Key Features
- Durable Steel Construction — These hinge pins are manufactured from high-quality steel that resists wear and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even under demanding use and repeated suspension movement. Steel provides superior strength and reliability compared to lower-grade materials, which is essential when your RC car is constantly being bashed or raced.
- Precision Manufactured — Each hinge pin is manufactured to exact tolerances, which means smooth operation without binding or excessive play in your suspension arms. Precision manufacturing is critical for maintaining consistent handling characteristics and fast servicing when you need to swap components between races or sessions.
- Multiple Pin Sizes Included — The set includes 3 different lengths (30mm, 38mm, and 48mm) with 2 pins of each size, allowing you to configure your suspension exactly as needed for your specific ARRMA model or setup preferences. This versatility means a single purchase covers multiple suspension configurations and applications.
- Direct OEM Replacement — These are genuine ARRMA parts that directly replace the hinge pins supplied with your kit, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility. Using original manufacturer parts eliminates the guesswork and compatibility concerns that can arise with aftermarket alternatives.
- Fast Servicing — The included variety of sizes means you can quickly service your entire suspension without needing to source individual pins from multiple vendors, saving time and getting you back to driving faster.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Hinge Pin Set represents the gold standard in suspension maintenance for RC cars in the UK market. The use of durable steel throughout the pin construction provides excellent fatigue resistance, allowing these components to withstand thousands of suspension cycles without failure or degradation. The precision manufacturing process ensures that each pin maintains tight tolerances, preventing the play and binding issues that can develop in suspension systems over time. When suspension arm hinge pins wear or become damaged, they create loose joints that result in unpredictable handling, increased wear on other suspension components, and ultimately reduced performance. By replacing worn hinge pins with these quality OEM components, you restore your RC car's suspension geometry and handling characteristics to factory specifications. The inclusion of three different lengths (30mm, 38mm, and 48mm) means this single set covers a wide range of ARRMA models and suspension configurations, making it invaluable for anyone with multiple vehicles or who frequently adjusts their setup. Steel is specifically chosen for hinge pin applications because it offers the perfect balance of strength, machinability, and durability compared to alternative materials like aluminium or plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC cars are compatible with the ARRMA Hinge Pin Set AR330437? — The ARRMA Hinge Pin Set is designed as a direct replacement for kit-supplied hinge pins on ARRMA vehicles. The set is confirmed compatible with the ARRMA 1/10 Granite Voltage 2WD RTR brushed monster truck, though it will also fit other ARRMA models with compatible suspension systems. Always check your vehicle's manual or contact our team to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
- Why do I need replacement hinge pins? — Hinge pins wear over time through normal use as your suspension arms pivot repeatedly during driving. Worn or damaged hinge pins create loose joints that result in poor handling, unpredictable suspension response, and increased wear on other components. Replacing them keeps your suspension performing optimally and extends the life of related parts.
- What sizes are included and how do I know which ones I need? — The set includes 2 pins each of 30mm, 38mm, and 48mm lengths. The length you need depends on your specific ARRMA model and suspension configuration. Check your vehicle's manual or suspension assembly diagram to identify which sizes your setup requires. Having all three sizes means you can experiment with different configurations or maintain multiple vehicles.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are official ARRMA replacement parts manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as the hinge pins included with ARRMA kits. Using genuine OEM parts ensures perfect fitment and compatibility, unlike aftermarket alternatives that may have tolerance issues.
- How often should I replace my hinge pins? — Replacement frequency depends on your driving style and conditions. Aggressive bashing will wear hinge pins faster than gentle casual driving. Inspect them regularly during maintenance and replace them if you notice any bending, rust, or damage. Many RC enthusiasts like to keep spare sets on hand for regular maintenance sessions.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Hinge pins are replacement parts rather than a complete product, so they're best suited for RC enthusiasts with some experience in vehicle maintenance and assembly. Beginners may not need this set immediately but will find it invaluable once they begin learning suspension maintenance. If you own an ARRMA ready to run RC car and plan to maintain it long-term, this is an essential spares item to have available.
- What makes these better than aftermarket hinge pins? — ARRMA's precision manufacturing ensures tight tolerances that prevent binding and maintain accurate suspension geometry. The use of quality steel and precision machining means these pins will last longer and perform more consistently than cheaper aftermarket alternatives. Using genuine OEM parts is always the safer choice for maintaining performance and reliability.
