Overview

The FTX Tracer Front Upper Suspension Arms (FTX9706) are essential replacement parts for owners of the FTX Tracer 1/16 scale RC monster truck and truggy range. These high-quality suspension components are engineered to maintain the precise geometry and handling characteristics that make the FTX Tracer one of the most capable 1/16 scale RC vehicles available in the UK market. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your ready to run RC truck to its limits, or an enthusiast enjoying weekend bashing sessions, having spare suspension arms on hand ensures you can quickly get back on the track or trail without lengthy downtime.

Suspension systems are critical to RC vehicle performance, affecting everything from stability through corners to traction on uneven terrain. The front upper suspension arms work in conjunction with the lower arms to control wheel movement and maintain optimal ride height.

Built to FTX's exacting standards, these arms are designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of driving conditions.

Technical Performance

The FTX Tracer Front Upper Suspension Arms are precision-engineered components that play a vital role in the suspension geometry of your 1/16 scale RC vehicle. Suspension arms dictate how the wheels track, how much articulation is possible, and how the vehicle responds to bumps and uneven terrain. These front upper arms work alongside lower suspension arms and shock absorbers to create a complete independent suspension system. By maintaining factory-specification suspension geometry, you ensure that your FTX Tracer 1/16 RC monster truck or truggy delivers the handling balance and performance envelope it was designed for. The arms are built from durable materials selected to withstand the stresses of competitive racing and casual bashing alike. Whether you're driving on tarmac, grass, dirt or gravel, proper suspension arm alignment is essential for traction, stability and vehicle longevity. Replacing worn or damaged arms restores your vehicle to factory specification and prevents secondary damage to other drivetrain components caused by misalignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX Tracer models are these suspension arms compatible with? — These FTX9706 front upper suspension arms are designed to fit the entire FTX Tracer 1/16 scale range. Compatibility includes the FTX Tracer 1/16 RTR Monster Truck in blue, red and orange variants, as well as all FTX Tracer Brushless 1/16 4WD monster truck models. Additionally, they fit the FTX Tracer 1/16 4WD Truggy Truck RTR in red, green and orange. If you own any variant of the FTX Tracer 1/16 platform, these arms will be the correct replacement parts.
• Are these OEM original parts or third-party replacements? — These are genuine FTX original equipment manufacturer parts, not aftermarket alternatives. They are manufactured to the same specifications as the suspension arms fitted to new vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and authentic performance characteristics. When you buy FTX9706, you are purchasing factory-original components directly equivalent to what came on your RC truck.
• Why do I need replacement suspension arms? — Suspension arms are wear-and-tear components that can bend, crack or develop stress fractures after extended use, particularly in competitive racing or high-speed bashing environments. Additionally, if your FTX Tracer 1/16 has been involved in a collision or hard impact, suspension arms may be damaged or bent out of specification. Maintaining spare suspension arms allows you to quickly replace damaged components and get back to driving without delays. Having a matched pair ensures consistent handling on both the left and right sides of your vehicle.
• Do these come with mounting hardware? — These FTX9706 parts are the suspension arms themselves. You will need to transfer any existing bearings, pivot pins and fasteners from your old arms, or you may wish to purchase a complete suspension refresh kit if multiple components require replacement.
• What is the difference between upper and lower suspension arms? — Front suspension systems typically use pairs of arms working together—the upper arm and lower arm—which control how the wheel moves vertically and maintain alignment. The upper arms (which is what the FTX9706 provides) work alongside lower arms to create a wishbone or double-A-arm suspension geometry. If you have damage to both upper and lower arms, you may need both types of replacement parts to fully restore your suspension system.
• Are there upgraded alternatives to these arms? — Yes, FTX and other manufacturers offer aluminium suspension arm sets that provide enhanced durability and rigidity compared to standard plastic arms. If you are interested in upgrading your suspension components for additional strength and performance, aluminium alternatives are available from RC Model Shop.
• How do I know if my suspension arms are damaged? — Signs of suspension arm damage include visible cracks or fractures, bent arms causing uneven ride height or camber angles, handling that feels unstable or unbalanced, or difficulty maintaining straight-line driving. If you notice any of these symptoms on your FTX Tracer 1/16 RC monster truck or truggy, inspect your suspension arms and replace them if necessary.
