Key Features
- OEM Axial Specification — Manufactured to original equipment manufacturer standards by Axial, ensuring perfect fitment, durability and suspension performance on your Yeti Jr. These control arms maintain the precise geometry and engineering that defines Yeti Jr. handling characteristics.
- Front Lower Control Arm Configuration — Specifically engineered for the front lower suspension position on the Yeti Jr., these arms work in concert with your existing upper control arms and suspension links to create the multi-link suspension geometry that allows the Yeti Jr. to articulate smoothly over rocks and obstacles.
- Red Anodised Finish — The vibrant red colour provides both aesthetic appeal and practical visibility on the trail or in the workshop, making it easy to identify these components during maintenance or repair. The anodised finish also offers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance compared to bare metal.
- Direct Replacement Part — Designed as a drop-in replacement for original Yeti Jr. front lower control arms, this set requires no modification or adjustment to your existing suspension setup, making installation straightforward for home builders and experienced technicians alike.
- Essential Spares Component — Control arms are wear items in RC crawlers that may suffer damage from heavy impacts, rock strikes, or general fatigue from extended use. Having genuine replacement arms ensures you can quickly return your rig to action without compromising performance or geometry.
- Maintains Suspension Geometry — Using genuine Axial control arms preserves the original suspension geometry and articulation characteristics that were engineered into your Yeti Jr., ensuring predictable handling and optimal ground clearance when tackling obstacles.
Technical Performance
The Axial Yeti Jr. Front Lower Control Arm Set represents precision-engineered suspension componentry designed specifically for micro-scale RC crawling and rock crawling applications. Control arms form the critical linkage between your vehicle's chassis and suspension, determining the path of wheel travel and the geometry that governs how your rig articulates over terrain. The Yeti Jr. utilises a multi-link suspension architecture where front lower control arms work alongside upper arms, tie rods, and shock absorbers to create a sophisticated suspension package capable of impressive articulation and compliance. These arms must balance strength with lightweight construction, as they experience cyclic loads during suspension compression, rock strikes, and rapid direction changes. The red anodised aluminium construction provides excellent strength-to-weight characteristics whilst offering improved corrosion resistance. By specifying genuine Axial components, you ensure that your front suspension maintains the precise geometry intended by Axial's engineering team, which directly impacts your crawler's ability to maintain traction, manage weight transfer, and navigate technical terrain. Replacement at the first signs of wear or damage preserves your vehicle's handling predictability and extends the life of related components like shocks and ball joints that depend on proper alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a control arm and why does my Yeti Jr. need genuine Axial replacements? — Control arms are suspension links that connect your chassis to the wheel hubs, allowing the suspension to compress and extend while maintaining correct wheel alignment. In RC crawlers, precision-engineered control arms are essential for maintaining the suspension geometry that enables impressive articulation and traction. Genuine Axial parts ensure you maintain the original design specifications and performance that Axial engineers intended for your Yeti Jr.
- How do I know if my control arms need replacing? — Inspect your control arms for visible bending, cracks, or damage from rock strikes. If your rig's handling feels unpredictable, pulls to one side, or doesn't articulate smoothly on obstacles, worn or damaged control arms may be the cause. Regular inspection during maintenance helps identify wear before it affects performance.
- Are these front or rear control arms? — These are specifically front lower control arms designed for the forward suspension position on your Yeti Jr. The Yeti Jr. also utilises rear suspension components, which are sold separately as the rear axle link set.
- What tools do I need to install these control arms? — Installation typically requires basic hex tools, screwdrivers, and familiarity with your Yeti Jr.'s suspension assembly. Consult your vehicle manual or Axial's technical documentation for specific torque specifications and assembly procedures. If you're unfamiliar with suspension work, your local RC hobby shop or experienced RC enthusiast can assist with installation.
- Will these arms fit other Axial models? — These arms are specifically designed for the Yeti Jr. platform. Other Axial vehicles such as the SCX10 III or RBX10 utilise different control arm designs and will not be compatible. Always verify model compatibility before purchasing replacement suspension components.
- What should I do if I notice handling changes or pulling to one side? — Suspension geometry directly affects handling. If your Yeti Jr. pulls left or right, exhibits unpredictable articulation, or feels unstable on technical terrain, damaged or bent control arms may be the cause. Inspect the arms for bending, and if damaged, replacement with these genuine Axial parts will restore your original suspension geometry and handling characteristics.
