Overview
The Aluminum Adjustable FR Suspension Mount - TLR (ARA320653) is a precision-engineered front suspension component designed for serious RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their ARRMA vehicle's performance, durability and handling characteristics. This is a professional-grade suspension upgrade that transforms the geometry tuning capabilities of your RC buggy, truck or speed platform. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your setup for track conditions or a dedicated basher seeking maximum durability, this TLR Tuned suspension mount delivers the strength and adjustability you need.
Manufactured by ARRMA and engineered by TLR Racing (Team Losi Racing), this front suspension component is an essential upgrade for drivers who want to take their RC car UK performance to the next level. The part is designed specifically to fit the rear of the front gearbox, making it an ideal choice for 1/8 scale ARRMA vehicles including the KRATON 6S, NOTORIOUS 6S, OUTCAST 6S, TALION 6S, and TYPHON 6S models. This ready to run RC truck and buggy upgrade allows you to make critical suspension geometry adjustments that would otherwise be impossible, giving you competitive advantages on the track or trail.
Unlike standard fixed suspension mounts, this adjustable design works in conjunction with dedicated adjustment blocks (sold separately) to provide a range of geometry configurations. This means you can tune toe, roll centre, anti-squat and kick-up angles in half-degree increments, adapting your vehicle's handling to different track conditions, driving styles and weather environments. The investment in this suspension upgrade is an investment in your RC hobby, providing the kind of professional tuning capability that serious competitors and dedicated enthusiasts expect from their brushless RC vehicles.
Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — This suspension mount is manufactured using computer numerical control machining from high-quality aluminium, ensuring exact tolerances and perfect fitment to your ARRMA vehicle. The precision machining process guarantees that every mounting point aligns perfectly, eliminating play and ensuring consistent suspension geometry across multiple race runs or driving sessions.
- Anodised Finish with TLR Laser Etching — The component features a protective anodised finish that resists corrosion and wear, while the laser-etched TLR Tuned logo adds visual appeal and authenticity. The anodised coating extends the lifespan of the aluminium mount, protecting it from oxidation and weathering even when used in damp UK conditions or after exposure to saltwater environments at coastal locations.
- Enhanced Strength and Durability — By upgrading to this aluminium suspension mount, you significantly increase the strength and durability of your vehicle's front suspension system. The rigid aluminium construction resists flexing and deformation that can occur with plastic components during aggressive driving, ensuring consistent handling and eliminating suspension compliance issues that could affect lap times or reduce precision control.
- Front Lower Suspension Position — This component is specifically designed as a front lower suspension mount that attaches to the rear of the front gearbox, making it essential for proper suspension geometry on compatible ARRMA 1/8 scale vehicles. The strategic positioning allows for effective use of adjustment blocks to fine-tune critical suspension parameters.
- Compatible with Adjustment Block Systems — This mount is designed to work with TLR adjustment blocks (sold separately as ARA320658), which enable multiple suspension geometry configurations. The adjustment block interface allows you to select from various geometry inserts, each providing different toe, roll centre and anti-squat angles in precise half-degree increments.
- Wide Vehicle Compatibility — This suspension mount is compatible with numerous ARRMA 1/8 scale models across multiple categories including speed trucks (KRATON, TALION), stunt trucks (NOTORIOUS, OUTCAST) and buggies (TYPHON), as well as both RTR Ready to Run variants and TLR Tuned roller kits. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile upgrade that works across the ARRMA 6S platform.
Technical Performance
This Aluminum Adjustable FR Suspension Mount represents professional-grade engineering designed to meet the demanding requirements of competitive RC racing and serious hobbyist driving. The front lower suspension mount is constructed from high-quality aluminium that has been precision CNC machined to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and repeatable geometry. The anodised finish provides corrosion resistance critical for UK weather conditions and occasional exposure to wet environments. The mount's design philosophy centres on adjustability — rather than offering a single fixed geometry, it integrates with TLR Racing's comprehensive adjustment block system to enable seven different geometry configurations with eight pieces of each geometry insert supplied separately. This means your front lower suspension can be fine-tuned for toe adjustments, roll centre modifications, anti-squat geometry changes, and kick-up angle alterations, all adjustable in half-degree increments. The engineering allows drivers to systematically explore the full tuning envelope of their 1/8 scale brushless RC vehicle, adapting the suspension to different track surfaces, weather conditions, and personal driving preferences. The rigid aluminium construction eliminates the flex and compliance issues inherent in plastic components, ensuring that your suspension geometry remains stable and consistent lap after lap. This level of precision is particularly valuable for competitive RC enthusiasts and drivers seeking measurable improvements in handling response, cornering speed and overall chassis performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles does the Aluminum Adjustable FR Suspension Mount - TLR fit? — This front suspension mount is compatible with multiple ARRMA 1/8 scale models, including the KRATON 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck, NOTORIOUS 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless Stunt Truck, OUTCAST 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless Stunt Truck, TALION 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck, TYPHON 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless Buggy, and the TYPHON 6S TLR Tuned roller variants. Both standard RTR ready to run versions and TLR Tuned build kits are supported.
- What geometry adjustments can I make with this suspension mount? — When used with the optional ARA320658 Lower Arm Adjustment Block Set, this mount enables adjustments to toe, roll centre, anti-squat and kick-up angles in half-degree steps. The adjustment block system provides seven different geometry configurations with eight pieces of each type supplied, giving you comprehensive tuning capability to optimise your vehicle's handling for different conditions.
- Is this a complete suspension solution or do I need additional parts? — This FR (front right) suspension mount must be used as part of a complete suspension system. You will also need the FF (front left) suspension mount (ARA320652), the adjustment block set (ARA320658), and hinge pins (ARA330731). These components work together to provide a fully adjustable front suspension system for your ARRMA vehicle.
- What is the advantage of aluminium over plastic suspension mounts? — The aluminium construction provides superior rigidity and eliminates the flex and compliance issues that can occur with plastic components. This means your suspension geometry remains stable and consistent, delivering more predictable handling characteristics and enabling more precise control of your brushless RC vehicle. The anodised finish also provides better corrosion resistance for UK weather conditions.
- Can this be used on other RC brands? — No, this suspension mount is specifically engineered for ARRMA vehicles and designed to fit the rear of the front gearbox found on compatible 1/8 scale ARRMA models. It is not compatible with RC buggies, trucks or other vehicles from other manufacturers.
- Is professional installation required? — While the precision CNC machined design ensures proper fitment, installation requires familiarity with ARRMA suspension systems. If you are unfamiliar with RC vehicle assembly, we recommend consulting the official ARRMA manual or seeking assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts at your local RC hobby shop.
