Overview
The FTX Rokatan Rear Lower Suspension Arm (pr) is an essential replacement component for RC enthusiasts who own compatible FTX models. This suspension arm is a critical part of your RC car's rear suspension geometry, responsible for maintaining proper wheel alignment and suspension performance during off-road driving. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK hobbyist or new to the world of electric RC cars, having quality suspension components is vital for consistent handling and durability. The rear lower suspension arms work in tandem with your vehicle's upper arms and shock absorbers to deliver smooth suspension action over rough terrain.
As a dedicated spare part for FTX vehicles, this component has been engineered to meet the demanding requirements of RC off-road driving. If you've experienced suspension damage, worn components, or simply want to upgrade your existing setup, this rear lower suspension arm (pair) offers a cost-effective solution to get your ready to run RC car back to peak performance. FTX has built a reputation for delivering quality spare parts that maintain the value and reliability of their extensive range of brushless RC trucks and crawlers.
This product comes as a pair, meaning you receive both left and right rear lower suspension arms in a single purchase. This is ideal for users who need to replace both sides simultaneously or want to maintain a spare set for competitive driving or weekend bashing sessions. The competitive pricing makes this an accessible upgrade for any RC enthusiast looking to maintain their vehicle in top condition.
Key Features
- Pair Configuration — This package includes both left and right rear lower suspension arms, eliminating the need to purchase separate components and ensuring perfectly matched geometry on both sides of your RC vehicle.
- OEM Quality Construction — Manufactured by FTX as an original equipment component, these suspension arms maintain the exact specifications and fit of your original parts, ensuring proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics remain consistent.
- Direct Model Compatibility — These rear lower suspension arms are specifically engineered to fit multiple FTX monster truck and off-road models, including the FTX Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck and FTX Ramraider monster truck variants in both brushed and brushless editions.
- Essential Suspension Component — The lower suspension arm is a critical structural element that connects the wheel hub to the chassis, directly affecting wheel alignment, suspension travel, and overall vehicle handling on rough terrain.
- Replacement Spare Option — Whether replacing damaged components from high-impact driving or upgrading a used vehicle, this spare part restores your RC car to factory specifications at a fraction of the cost of a complete rebuild.
- Aluminium Upgrade Available — For users seeking enhanced durability and adjustability, FTX offers an optional aluminium upgrade version of this component, providing a premium alternative to the standard plastic arms for competitive driving or demanding conditions.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Rear Lower Suspension Arm represents quality engineering in suspension geometry for RC off-road vehicles. These components are manufactured to precision tolerances that maintain the exact suspension kinematics required for proper handling in brushless 4WD monster trucks and crawler-style vehicles. The rear lower suspension arms work in conjunction with the upper suspension arms, shock absorbers, and anti-roll bar system to create a complete suspension package that delivers responsive handling over varied terrain. The design has been tested across the full FTX range of vehicles, ensuring compatibility with the Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck in both blue and red variants, as well as the Ramraider monster truck platform available in brushed and brushless motor configurations. The suspension geometry provided by these lower arms contributes to maintaining proper wheel camber and toe-in settings, which directly impacts steering response, tyre wear characteristics, and traction during acceleration and cornering. For RC enthusiasts running their vehicles frequently on rough off-road terrain or competing in organised RC events, maintaining suspension components in factory condition is essential for predictable handling and protecting other drivetrain components from excessive stress caused by misalignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models are compatible with the Rokatan Rear Lower Suspension Arm? — These rear lower suspension arms are designed for use with the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 brushless trophy truck (available in blue and red), and the FTX Ramraider 1/10 monster truck platform, which includes both brushed and brushless versions in various colour options.
- Why would I need to replace the rear lower suspension arms on my RC car? — Suspension arms can become damaged through high-impact driving, collisions, or regular wear and tear from extended use on rough terrain. Worn or damaged arms compromise suspension geometry, leading to poor handling, uneven tyre wear, and potential damage to other components. Replacement arms restore your vehicle to factory specifications.
- Do I need to replace both suspension arms at the same time? — It is highly recommended to replace suspension arms in pairs (both left and right) to maintain identical suspension geometry on both sides of the vehicle, ensuring consistent handling characteristics and predictable steering response.
- What is the difference between the standard plastic suspension arm and the aluminium upgrade option? — The standard FTX10118 component offers reliable performance at an economical price point, whilst the optional aluminium upgrade provides enhanced durability, improved adjustability for suspension tuning, and reduced flex during aggressive driving, making it preferred for competitive use and extreme conditions.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are original FTX manufactured components designed specifically for their vehicles. They come from authorised retailers and carry the official FTX product designation FTX10118 with the EAN code 5056135750131.
- Will this work with my ready to run FTX RC car? — These suspension arms are designed as replacement spares for compatible ready to run RC vehicles in the FTX range, specifically the Apache 2.0 and Ramraider monster truck models, both of which are available as complete ready to run kits.
