FTX Crossbow Rear Lower Suspension Arms Pair for 1/10 Brushless RC Truggy FTX11022

Overview

The FTX Crossbow Rear Lower Suspension Arms (Pair) – FTX11022 are genuine OEM replacement parts designed to restore the suspension setup and handling balance of your FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast running a brushless RC truck or a weekend basher tackling challenging terrain, maintaining your suspension geometry is critical to consistent performance. These replacement arms fit both the blue (FTX5490BL) and green (FTX5490GN) variants of the FTX Crossbow, offering a precise and durable solution when original arms are worn, bent, or damaged.

Rear lower suspension arms play a crucial role in the stability and control of any RC truggy, especially when you're pushing your brushless RC car hard through jumps, corners, and uneven terrain. When these parts get bent or cracked, handling suffers immediately, shock travel becomes uneven, and your vehicle loses the precision alignment it needs for competitive performance or weekend fun. The FTX11022 replacement arms are moulded to exact factory specifications and deliver reliable strength for rugged off-road use, delivering the performance you expect from a trusted UK RC retailer's stock.

As an authorised FTX dealer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine FTX Crossbow parts that meet the demanding standards of the RC hobby community. The FTX11022 rear lower suspension arms represent an affordable, high-value way to keep your Crossbow running true. Installation is fast and straightforward, requiring no modification or special tools – simply remove your old arms, transfer your existing screws and hinge pins, and fit the new parts. These components are backed by FTX's reputation for quality RC parts and are readily available through top hobby retailers across the UK.

Technical Performance

The rear lower suspension arms connect your FTX Crossbow's rear hubs directly to the chassis via precision pivot points and shock mounts, forming the backbone of your truggy's suspension geometry. When existing arms start to sag, flex under pressure, or show visible damage, they compromise your vehicle's ability to maintain consistent handling and shock travel across both sides of the rear axle. The FTX11022 rear lower suspension arms are engineered from reinforced plastic composite material selected for its strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance, making them suitable for high-speed off-road running, landing jumps, and driving over rocks, roots, and rough ground. The manufacturing process ensures each arm is moulded to the precise geometry required by the FTX Crossbow platform, maintaining correct camber angles and suspension travel limits. By replacing worn or damaged arms with this genuine OEM pair, you restore your brushless RC truggy's ability to hold its intended line through technical sections, absorb impacts evenly on both sides, and deliver the predictable, responsive handling that makes RC driving rewarding. Installation is straightforward – no cutting, trimming, or modification of existing components is required, and the parts align perfectly with your vehicle's original geometry using factory mounting hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these rear lower suspension arms fit my FTX Crossbow? — Yes, the FTX11022 is designed specifically for the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy and fits both the blue (FTX5490BL) and green (FTX5490GN) variants without any modification required. They bolt directly onto your existing mounting points using your original screws and hinge pins, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment.
• What material are these suspension arms made from? — The FTX11022 rear lower suspension arms are manufactured from tough, reinforced plastic composite that is engineered to be impact-resistant and capable of withstanding the demands of off-road RC use, jumps, and rough terrain without flexing or cracking under normal driving conditions.
• How long do suspension arms typically last? — The lifespan of suspension arms depends on your driving style and the terrain you tackle. Aggressive bashing over rocks, high-speed landings from jumps, and crash impacts will wear arms faster than casual club running. Many RC enthusiasts carry spare arms as part of their maintenance kit to minimise downtime after crashes.
• Is installation difficult? — No, installation is very straightforward and requires no specialist tools or knowledge. Simply remove your old arms by unbolting them from the rear hubs and chassis, transfer your existing screws and hinge pins to the new FTX11022 arms, and bolt them into place. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes, and no cutting, trimming, or adjustment is necessary because these are genuine OEM parts moulded to exact factory specifications.
• Can I use just one arm or do I need to replace both? — For optimal handling and suspension geometry, you should always replace both the left and right rear lower arms at the same time. This pair is sold together precisely because replacing both arms simultaneously ensures your suspension is balanced and operates at the correct angles on both sides of your FTX Crossbow.
• Are these arms suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — The FTX11022 rear lower suspension arms are genuine OEM parts manufactured to factory specifications, making them suitable for both competitive club racing and casual weekend bashing. They restore your Crossbow to its original suspension geometry, delivering the precise handling you need in either environment.
• What should I do if one of my arms cracks or bends? — If your rear lower suspension arm becomes cracked, bent, or flexed, it will degrade your handling and shock travel consistency. The best solution is to replace both arms with this FTX11022 pair, which restores your suspension to full factory specifications and ensures even handling across both sides of the rear axle.
