Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Rear Hub Carriers are precision-engineered suspension components that form the critical link between your vehicle's wheel hubs and its suspension arms. These carriers must withstand significant lateral and vertical forces during acceleration, cornering and over obstacles, which is why FTX manufactures them to tight tolerances using materials selected for their combination of strength and light weight. The design of the hub carriers directly influences the suspension's ability to maintain proper wheel alignment throughout the vehicle's travel range, which in turn affects handling balance, tyre wear patterns and overall performance. For 1/16 scale RC monster trucks and truggies like the FTX Tracer, maintaining correct suspension geometry is essential for predictable handling during high-speed runs and technical rock crawling sections. These rear hub carriers represent genuine OEM quality, delivering the same engineering and manufacturing standards as the original equipment fitted to new FTX Tracer vehicles. The pair format allows for easy maintenance and repair, whether you're replacing worn components or building a comprehensive spares inventory for your RC collection.
