plastic steering arms? — The key differences are material rigidity, durability and precision. CNC-machined aluminium is significantly stronger and stiffer than plastic, eliminating flex that accumulates over time with plastic components. Aluminium maintains consistent steering geometry throughout extended use, whereas plastic gradually becomes more flexible and imprecise. For demanding driving conditions and long-term reliability, aluminium steering arms are a substantial upgrade.
- Will this upgrade work with my brushless RC buggy or truck? — Yes, these steering arms are fully compatible with brushless FTX models. Brushless motors deliver more power and faster acceleration than brushed alternatives, which places greater stress on steering components. The rigid aluminium construction of these steering arms handles this increased stress better than plastic alternatives, making them an especially valuable upgrade for brushless RC vehicles.
