- Front and rear pair included — You receive both front and rear sway bar mount plates in a single purchase, ensuring a cohesive, coordinated upgrade across your entire suspension system for a fully finished look.
- Replaces plastic OEM plates — These mounts directly replace the plastic cover plates found in ARA330692, making installation seamless on compatible ARRMA vehicles without any modification required.
- Includes matching fitting hardware — All bolts, grub screws, and fasteners needed for complete installation are supplied in the box, so you don't need to hunt for additional hardware elsewhere.
- Compatible with multiple 4S platforms — Engineered to fit ARRMA 1/10 Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck models and ARRMA 1/10 OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck variants, ensuring broad compatibility across the ARRMA 4S range.

Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Sway Bar Mount Front & Rear represents serious engineering for 1/10 scale 4S brushless RC cars. Manufactured from precision-machined red aluminium, these cover plates transform the appearance of your suspension while adding measurable durability. The machining process ensures tight tolerances and a perfect fit against compatible chassis, eliminating the cheap plastic rattle that plagues standard OEM setups. The alloy construction provides excellent structural rigidity, which helps maintain consistent sway bar performance even under the extreme stresses of high-speed cornering, jumps, and aggressive driving. The included grub screws require thread lock application to prevent loosening during intense use, and careful adjustment ensures your sway bar maintains a very small gap for free movement—this is critical for maintaining proper suspension geometry and predictable handling on everything from smooth tarmac to rough off-road terrain. These components are manufactured to the same precision standards expected by competitive RC drivers and weekend bashers alike, making them suitable for 4S LiPo-powered platforms with their higher power outputs and demanding operating conditions.

- Front sway bar mount plate (red aluminium)
- Rear sway bar mount plate (red aluminium)
- Complete fitting hardware set (bolts and grub screws)
Installation and Maintenance Notes
- Thread lock required — Apply thread lock compound to the adjusting grub screws before final installation to prevent them from working loose during use.
- Leave adjustment gap — Do not overtighten the grub screws; maintain a very small gap to allow the sway bar to move freely and articulate properly through corners and over obstacles.
- Compatible with ARA330692 — These mounts are specifically designed as direct replacements for the plastic plates in ARRMA model ARA330692 sway bar assemblies.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA 4S models are these sway bar mounts compatible with? — The RC Overhaul Sway Bar Mount Front & Rear are engineered for the ARRMA 1/10 Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck RTR (both standard and Green variants, part numbers C-ARA4408V2T3 and C-ARA4408V2T4) and the ARRMA 1/10 OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck RTR in both Gunmetal and Red colours (part numbers C-ARA4410V2T3 and C-ARA4410V2T4). They are designed as replacements for plastic plates in ARA330692.
- Are these sway bar mounts suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are ideal for any RC enthusiast. While they are an upgrade component rather than a complete vehicle, installation is straightforward and requires only basic mechanical knowledge and common tools. The grub screw adjustment allows beginners to learn suspension tuning in a practical, hands-on way.
- Do I need thread lock, and what type? — Yes, thread lock is essential and is included in the installation notes. Use a medium-strength thread lock (typically blue Loctite or equivalent) on the adjusting grub screws to prevent them from loosening during driving. Allow the thread lock to cure fully before use.
- How much do these sway bar mounts improve my RC car? — Beyond the obvious visual upgrade from the striking red aluminium finish, these mounts enhance durability and maintain consistent suspension performance. They eliminate plastic flex and wear, providing reliable sway bar operation through countless bashings and races. The precision machining ensures perfect fitment, which translates to more predictable handling characteristics.
- Can I adjust the sway bar stiffness with these mounts? — Yes. The grub screw mechanism allows fine-tuning of sway bar tension. Tightening the grub screws increases sway bar stiffness (reducing body roll in corners), whilst backing them off reduces stiffness (increasing compliance over rough terrain). Proper adjustment requires leaving a very small gap so the sway bar can still articulate freely.
- What tools do I need to install these? — You'll need basic RC car tools: a set of hex keys (Allen wrenches) for the fasteners and a small hex key for the grub screws. A thread lock applicator or precision applicator bottle is recommended for neat application of thread lock compound.
- Are these parts waterproof? — These are solid aluminium components with no electronics, so they are inherently waterproof. You can run them in wet conditions without concern for water damage, though standard maintenance practices should still be followed to keep your RC car in top condition.
