Key Features
- Precision manufactured for a perfect fit — This component is engineered with exacting tolerances to ensure it fits perfectly into your 1/10 OutCast chassis without any modifications or adjustments needed. A precise fit is essential for maintaining proper chassis geometry and ensuring consistent steering response and handling characteristics across different driving conditions.
- Machined from high quality steel — The centre brace bar is constructed from premium steel material that has been precisely machined to exact specifications. Steel construction provides excellent durability and strength whilst maintaining the weight characteristics necessary for optimal vehicle performance, making it far superior to plastic alternatives commonly found in budget-level spares.
- High strength for dependable performance — The steel construction and precision engineering combine to deliver exceptional strength and rigidity, which reduces chassis flex during cornering, acceleration, and braking. This enhanced rigidity translates directly into more predictable handling, improved steering response, and greater overall reliability during extended driving sessions or competitive racing.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Center Brace Bar 200mm is engineered using high-grade steel that has been precision-machined to deliver exceptional structural support for the 1/10 OutCast chassis. At 200mm in length, this component is specifically designed to span the centre section of the chassis frame, providing critical bracing that reduces unwanted flex and torsion during cornering, acceleration, and aggressive manoeuvres. The centre brace bar works in conjunction with other chassis components to maintain optimal chassis geometry, which is essential for consistent steering feel, predictable handling, and reliable performance across varying terrain types. Steel construction provides superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to alternative materials, ensuring that the component contributes minimal weight whilst delivering maximum structural benefit. The precision machining process ensures that mounting points are perfectly aligned, allowing for seamless integration with your existing ARRMA chassis without any fitting issues or modifications. This level of engineering quality is particularly important in modern RC vehicles where chassis rigidity directly influences steering response, traction control, and overall driveability. Whether you're operating your OutCast in loose terrain, hard-packed surfaces, or mixed conditions, this centre brace bar helps maintain consistent performance by minimising chassis flex that could otherwise compromise handling accuracy and steering predictability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a centre brace bar do on an RC car? — The centre brace bar is a structural component that reduces chassis flex by bracing the central section of the frame. During aggressive driving, cornering, and high-speed manoeuvres, the chassis naturally experiences twisting and bending forces. A centre brace bar minimises this flex, which results in more responsive steering, predictable handling, and improved overall performance. It's particularly beneficial if you notice excessive chassis flex, inconsistent steering response, or reduced traction during driving.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA spare part? — Yes, the Z-ARA320533 is an official ARRMA spare part designed specifically for the 1/10 OutCast model. When you purchase genuine OEM spares from an authorised retailer like RC Model Shop, you can be confident that the component meets ARRMA's engineering specifications and will fit and perform exactly as intended.
- Will this fit my ARRMA OutCast? — This centre brace bar is engineered specifically for the 1/10 ARRMA OutCast, and it includes the required M5x40mm set screw for secure installation. The 200mm length and mounting points are designed to match your vehicle's chassis exactly, ensuring a perfect fit without modifications.
- Do I need tools to install this? — Installation requires basic tools typically found in any RC enthusiast's workshop, including hex keys and a screwdriver. The precision fit means you won't need to modify any components or drill new mounting holes. Detailed installation instructions should be consulted in your vehicle's manual for specific torque specifications.
- What is the difference between this spare part and aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine ARRMA spare parts like this centre brace bar are precision-engineered to exact specifications using premium materials and manufacturing processes. Aftermarket alternatives may vary in fit, material quality, and performance characteristics. By choosing genuine spares, you ensure compatibility, reliability, and consistency with your vehicle's original design specifications.
- Why would I need to replace my centre brace bar? — Centre brace bars may require replacement if they become bent from impacts, cracked from stress, or damaged during aggressive use. Regular inspection is recommended, particularly if you bash frequently or notice changes in your vehicle's handling characteristics. Replacing a damaged centre brace bar restores structural integrity and helps maintain the performance and driveability your OutCast was engineered to deliver.
