Key Features
- Genuine FTX OEM Parts — These suspension arms are manufactured by FTX to the same specifications and tolerances as the original equipment, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your Banzai drift car without any modification or adjustment needed.
- Pair of Two Arms — You receive both rear lower suspension arms required for a complete rear suspension setup, allowing you to replace damaged or worn components on both sides of the vehicle simultaneously for balanced handling.
- Precision Engineered Geometry — The suspension arms are designed with specific geometry angles and mounting points that work in harmony with the FTX Banzai's overall suspension design to deliver the responsive handling and drift characteristics the platform is known for.
- Direct Fit Design — As genuine FTX parts, these suspension arms install directly into the existing suspension mounting points without requiring any custom drilling, bracket modifications, or adjustment to other suspension components.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the demands of RC drift driving, including sustained weight transfer during cornering, acceleration forces, and the general impacts of hobby-grade RC use on tarmac and prepared surfaces.
- Cost-Effective Spares Solution — Replacing suspension arms individually when damaged or worn is more economical than purchasing a complete new chassis or suspension assembly, extending the serviceable life of your FTX Banzai.
Technical Performance
The FTX Banzai Rear Lower Suspension Arms are precision-engineered components manufactured to maintain the exact specifications required for optimal suspension geometry in the FTX Banzai 1/10th scale 4WD electric drift car platform. The rear suspension system on drift-focused RC cars requires careful geometric tuning to manage the unique demands of sustained sliding and weight transfer during cornering manoeuvres. These lower arms form a critical part of that geometry by controlling the vertical movement of the rear wheels while maintaining proper alignment angles throughout the suspension travel. The arms are constructed from durable materials selected to withstand repeated cycles of acceleration, deceleration, and lateral loading that occur during drift driving sessions. Their design maintains compatibility with the FTX Banzai's brushed electric motor system, suspension shocks, and overall chassis architecture. The precision fit ensures that when installed correctly, the suspension geometry remains within factory specifications, preserving the handling balance and responsiveness that makes the Banzai a popular choice among UK-based RC drift car enthusiasts. These replacement parts are essential for keeping your FTX Banzai performing at its best, whether you're enjoying casual backyard driving or more intense drift competitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the FTX Banzai and will these suspension arms fit my car? — The FTX Banzai is a 1/10th scale 4WD ready to run RC drift car that features a brushed electric motor system and touring-car inspired chassis design. These rear lower suspension arms are genuine FTX parts specifically designed for the FTX Banzai platform, making them direct-fit replacements for damaged or worn original components. They are also compatible with the FTX 1/10 Touring/Drift Car Roller Chassis (FTX5536) as that shares the same suspension architecture.
- Why would I need replacement suspension arms for my RC car? — Suspension arms can be damaged through crashes, impacts with objects, or aggressive driving manoeuvres. Over time, repeated suspension travel cycles can also cause wear to mounting points or minor cracking. Having genuine replacement parts on hand allows you to quickly restore your RC car to full performance rather than waiting for repairs or purchasing expensive replacement assemblies.
- Are these suspension arms difficult to install? — The FTX Banzai Rear Lower Suspension Arms are designed as direct replacements and should install into the existing suspension mounting points without requiring special tools or extensive mechanical knowledge. However, you will need basic RC car maintenance skills and familiarity with your vehicle's suspension system. Detailed installation instructions are recommended, and many RC enthusiasts find it helpful to consult online guides or seek assistance from experienced RC car UK community members.
- Will buying these suspension arms improve my car's performance? — These are replacement parts designed to restore your FTX Banzai to factory performance specifications when original components are damaged or worn. They are not performance upgrades. However, replacing worn suspension arms will restore proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics that may have degraded if the original arms were damaged.
- What other parts might I need to maintain my FTX Banzai? — The FTX Banzai ecosystem includes numerous optional parts and replacement components. Depending on your usage, you might also consider keeping spare tyres, shock oils or springs, servo components, electronic speed controller components, and motor brushes on hand. RC Model Shop stocks a full range of FTX Banzai spare parts and options to support your RC car hobby.
