Technical Performance

The FTX Uprights (2) function as a core suspension element in the vertical load path of your RC car's chassis, directly connecting the wheel hub assembly to the main suspension arms and shock mounts. These components must withstand substantial lateral forces during cornering, vertical impacts from jumps and rough terrain, and the constant micro-adjustments required for maintaining proper camber and caster angles. FTX has engineered these uprights with appropriate material selection and dimensional tolerances to deliver reliable performance across the full range of compatible vehicles—from the Vantage 2.0 brushed buggy through to the Carnage 2.0 and higher-performance Carnage 2.0 brushless truck models. The uprights' geometry directly influences your vehicle's handling characteristics, including how the suspension responds to bumps, how quickly the chassis can change direction, and how effectively load transfer occurs during aggressive driving. Whether you're running a 1/10 scale brushless RC buggy on a technical track or a brushed truck bashing across rough ground, proper upright geometry ensures your suspension works as the engineers intended. The compatibility list demonstrates that FTX has designed these uprights to work seamlessly across various model platforms including the Bugsta 4WD brushed buggy, Khaos brushless truggy, Outlaw Ultra-4 buggy models (both brushed and brushless variants), and Zorro trophy truck range (brushed, brushless, and nitro versions), making them a versatile upgrade solution for any FTX owner with one of these compatible models.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX RC cars are these uprights compatible with? — These uprights fit a comprehensive range of FTX 1/10 scale models including the FTX Vantage 2.0 brushed and brushless buggies, FTX Carnage 2.0 brushed and brushless trucks, FTX Banzai drift cars, FTX Bugsta off-road buggy, FTX Outlaw Ultra-4 buggies (both brushed and brushless), FTX Khaos brushless truggy, and the FTX Zorro trophy truck range (brushed, brushless, and nitro variants). They also fit the FTX 1/10 touring and drift car roller chassis models, making them a versatile spare part for many FTX owners.
• Are these suspension uprights easy to install on my FTX RC car? — Yes, as OEM suspension components designed specifically for FTX vehicles, these uprights install directly without modification. Simply unbolt your existing uprights and bolt these in place using the standard attachment points on your vehicle's suspension arms and shock towers. No special tools or RC expertise is required beyond basic socket or Allen key access.
• What is a suspension upright and why does it matter for my RC car? — The upright is the structural component that connects your wheel hub and tyre to your RC car's main suspension assembly. It maintains the proper angles and distances between the wheel and the chassis, directly affecting how your car handles corners, absorbs bumps, and responds to driver input. Worn or damaged uprights cause poor handling and can lead to uneven tyre wear and suspension stress.
• Will upgrading to these uprights improve my RC car's performance? — If you're replacing worn or damaged uprights, switching to genuine FTX components ensures you're returning to factory specification performance. For some users, exploring FTX's aluminium knuckle arm upgrades (sold separately) can further refine suspension performance, though these standard uprights provide reliable baseline geometry.
• Can I use these uprights on other brands of RC cars? — No, these uprights are specifically engineered for FTX vehicle platforms listed in the compatibility section. Using them on non-FTX vehicles could result in poor fitment and handling issues. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
• Are these original factory parts? — Yes, these are genuine FTX components manufactured to the same specifications as the parts fitted to new FTX vehicles. You can purchase with confidence knowing you're getting authentic suspension spares, not third-party alternatives.
