Technical Performance
The ARRMA Flanged Tube 4x9x4mm components are precision-manufactured chassis spares that play a vital role in the suspension and structural systems of 1/5 scale brushless RC monster trucks and stunt trucks. These flanged tubes are engineered using quality materials selected for durability and dimensional consistency, ensuring they maintain precise tolerances across multiple units. The flanged design is not merely aesthetic; it serves a functional purpose in the suspension assembly, providing proper lateral positioning and reducing play in the suspension joints. When used with the ARRMA Kraton 4X4 8S BLX EXB or Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB brushless models, these tubes help transmit suspension forces efficiently throughout the chassis while maintaining the geometric relationships necessary for predictable handling characteristics. The 8S brushless power systems in these vehicles generate significant suspension loads during acceleration, braking, and cornering, making quality OEM replacement tubes essential for maintaining performance and longevity. Regular inspection and timely replacement of suspension components like these flanged tubes is part of responsible RC vehicle ownership and helps prevent secondary damage to other suspension and chassis parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a flanged tube and why does my RC monster truck need it? — A flanged tube is a suspension component used in the chassis assembly of RC vehicles. The flange (the widened section at the end) provides a bearing surface that helps position suspension joints correctly and reduces movement or play in the suspension linkages. This is critical for maintaining consistent handling and geometry, especially in high-performance brushless 8S RC monster trucks like the ARRMA Kraton and Outcast models.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ARRMA spares with the official part number Z-ARA340162, ensuring they are manufactured to ARRMA's exact specifications and will fit perfectly on your compatible model.
- Which RC models are these compatible with? — These flanged tubes are specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/5 Kraton 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Monster Truck RTR and the ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck RTR in black. Always verify compatibility before purchasing replacement parts.
- How do I know when to replace the flanged tubes on my RC truck? — Flanged tubes may need replacement if you notice increased play or looseness in the suspension, uneven wear on tyres, inconsistent handling response, or if they have become bent or cracked from impacts or normal wear during heavy use. Regular maintenance inspections help identify wear before it affects performance.
- Can I use these tubes on other ARRMA models? — These tubes are specifically engineered for the Kraton and Outcast 8S models. Other ARRMA models may use different suspension geometries and tube sizes, so always confirm compatibility with your model before purchasing.
- Do I need to replace all four tubes at once? — For optimal suspension performance and consistent handling, it is recommended to replace all suspension components as a complete set rather than replacing individual tubes. This ensures uniform stiffness and performance across the entire suspension system.
