Overview
The ARRMA Sway Bar Rear 2.7mm is a premium suspension tuning component designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand precise handling control and reliable performance. Whether you're piloting a high-speed 1/8 scale brushless RC buggy, a nimble 1/7 street bash machine, or a dynamic stunt truck, this rear sway bar delivers the suspension adjustment you need to dial in your vehicle's cornering characteristics. As an essential chassis part for modern RC cars and trucks across the UK, this component is trusted by competitive drivers and weekend bashers alike who understand that suspension tuning is critical to achieving optimal performance.
If you're looking to improve your RC car's handling on UK RC tracks or off-road terrain, upgrading or replacing your factory sway bar with this high-quality component is one of the most effective tuning modifications you can make. The ARRMA Sway Bar Rear 2.7mm is engineered to reduce body roll during aggressive cornering, helping your RC vehicle maintain stability through tight turns and high-speed manoeuvres. This is particularly valuable for competitive RC drivers who are seeking that competitive edge, but equally important for any RC enthusiast who wants their machine to handle predictably and responsively.
Manufactured to ARRMA's exacting standards, this rear sway bar represents genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) quality that you can rely on. It's a straightforward but critical suspension component that makes a measurable difference to how your RC model responds to cornering inputs, allowing you to fine-tune your setup to match your driving style and track conditions.
Key Features
- High-quality spring steel construction — This sway bar is manufactured from premium spring steel, a material specifically chosen for its ability to provide consistent performance over extended periods of use. Spring steel maintains its properties through repeated flexing cycles, ensuring that your suspension tuning remains stable and predictable lap after lap, whether you're competing at an RC race event or enjoying casual backyard bashing.
- 2.7mm diameter cross-section — The 2.7mm diameter represents a specific stiffness rating that sits within ARRMA's suspension tuning range. This dimension is critical because it directly affects how much resistance the bar provides during cornering, influencing your vehicle's balance between stability and agility. The 2.7mm size offers a proven tuning solution for a wide range of ARRMA models.
- Reduces body roll during high-speed cornering — One of the primary functions of a rear sway bar is to minimise unwanted body roll when your RC vehicle is turning at speed. By resisting the weight transfer that occurs during cornering, this component helps keep your chassis more level, which improves tyre contact with the ground, enhances grip, and ultimately allows for more confident and faster cornering performance. This is essential for any RC driver serious about maximising their vehicle's potential.
- Fast and reliable tuning aid — Unlike engine tuning or drivetrain modifications that require significant installation work, swapping sway bars is a straightforward suspension adjustment that delivers immediate, measurable changes to handling characteristics. This makes it an ideal starting point for drivers who want to experiment with setup tuning without major mechanical intervention.
- Genuine OEM component — As an official ARRMA part (AR330201), you can be confident that this sway bar is designed specifically to work with your ARRMA vehicle and meets all the manufacturer's quality and performance standards. Using genuine parts ensures compatibility and reliability.
- Long-lasting durability — The premium spring steel material is engineered to withstand the repeated stresses of RC driving, maintaining its structural integrity and performance characteristics through countless hours of use. This durability means you're making a sensible long-term investment in your RC setup.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Sway Bar Rear 2.7mm is a precisely engineered suspension component manufactured from high-quality spring steel designed to deliver consistent anti-roll performance. The 2.7mm diameter represents a medium stiffness rating within ARRMA's comprehensive suspension tuning range, making it suitable for a variety of driving conditions and styles. Spring steel is the material of choice for sway bars in the RC industry because it combines excellent fatigue resistance with reliable, predictable performance characteristics. When installed on compatible ARRMA vehicles—including 1/8 scale models like the Typhon 6S, Outcast 6S, Notorious 6S, Kraton 6S, and Talion 6S, as well as 1/7 scale models such as the Felony 6S, Infraction 6S, and Limitless series—this rear sway bar effectively reduces body roll during cornering. This engineering benefit translates directly into improved chassis stability, enhanced tyre grip, and more responsive handling characteristics that competitive drivers and enthusiasts alike will immediately notice. The component's straightforward design requires no special tools or technical knowledge to install, making it accessible to RC drivers of all experience levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a sway bar and why would I need one for my RC car? — A sway bar (also called an anti-roll bar) is a suspension component that resists body roll during cornering. When your RC vehicle turns, the chassis naturally leans toward the outside of the turn due to centrifugal force. A sway bar reduces this roll by distributing the weight more evenly across both tyres, which keeps the chassis more level, improves tyre contact with the ground, and provides better overall grip and stability. This directly improves your vehicle's cornering performance and handling predictability.
- Which ARRMA models is this sway bar compatible with? — The ARRMA Sway Bar Rear 2.7mm (AR330201) is listed as compatible with numerous ARRMA vehicles including the 1/8 Typhon 6S, 1/8 Outcast 6S, 1/8 Notorious 6S, 1/8 Kraton 6S, 1/8 Talion 6S, 1/7 Felony 6S, 1/7 Infraction 6S, and 1/7 Limitless series models. Always verify your specific model against the manufacturer's compatibility list before purchase, as some models may have multiple sway bar options.
- How does the 2.7mm thickness compare to other sway bar options? — ARRMA offers multiple sway bar thickness options including alternatives referenced as ARA330259 and ARA330262. Generally speaking, thicker sway bars provide stiffer suspension response and greater body roll resistance, while thinner bars offer more chassis flexibility. The 2.7mm size represents a mid-range option that provides a good balance for most driving conditions and styles. If you find your vehicle rolling too much in corners, you might consider a thicker bar; if it feels too stiff, a thinner option could help.
- Is this suspension upgrade suitable for beginners? — Yes, sway bar swaps are an ideal entry-level suspension tuning modification. Unlike more complex modifications, changing a sway bar requires minimal mechanical skill and no special tools, making it perfect for beginners learning about RC setup tuning. You'll immediately feel the difference in handling, which makes it an excellent educational investment that teaches you how suspension adjustments affect vehicle performance.
- What's the difference between rear and front sway bars? — Rear sway bars specifically address body roll at the rear of the vehicle, affecting how the rear end responds during cornering. Front sway bars perform the same function at the front. Adjusting rear sway bar stiffness independently allows you to fine-tune whether your vehicle tends to understeer (front end loses grip first) or oversteer (rear end loses grip first), giving you precise control over handling balance.
- How often will I need to replace my sway bar? — High-quality spring steel sway bars like this ARRMA component are designed to last thousands of hours of use. Replacement is typically only necessary if the bar is damaged through impact or crash, or if you want to upgrade to a different stiffness rating for tuning purposes. Normal wear and tear from regular RC driving rarely necessitates replacement.
