Key Features
- Precision CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — The front upper suspension mount is manufactured using precision CNC machining from high-quality aluminium, ensuring perfect tolerances and consistent performance across every unit. This manufacturing process eliminates variations and guarantees that the component will fit perfectly on your ARRMA vehicle every time, reducing unwanted play in the suspension system.
- Anodised Red Finish with Laser Etching — The mount is anodised in ARRMA's signature red colour and features laser etching for a professional, stylish appearance that enhances the visual appeal of your RC monster truck. The anodisation process also provides corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and wear over extended use in outdoor environments.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Hinge Pins — Two precision-machined steel hinge pins (4x49mm) are included in this set, manufactured from heavy-duty material to withstand the stresses of high-performance RC driving. The smooth surface finish of these pins increases the plushness and responsiveness of your front suspension, allowing for smoother articulation and better ground contact.
- Enhanced Strength and Durability — By upgrading to this precision-engineered front upper suspension mount, you add measurable strength and durability to the front suspension of your vehicle. The rigid aluminium construction resists flex and bending under aggressive cornering and jumping, maintaining suspension geometry for consistent handling and performance.
- Slop-Free Precision Fit — The precision manufacturing process ensures an accurate, slop-free fit to the upper suspension arms on your ARRMA vehicle. This tight tolerancing eliminates unwanted movement and play in the suspension linkage, resulting in more responsive handling and more predictable vehicle behaviour during competition or recreational driving.
- Factory-Authorised OEM Component — This is an official ARRMA factory part (Z-ARA330659), manufactured to exacting OEM specifications and compatible with a comprehensive range of ARRMA 6S EXB and brushless RC vehicles. Using genuine factory parts ensures compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives cannot guarantee.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Front Upper Suspension Mount represents the pinnacle of RC suspension engineering for the 6S EXB platform. Machined from aerospace-grade aluminium, this component has been engineered to provide maximum rigidity whilst maintaining the precise geometry required for optimal handling characteristics. The CNC machining process ensures that every mount produced meets identical specifications, eliminating manufacturing tolerances that can lead to inconsistent vehicle behaviour. The included steel hinge pins (4x49mm) are manufactured through a precision process that produces a smooth, consistent surface finish—this smoothness is critical because it directly impacts how freely the suspension can articulate. Surface imperfections or rough machining can cause binding and friction, reducing the responsiveness of the suspension. The two M3x6mm button head screws included in the package are precision-fastened hardware designed to secure the mount without over-tightening, which could strip the threads or crack the aluminium. The aluminium material choice is significant: it provides an optimal balance of strength-to-weight ratio, meaning you gain structural rigidity without adding unnecessary mass to the vehicle. This is particularly important in RC vehicles where unsprung weight directly impacts how the vehicle responds to surface irregularities and jumps. The anodised red finish isn't merely cosmetic—the anodisation process creates a hard oxide layer on the aluminium surface that provides protection against corrosion and wear, extending the service life of the component significantly compared to bare aluminium parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this front upper suspension mount fit my ARRMA vehicle? — This mount is compatible with ARRMA 6S EXB and 6S brushless models only, including the Kraton, Felony, Infraction, Mojave, Notorious, Talion, and Typhon models. Check the compatibility list above to confirm your exact vehicle version before purchasing. It will not fit ARRMA 8S models or 3S vehicles.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA part or an aftermarket replacement? — This is an authentic factory ARRMA component (part number Z-ARA330659), manufactured by ARRMA to OEM specifications. It is not an aftermarket third-party part. Using genuine ARRMA components ensures perfect fit, performance, and warranty coverage.
- Why would I need to replace or upgrade my front upper suspension mount? — The front upper suspension mount can wear or bend after extended use, particularly during aggressive bashing, racing, or high-speed driving. Upgrading to this CNC-machined aluminium version improves durability compared to stock plastic mounts, reduces flex in the suspension system, and provides a more rigid, responsive suspension setup. Replacement is also necessary if the original mount cracks or breaks from impact or heavy impacts.
- What makes this CNC-machined aluminium mount better than plastic stock mounts? — Aluminium provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic, meaning you gain structural rigidity without adding mass. The CNC machining process produces tighter tolerances than injection moulding, resulting in a slop-free fit that eliminates unwanted play in the suspension. The precision-machined steel hinge pins further improve suspension responsiveness by providing a smoother, more consistent pivot action than stock components.
- Do I need any tools to install this suspension mount? — Installation requires standard RC tools: a small Allen key or hex wrench to remove and install the M3 fasteners. No specialist tools are needed. Detailed installation instructions can be found on the ARRMA website or in your vehicle manual.
- Is this mount waterproof? — The aluminium mount itself is not affected by water, though the anodised finish protects against corrosion. However, ensure that steel hinge pins are dried thoroughly after water exposure to prevent rust. Standard RC vehicle maintenance practices apply.
