With no modification required and straightforward installation using factory mounting positions, swapping out damaged or worn suspension arms takes minutes rather than hours, getting you back out on the track or trail quickly.

Key Features

• Direct-fit OEM replacement — These arms are genuine FTX parts engineered to match your Crossbow's original suspension geometry exactly, meaning no guesswork, no modifications, and perfect alignment straight from the box.
• Durable reinforced plastic construction — Built from high-impact reinforced plastic composite, these arms resist cracking, splitting, and flex under the extreme stresses of jumping, landing, and rough terrain driving that's common with RC bashers.
• Compatible with both colour variants — Whether you own the FTX5490BL blue or FTX5490GN green Crossbow Brushless Truggy, these arms fit perfectly without any variation or compatibility issues.
• Preserves factory alignment and camber — The geometry of these suspension arms maintains the correct rear camber angle and roll centre, delivering the balanced cornering and consistent rear-end behaviour that FTX engineered into your model.
• No modification needed — These bolt directly into the factory mounting positions using your existing fasteners, making installation swift and accessible even for less experienced modellers.
• Pair included — You receive both left and right rear upper suspension arms, giving you everything needed to fully restore rear suspension geometry in one purchase.
• Ideal for both repair and preventative maintenance — Use these to repair impact damage, replace worn components, or upgrade your suspension system to maintain consistent performance across multiple sessions.

Technical Performance

The FTX11023 rear upper suspension arms represent precision engineering in reinforced plastic composite design. These components are manufactured to maintain the exact suspension geometry required for optimal performance on your FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy. The reinforced plastic material offers an excellent balance between weight and strength, resisting the high-impact forces generated during jumps, landings, and aggressive cornering that are typical in RC truggy driving. The arms are moulded in black to match OEM styling and are designed to work seamlessly with your Crossbow's existing suspension setup, including compatibility with both FTX5490BL and FTX5490GN models. Installation uses factory mounting positions and requires no modification to your vehicle, meaning you can swap components using standard RC tools and fasteners. The geometry preservation ensures that camber angles, roll centre, and suspension travel remain consistent with FTX's original design specifications, which is critical for maintaining predictable handling characteristics across varied terrain. Whether you're running on hard-packed desert, clay, grass, or technical rocky ground, these suspension arms provide the structural integrity needed to support your model's performance without flex or deflection that could compromise cornering precision or stability during high-speed runs.
