Overview

The VITAVON CNC Alu7075+HD#45 Steel Front Upper Suspension Mount&Hinge Pin is a premium upgrade component designed for serious ARRMA 6S enthusiasts who demand maximum durability and performance from their RC car. Whether you run a Kraton, Mojave, Notorious, Typhon, Fireteam or the new Talion 6S EXB, this precision-engineered suspension mount and hinge pin assembly transforms the weak points of your stock setup into bulletproof components that can handle the most aggressive bashings and competitive racing. Built from aerospace-grade materials and manufactured using CNC precision machining, this upgrade is essential for anyone pushing their brushless 6S ARRMA to the limit on UK tracks, parks and off-road terrain.

VITAVON has earned recognition as a leading manufacturer of high-performance RC upgrade parts, and this front upper suspension assembly showcases why. The combination of premium materials, exacting tolerances and extensive compatibility testing means you get a component that not only fits perfectly but performs consistently race after race. Whether you're a weekend basher who wants more durability or a competitive racer seeking to eliminate suspension flex and improve handling precision, this upgrade delivers measurable improvements over the factory plastic parts. RC enthusiasts across the UK have discovered that investing in quality suspension upgrades like this one directly translates to faster lap times, fewer breakages and more time actually driving rather than repairing.

This is a direct bolt-on upgrade that requires no modification to your existing ARRMA 6S platform. The suspension mount comes pre-assembled with matching hardware and the replacement hinge pin ensures perfect alignment and rigidity. Available in both silver and red finishes to match your colour scheme, this VITAVON component is built to last through countless batteries and brutal track sessions.

Key Features

• CNC Machined Aluminium 7075 Suspension Mount — The suspension mount is precision-engineered from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium alloy, which offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior rigidity compared to the plastic factory component, directly improving handling response and reducing chassis flex during aggressive cornering and acceleration.
• HD#45 Steel Hinge Pin — The hinge pin is manufactured from hardened HD#45 steel, a material specification chosen for its tremendous durability and resistance to bending under extreme loads, providing significantly greater strength than the stock plastic hinge pin and preventing the suspension geometry shift that causes handling inconsistency.
• Universal ARRMA 6S Compatibility — This upgrade fits seamlessly with all ARRMA 6S brushless platforms including Kraton (both BLX and EXB versions including the new V5 and V6 variants), Mojave, Notorious, Typhon, Fireteam, Limitless and the new Talion 6S EXB 1/7 scale model, making it an essential upgrade for anyone running any of these popular high-performance RC cars.
• Direct Stock Part Replacement — Engineered as a drop-in replacement for OEM suspension mount part number ARA330659 and hinge pin part number ARA330658, requiring no modifications to your chassis or other components, allowing for quick and straightforward installation.
• Dual Colour Options — Available in both elegant silver and striking red finishes, allowing you to customise your RC car's appearance whilst upgrading its performance and durability.
• Precision CNC Manufacturing — Every component is manufactured using CNC machinery to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment, consistent performance and longevity that significantly exceeds hand-assembled parts.

Technical Performance

This suspension mount and hinge pin assembly represents a substantial engineering upgrade over the plastic factory components found on stock ARRMA 6S vehicles. The 7075 aluminium alloy used in the suspension mount is the same material specification used in aerospace and high-performance racing applications, offering a tensile strength far exceeding that of injection-moulded plastic. When you're running a brushless 6S ARRMA with the kind of power and torque these vehicles deliver, suspension flex becomes a critical limiting factor in handling precision and steering response. By replacing the compliant plastic upper suspension mounts with rigid CNC-machined aluminium, you eliminate the micro-movements that rob your RC car of sharp, predictable handling characteristics. The HD#45 hardened steel hinge pin provides the final piece of this puzzle, as the hinge pin is the critical pivot point that controls suspension geometry. A bent or worn hinge pin throws off your suspension alignment and causes the vehicle to pull to one side or display erratic handling behaviour. The hardened steel pin is virtually immune to bending and maintains perfect geometry throughout your driving session, ensuring your suspension geometry remains true and your steering input produces the precise response you expect. Together, these two components create a suspension system that responds immediately to driver input, maintains consistent geometry through hard cornering and acceleration, and simply refuses to break even during the most punishment-heavy bashings. The silver and red finish options are both achieved through precision anodising, which not only protects the aluminium from corrosion but also provides a wear-resistant surface that maintains its appearance through seasons of use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this suspension mount fit my specific ARRMA 6S model? — Yes, this VITAVON mount is engineered to fit all ARRMA 6S platforms including Kraton 6S (both BLX and EXB versions), Kraton 6S EXB V5, Kraton 6S EXB V6, Mojave 6S, Notorious 6S, Typhon 6S, Fireteam 6S, Limitless 6S and the new Talion 6S EXB 1/7. It directly replaces OEM part numbers ARA330659 and ARA330658 without any modifications required.
• What is the advantage of upgrading from the stock plastic suspension mount? — The factory plastic upper suspension mounts flex and deflect under the extreme loads generated by 6S brushless motors, which causes inconsistent handling and poor steering response. The CNC-machined 7075 aluminium provides approximately 20 times the rigidity of injection-moulded plastic, resulting in dramatically sharper handling, more predictable cornering, improved braking consistency and better overall control of your vehicle.
• Why is the hinge pin material important? — The hinge pin is the pivot point that controls your suspension geometry. A bent factory hinge pin shifts your suspension alignment and causes handling problems. The HD#45 hardened steel specification resists bending under load and maintains perfect geometry throughout your driving session, ensuring your suspension behaves consistently and your steering feels responsive and accurate.
• Is this component suitable for beginners or just experienced drivers? — This upgrade is suitable for any RC enthusiast from beginner bashers to competitive racers. Beginners benefit from improved durability and fewer breakages, whilst competitive drivers gain handling precision and consistency. It's a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that requires no special tools or knowledge to install.
• How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC tools such as an Allen key or hex wrench set, a screwdriver and perhaps a dead-blow mallet. Simply unbolt the factory plastic mounts, install the new VITAVON components using the supplied fasteners, and you're done. The entire process typically takes 15-20 minutes per side.
• Can I use this with other ARRMA upgrade components? — Yes, the VITAVON suspension mount is engineered to work seamlessly with other performance upgrades. Many customers combine this mount with other VITAVON upgrades such as the CNC front knuckles, hub carriers and bulkheads to create a complete precision-engineered suspension system.
• Is this available in the UK? — Absolutely. RC Model Shop stocks this VITAVON component and can dispatch it quickly to customers throughout the UK, making it easy to upgrade your ARRMA 6S without long international shipping delays.
