Overview
The FTX Banzai Rear Hub Carrier (2pc) FTX6598 is an essential replacement suspension component designed specifically for the FTX Banzai 1/10th scale drift car. This genuine OEM spare part is manufactured by FTX, a trusted name in RC car UK enthusiast circles, and provides the critical mounting interface between your rear axle assembly and suspension system. Whether you're a seasoned RC car racer or a weekend basher enjoying high-speed drift action, having quality replacement hub carriers ensures your ready to run RC vehicle maintains optimal performance and longevity.
Hub carriers are fundamental structural components in any RC car's suspension geometry. They support the wheel bearings, connect the rear axle to the suspension arms, and play a vital role in maintaining proper wheel alignment and handling characteristics. Over time, through aggressive cornering, impacts, or general wear and tear during competitive driving or casual bashing sessions, hub carriers can become damaged or worn. This two-piece pack from FTX gives you the opportunity to restore your Banzai drift car to factory specifications, ensuring consistent performance on tarmac and smooth surfaces.
The FTX Banzai itself is renowned in the RC car community as an excellent 1/10th scale 4WD brushed electric drift vehicle, capable of exciting performances with precise steering response and smooth sliding capabilities. By maintaining key suspension components like these rear hub carriers, you preserve the vehicle's handling balance and drift characteristics. RC Model Shop stocks genuine FTX spare parts and hop-ups, making it easy for UK-based RC enthusiasts to source exactly what they need to keep their models running perfectly.
