Technical Performance
The FTX Texan 1/10 L/R Steering Hub Arms are engineering components that form part of the vehicle's suspension and steering architecture. As steering hub arms, these parts mount between the steering bellcrank or servo assembly and the wheel hub, translating the rotational input from your radio transmitter into precise wheel angle changes. The steering geometry these components help establish is fundamental to how responsively your RC car reacts to steering inputs, and maintaining proper steering alignment is essential for achieving consistent lap times and reliable handling in both tight courses and open terrain. The 1/10 scale specification ensures compatibility with the FTX Texan platform specifically, and genuine manufacturer parts guarantee that the material properties, thickness, and pivot points are optimised for the vehicle's weight, power delivery, and suspension characteristics. Whether you're running stock or upgraded motors and batteries, these hub arms will maintain consistent steering geometry that complements your vehicle's performance envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these steering hub arms suitable for my FTX Texan RC car? — Yes, these are specifically designed as replacement parts for the FTX Texan 1/10 scale vehicle. As genuine FTX manufacturer parts, they are engineered to the exact specifications required for your model and will integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension and steering setup without any modifications or compatibility issues.
- Will these improve my steering response on my RC car UK setup? — These components replace worn or damaged original parts and restore your vehicle to its factory steering geometry and response characteristics. If your steering has felt loose or unresponsive, replacing damaged hub arms can restore the crisp steering feel your Texan was designed to deliver, improving your control during fast cornering and precision driving.
- How difficult is it to install steering hub arms on an RC car? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools like hex keys and possibly a screwdriver. The hub arms simply bolt or screw into place where your old components were located. If you're comfortable with basic RC car maintenance, installation should take only a few minutes per side. Complete step-by-step instructions are available in the FTX Texan manual.
- Do I need both left and right hub arms or can I just replace one side? — For optimal steering geometry and handling balance, it's best to replace both sides as a pair. These components work together to establish your vehicle's steering response, and if one side is newer whilst the other is worn, you may experience inconsistent handling and steering feel. The L/R pair included in this package ensures symmetrical performance.
- Can these hub arms be used on other FTX models? — These parts are specifically manufactured for the FTX Texan 1/10 model. Whilst other FTX vehicles may have similar-looking steering components, each model has its own steering geometry and hub arm specifications. Always verify that replacement parts are designed for your specific model before purchasing to ensure proper fitment and performance.
