Technical Performance
The FTX Carnage Rear Dogbones are critical drivetrain components that form part of the rear axle assembly on compatible FTX vehicles. These rear driveshaft elements connect the rear differential housing to the outer CV joints that drive the rear wheels, allowing torque to be transmitted from the motor and transmission to the wheels whilst accommodating the vertical movement of the rear suspension during articulation over bumps and obstacles. The engineering behind these components ensures they can handle the stresses of off-road driving, from high-speed acceleration on flat ground to the demanding suspension flex required when crawling over rocks and rough terrain. Customer reviews consistently highlight their strength and resistance to bending, even under hard use conditions, though experienced users recommend applying red threadlock compound to the securing pins and allowing it to cure fully before installation to prevent the pins from loosening during vibration and aggressive driving. The fit quality is precise across all compatible models, indicating that FTX maintains tight manufacturing tolerances throughout their component range, which is essential for maintaining the suspension geometry and handling characteristics that make the Carnage platform so popular among UK RC enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these FTX Carnage Rear Dogbones compatible with? — These rear dogbones are designed to fit multiple FTX models including the FTX Bugsta 4WD brushed 1/10th off-road buggy RTR, FTX Carnage 2.0 1/10 brushed truck 4WD RTR (both red and blue versions), FTX Carnage 2.0 brushless RTR monster truck, FTX Carnage NT 1/10th RTR 4WD nitro truck, FTX Zorro Trophy Truck brushless RTR (orange), and FTX Zorro Nitro Trophy Truck RTR (both blue and orange versions).
- Do I need to do anything special during installation? — Yes, experienced RC users recommend applying red threadlock compound to the securing pins and allowing it to cure fully before installing the dogbones. This prevents the pins from coming loose during driving due to vibration and the forces experienced during off-road use.
- Will these fit my second-hand FTX Carnage? — These dogbones are designed for FTX Carnage models, so they should fit older Carnage trucks you've purchased second-hand, making them ideal for maintaining and repairing used FTX vehicles found on the UK second-hand market.
- What do these components actually do? — The rear dogbones are part of your RC truck or buggy's rear axle assembly. They connect the rear differential to the wheel hubs, transmitting power from the motor to the wheels whilst allowing the suspension to move up and down as you drive over rough terrain.
- How long do dogbones last? — Customer reviews indicate these FTX dogbones are strong and resistant to bending, with users reporting good durability even after a year of intensive use. However, they can be damaged through high-impact collisions or if you're driving very aggressively, in which case replacement becomes necessary.
- Why would I need replacement dogbones? — Dogbones may need replacing after high-impact crashes, if they become bent or cracked from intensive use, or as part of regular maintenance and spares rotation to keep your RC vehicle in peak condition.
