Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I replace my RC car dog bones? — You should inspect your dog bones regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If you notice vibration during acceleration, clunking sounds from the drivetrain, or visible damage to the drive pins, replacement is necessary. Many competitive RC racers keep spare dog bones on hand to minimise downtime between runs.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, the ARRMA Dogbone 83.5mm Z-AR310588 are genuine ARRMA components manufactured to exact factory specifications. Using genuine spares ensures perfect compatibility, proper fit, and reliable performance in your RC vehicle.
- Will these fit my ARRMA RC car? — The 83.5mm length specification means these dog bones are designed for specific ARRMA vehicles that use this dimension. Check your vehicle's manual or contact our team to confirm compatibility with your particular model before ordering.
- How many dog bones should I have as spares? — Most RC enthusiasts keep at least one or two spare sets on hand, as these are wear items that can fail during intense driving. Having spares means you can keep racing or bashing without waiting for replacements to arrive.
- What's the difference between steel dog bones and plastic alternatives? — Steel dog bones like these ARRMA components offer superior strength, durability, and longevity compared to plastic alternatives. Whilst plastic may be lighter, steel provides the reliability needed for competitive racing and sustained bashing sessions.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a spare part rather than a complete vehicle, beginners will benefit from understanding the importance of drivetrain maintenance. These are recommended as replacement spares once your current dog bones show wear, making them suitable for anyone learning to maintain their RC car properly.
