FTX Crossbow Front Upper Suspension Arms Pair 1/10 Scale OEM FTX11020

Overview

The FTX Crossbow Front Upper Suspension Arms (Pair) – FTX11020 are genuine OEM spare parts designed specifically for the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy, one of the most popular 1/10 scale RC truggy trucks available to UK enthusiasts. Whether you're running the blue (FTX5490BL) or green (FTX5490GN) variant, these front upper suspension arms are precision-engineered to restore factory-standard geometry and steering response to your RC car. These components are essential wear-and-tear items that every serious RC driver should keep on hand, particularly if you regularly bash your truggy off-road or compete in local RC racing events across the UK.

If you've noticed your FTX Crossbow developing imprecise steering, excessive body roll, or unstable handling characteristics, the front upper suspension arms are often the culprit. Impact damage, stress cracks, or chronic bending from hard landings can compromise these critical chassis components, leading to poor camber geometry and unreliable front-end control. The FTX11020 replacement arms are manufactured to identical specifications as the original factory parts, ensuring that bolt-on installation requires no modifications, alignment tweaks, or fabrication work. Simply remove your damaged arms and fit the new pair using your model's existing hinge pins and fasteners for immediate restoration of correct suspension geometry.

Stocked by leading UK RC hobby retailers and backed by FTX's reputation for quality spare parts, the Crossbow Front Upper Suspension Arms offer exceptional value and reliability. Whether you're repairing post-crash damage from a hard landing, performing routine preventative maintenance, or building a spare parts collection for competition use, this pair of front upper arms is an essential addition to your RC toolbox. Keep your brushless truggy running at peak performance by replacing worn or damaged suspension components with genuine FTX OEM parts today.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM FTX Spare Part — These arms are manufactured to the exact same specifications as the original factory components fitted to new FTX Crossbow trucks, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and performance without any compromise on build quality or durability.
• Universal Pair Fitment — The set includes both left and right front upper suspension arms, allowing you to replace the entire front suspension geometry in a single purchase rather than buying individual components separately.
• Compatible with Both Crossbow Colour Variants — These arms fit both the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy in blue (FTX5490BL) and green (FTX5490GN), making them the perfect universal spare part for any Crossbow owner regardless of which colour variant you own.
• Reinforced Plastic Composite Construction — Manufactured from durable reinforced plastic composite material engineered to withstand the rigours of off-road RC driving, providing excellent impact resistance and longevity under demanding conditions.
• Maintains Precise Camber and Roll Centre Geometry — Correct suspension geometry is critical to steering response and handling stability, and these factory-specification arms ensure your Crossbow maintains the optimal camber angle and roll centre for predictable cornering and precision control.
• Simple Bolt-On Installation — Installation requires no trimming, fabrication, or alignment work; simply remove the damaged arms and fit the new pair using your model's original hinge pins and fasteners, with everything slotting directly into place thanks to exact OEM form-factor design.
• Standard Black Finish — The arms feature the standard black finish used on original Crossbow factory parts, maintaining the aesthetic continuity of your RC truggy whilst delivering authentic OEM performance.
• Official FTX-Branded Packaging — Supplied in official FTX-branded parts packaging, confirming authenticity and protecting the components during storage and transit.

Technical Performance

The FTX Crossbow Front Upper Suspension Arms are engineered with precision tolerances to match the exact specifications of the original factory components. Manufactured from reinforced plastic composite material, these arms combine lightweight construction with excellent impact resistance, a critical requirement for any 1/10 scale RC truggy that regularly experiences hard landings and rough off-road terrain. The reinforced plastic composite construction offers superior durability compared to standard plastic whilst remaining lighter than metal alternatives, striking the optimal balance between strength and performance. The arms are precision-moulded to factory specifications, ensuring that every dimension, radius, and mounting point matches the original factory design perfectly. This level of engineering precision means that installation is straightforward and requires no adjustment or modification; the new arms simply bolt directly into place using your existing hinge pins and fasteners. Front upper suspension arms play a vital role in maintaining correct camber angle and roll centre geometry, both of which are essential to steering response, cornering stability, and overall handling predictability. When these arms become damaged, bent, or cracked—a common occurrence after heavy impacts or repeated bashing sessions—your Crossbow's suspension geometry becomes compromised, leading to vague steering inputs and reduced confidence in your RC car's handling characteristics. By replacing damaged arms with genuine FTX OEM parts, you restore factory-standard suspension geometry and return your truggy to peak performance capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these arms compatible with my FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy? — Yes, the FTX11020 front upper suspension arms are designed specifically for the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy and fit both the blue (FTX5490BL) and green (FTX5490GN) colour variants without any compatibility issues.
• Do I need to modify or trim these arms during installation? — No, these arms require absolutely no modification, trimming, or fabrication. They are manufactured to exact OEM specifications and bolt directly into place using your model's original hinge pins and fasteners, making installation quick and straightforward for any RC enthusiast.
• What is the material composition of these suspension arms? — The arms are manufactured from reinforced plastic composite material, engineered to provide an excellent balance of lightweight construction, durability, and impact resistance for demanding off-road RC driving conditions.
• How do I know when my suspension arms need replacing? — Common signs of damaged or worn suspension arms include imprecise or vague steering response, excessive body roll during cornering, visible cracks or stress marks on the plastic, or noticeable bending that affects camber geometry. If you experience any of these symptoms after a hard landing or crash, it's time to inspect and potentially replace your front upper suspension arms.
• Can I use just one arm or do I need to replace both? — Whilst you can technically replace just one arm if only one side is damaged, best practice is to replace both arms as a pair to ensure perfectly symmetrical suspension geometry across both sides of your Crossbow. This guarantees consistent handling characteristics and optimal steering response.
• Will replacing these arms improve my Crossbow's performance? — If your original arms are damaged, bent, or worn, replacing them with these genuine FTX OEM parts will restore your Crossbow's handling to factory specifications, improving steering response, cornering stability, and overall predictability. However, if your original arms are in good condition, the replacement arms will maintain rather than improve current performance levels.
• Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM FTX spare parts, manufactured to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the original factory components. This guarantees perfect compatibility and performance without any compromise on build quality or durability.
