Overview
The ARRMA Steel RF Suspension Mount (Model Z-ARA330682) is a precision-engineered replacement part designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand durability and reliability from their vehicles. This suspension component addresses one of the most highly stressed areas on modern brushless RC trucks and buggies, providing essential reinforcement for competitive drivers and weekend bashers alike. Whether you're running an ARRMA Kraton, Typhon, Talion, Infraction, Felony, Mojave, or any of the other compatible models in the UK RC hobby market, this steel suspension mount delivers the strength and longevity your investment deserves.
If you're an RC model enthusiast who regularly pushes your vehicle to its limits—whether on track, in the dirt, or bashing around your local terrain—you'll appreciate the engineering and attention to detail that goes into this component. The rear suspension is subject to enormous forces during acceleration, braking, and high-speed cornering, especially when running on 6S brushless power systems. A worn or damaged suspension mount can compromise handling, introduce flex, and accelerate wear on surrounding components. This steel replacement ensures your ready to run RC vehicle maintains optimal performance and structural integrity.
The Steel RF Suspension Mount is suitable for all skill levels, from intermediate builders looking to upgrade their ARRMA RC car to experienced racers seeking OEM-quality replacement parts. As an authorised dealer for ARRMA, RC Model Shop supplies genuine components that guarantee perfect fitment and compatibility with your specific model.
Key Features
- High-strength stainless steel construction — This component is precision manufactured from high-strength stainless steel, a material chosen specifically for its superior durability and resistance to corrosion. Unlike plastic or composite alternatives, steel provides the rigidity needed to eliminate flex in the suspension system, which directly translates to improved handling characteristics and longer component lifespan.
- Adds durability to a highly-stressed area — The rear suspension mount is one of the most critical stress points on any 1/7 or 1/8 scale RC truck, especially when powered by brushless motors running 6S LiPo batteries. This steel reinforcement absorbs the immense forces generated during acceleration and deceleration, protecting neighbouring suspension components and the chassis itself from premature failure.
- Accurately formed for easy fit and straight forward servicing — Each mount is precisely formed during manufacturing to ensure it drops into place without requiring extensive modification or alignment. This attention to precision means you can replace or upgrade your suspension mount quickly and confidently, minimising downtime during maintenance or repair cycles.
- Fits to the front hanger of the rear suspension — This component specifically attaches to the front hanger of the rear suspension assembly, a strategic location that provides maximum reinforcement where the suspension connects to the chassis. This positioning ensures the mount shares load-bearing responsibilities across a wider area, reducing peak stresses on any single mounting point.
- Compatible with multiple ARRMA models — Whether you own a 1/7 scale model such as the Big Rock, Felony, Fireteam, Infraction, Limitless, Mojave, or a 1/8 scale vehicle like the Kraton, Notorious, Outcast, Talion, or Typhon, this universal mounting solution fits seamlessly into your ARRMA RC car or truck, making it an essential part for any multi-model collection.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Steel RF Suspension Mount represents a significant upgrade path for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance vehicle longevity and performance. Manufactured from precision-grade stainless steel, this component offers substantially greater rigidity compared to the standard plastic or composite mounts found on many ready to run RC vehicles. When running modern brushless RC systems—such as those equipped with 6S LiPo batteries delivering 22.2 volts and high current draws through ESCs rated for 100+ amps—the resulting acceleration forces place tremendous stress on suspension attachment points. The steel construction of this mount ensures minimal deflection under load, which maintains precise suspension geometry and prevents the handling degradation that occurs when mounting points flex or wear. The component's accurately formed design means it integrates seamlessly with the existing suspension architecture, requiring no filing, grinding, or custom fabrication. For users of 1/7 and 1/8 scale ARRMA models operating in competitive or aggressive bash environments, this upgrade transforms the rear suspension from a potential weak point into a reinforced assembly capable of handling the demands placed upon it by high-powered brushless systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models is the Steel RF Suspension Mount compatible with? — This suspension mount fits a wide range of ARRMA vehicles including 1/7 scale models such as the Big Rock 6S, Felony 6S, Fireteam 6S, Infraction 6S, Limitless 6S and Limitless 120 8S, and Mojave 6S, as well as 1/8 scale models including the Kraton 6S, Notorious 6S, Outcast 6S, Talion 6S, and Typhon 6S. Always check the compatibility list to confirm your specific model number is listed.
- Why should I upgrade to a steel suspension mount? — The standard plastic or composite mounts on many ready to run RC vehicles experience flex under the enormous forces generated by brushless motors and modern LiPo batteries. This flex degrades handling, accelerates wear on adjacent components, and can eventually lead to cracks or complete failure. A steel mount eliminates flex, maintains precise suspension geometry, and dramatically extends the lifespan of your entire suspension assembly.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a genuine OEM replacement part suitable for all skill levels, it is primarily intended as an upgrade or replacement component rather than an entry-level product. Beginners with a working vehicle will benefit from upgrading to this steel mount to improve durability, whilst intermediate and advanced users will appreciate the enhanced performance and reduced maintenance intervals.
- How difficult is installation? — The Steel RF Suspension Mount is accurately formed for easy fit and straightforward servicing, meaning installation requires no special tools or fabrication skills. If you're comfortable performing basic maintenance on your RC vehicle, you'll have no difficulty installing this component. It simply bolts to the front hanger of the rear suspension assembly.
- Will this improve my lap times or speed? — Whilst the steel suspension mount is not designed to increase top speed, it will improve handling consistency and precision by eliminating flex in the suspension system. Competitive drivers will notice sharper response to steering inputs and more predictable cornering behaviour, especially during extended practice sessions or races where suspension fatigue might otherwise degrade a plastic mount.
