Overview
The FTX Crossbow Rear Upper Suspension Arms (Pair) – FTX11023 are genuine OEM replacement components designed specifically for the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy. Whether you're a dedicated racer, a weekend basher, or someone looking to maintain your RC car in peak condition, these rear upper suspension arms are an essential spare part for keeping your model running smoothly on the UK's varied off-road terrain. As a trusted RC car UK retailer, we stock this genuine FTX component to help you restore your Crossbow to factory specifications whenever wear, damage, or impact necessitates replacement.
Manufactured by FTX to exacting quality standards, these suspension arms are crafted from reinforced plastic composite material that combines lightweight properties with exceptional durability. The precision engineering ensures that your Crossbow maintains its original geometry and handling characteristics, whether you're tackling technical trails, racing competitively, or enjoying casual bashing sessions. Direct-fit compatibility with both the FTX5490BL (blue) and FTX5490GN (green) variants means you're getting a part engineered specifically for your model, not a generic alternative.
If you own a brushless RC truggy and want to avoid the frustration of unpredictable handling or additional wear on connected components, investing in quality OEM replacement parts like these suspension arms is the smart choice. 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.
- OEM quality assurance — Backed by FTX's reputation for quality RC components, you're investing in parts that meet the same standards as the original equipment fitted to your Crossbow.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these rear upper suspension arms fit my FTX Crossbow? — Yes, these FTX11023 arms are designed specifically for FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy models, including both the blue (FTX5490BL) and green (FTX5490GN) variants. They are genuine OEM parts that maintain factory geometry and alignment without requiring any modification.
- How do I install these suspension arms on my RC truggy? — Installation is straightforward and requires no modification. Simply remove your existing rear upper suspension arms by unbolting them from the factory mounting positions, then slot the new FTX11023 arms into place and secure them using your existing fasteners. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes, making this an ideal field repair or maintenance item.
- What material are these suspension arms made from? — The FTX11023 rear upper suspension arms are crafted from reinforced plastic composite, a durable material specifically chosen to resist cracking, splitting, and flex under the high-impact stresses of RC bashing and racing. This material provides an excellent balance between weight savings and structural integrity.
- Are these genuine FTX parts or compatible alternatives? — These are genuine OEM FTX parts, not third-party compatible alternatives. This means they meet FTX's quality standards, maintain precise geometry, and carry the reliability you expect from factory-original components.
- Why would I need to replace my rear upper suspension arms? — Suspension arms can be damaged through impact during jumps, collisions, or aggressive bashing. Over time, they may also flex or crack under stress. Replacing them restores your Crossbow's handling predictability and prevents additional wear on connected components like ball joints, chassis, and other suspension parts.
- Do these arms come as a complete pair? — Yes, you receive both the left and right rear upper suspension arms in one purchase, so you can fully restore your rear suspension geometry without needing to order multiple items.
- Can I use these on other FTX models? — These arms are specifically designed for the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy and are not compatible with other FTX models. Always check your model number (FTX5490BL or FTX5490GN) to ensure compatibility.
