Key Features
- Complete Hardware Set for Two Sway Bars — This set contains all the necessary components to fit sway bars to both sides of your RC truck, allowing you to achieve balanced suspension tuning across the entire vehicle. Having dual sway bar installation capability means you can adjust your truck's anti-roll characteristics front and rear for maximum control.
- Precision-Manufactured Steel Construction — Every component in this set is manufactured from tough, durable steel that is designed to withstand the high stresses and impacts typical of RC truck driving. Steel construction ensures longevity and reliability, meaning your suspension upgrades will last through countless runs without degradation or premature wear.
- Includes Four Sway Bar Balls — The set contains four sway bar ball joints that serve as the connection points between the sway bar and the suspension linkage. These balls are essential for allowing the sway bar to articulate freely whilst maintaining a secure mechanical connection, and quality manufacturing ensures smooth operation without binding or excessive play.
- Four M5 Screw Pins Included — These precision screw pins are the primary fastening elements that secure the sway bar balls in place. The M5 specification ensures compatibility with your ARRMA model whilst providing adequate strength for suspension loads. Quality screw pins prevent loosening during aggressive driving.
- Four Suspension Pivot Balls — These pivot balls facilitate the connection between various suspension arms and the main chassis, distributing loads evenly and allowing for controlled suspension articulation. High-quality pivot balls reduce friction and improve the responsiveness of your suspension geometry.
- Eight M4 x 4mm Set Screws — These set screws provide additional securing points throughout the sway bar assembly, ensuring that all components remain tight and secure even under extreme driving conditions. The M4 x 4mm specification is precisely engineered for ARRMA suspension systems.

- Will this improve my RC truck's handling? — Yes, sway bars are proven suspension components that reduce body roll during cornering, allowing your truck to maintain better traction and more consistent handling through turns. This is particularly noticeable when driving at speed or on uneven terrain where body roll would otherwise compromise grip and stability.
- Is this a beginner-friendly upgrade? — Whilst installation requires some mechanical ability and familiarity with RC suspension work, this is not an overly complex upgrade. If you have experience maintaining your RC truck and understand basic suspension principles, you should be able to fit this hardware set without difficulty. If you're new to suspension work, consider asking experienced RC hobbyists for guidance or visiting an RC shop for professional installation advice.
- Why is steel used for these components? — Steel is chosen for its superior durability, strength-to-weight ratio, and ability to withstand repeated stress cycles without permanent deformation. This ensures your sway bar hardware will remain reliable through countless runs and impacts, making it a sound investment in your truck's long-term performance.
- What is the difference between this and lower-cost sway bar kits? — The ARRMA Sway Bar Hardware Set is manufactured to original equipment standards with precision engineering and quality steel construction.
