FTX Tracer Rear Upper Suspension Arms Steering Servo Links 1/16 FTX9708

Overview

The FTX Tracer Rear Upper Suspension Arms, Steering and Servo Links (FTX9708) are essential replacement parts for owners of the FTX Tracer 1/16 scale RC monster truck and truggy models. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast enjoying competitive racing or a weekend basher pushing your vehicle to its limits, having quality spare suspension components on hand is crucial for maintaining peak performance and keeping your RC car UK-ready for action. These precision-engineered suspension arms are designed to work seamlessly with the FTX Tracer platform, ensuring your vehicle maintains optimal handling characteristics and responsive steering control.

The FTX Tracer series has earned its reputation as one of the most capable 1/16 scale ready to run RC vehicles available to UK hobbyists, delivering exceptional off-road performance and durability. The rear upper suspension arms, steering links and servo links are critical components that connect your suspension geometry to the steering servo and chassis, directly affecting how your vehicle handles corners, navigates rough terrain and responds to driver input. When these components wear out or become damaged during intense use, replacing them with genuine FTX OEM parts ensures your Tracer maintains factory-spec performance and reliability.

Stocking genuine FTX spare parts means you can keep your RC monster truck or truggy in peak condition without waiting for replacements. The FTX Tracer range includes both the traditional monster truck variant and the lower-profile truggy configuration, and these suspension links are compatible across multiple colour variants and specifications, making them a versatile addition to any Tracer owner's spares box.

Key Features

• OEM Quality Components — These are genuine FTX factory parts manufactured to original equipment manufacturer specifications, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your FTX Tracer without modification or adjustment required.
• Rear Upper Suspension Geometry — The rear upper suspension arms form a critical part of your vehicle's suspension triangle, directly influencing anti-squat characteristics, ride height and overall suspension behaviour during acceleration and braking, which is why maintaining genuine replacement parts preserves the carefully engineered suspension geometry.
• Integrated Steering and Servo Linkages — These components combine the rear suspension upper arms with the steering and servo link points, meaning a single replacement part addresses multiple connection points and ensures all steering inputs are transmitted accurately to the wheels without bind or play.
• Compatibility with Multiple Tracer Variants — Whether you own the FTX Tracer monster truck in orange, red or blue, or you prefer the truggy configuration in any available colour, or if you've upgraded to the brushless 1/16 4WD Tracer model, these rear upper suspension arms fit seamlessly across the entire Tracer platform.
• Essential Maintenance Component — During regular use, suspension links experience constant articulation and stress, especially on rough terrain typical of UK off-road RC racing and bashing environments, making replacement links a practical investment in ongoing vehicle reliability and performance.
• Direct Fit Replacement — No modification, drilling or adjustment needed — simply remove worn components and install these OEM parts to restore your vehicle to factory specification in minutes, keeping you racing rather than troubleshooting.

Technical Performance

The FTX Tracer Rear Upper Suspension Arms, Steering and Servo Links represent precision engineering designed for the demanding 1/16 scale RC market. These components are manufactured to tight tolerances that ensure perfect alignment with your Tracer's suspension geometry, maintaining the critical angles and measurements that FTX engineers optimised for the vehicle's handling characteristics. The rear suspension mounting points, steering linkage connections and servo attachment points are all integrated into this single assembly, reducing the number of individual components while maintaining structural rigidity. The materials used in FTX OEM parts are selected specifically for durability under the constant stress of off-road driving, rapid directional changes and the impact forces encountered when navigating rocky terrain, water crossings and high-speed jumps typical of RC monster truck and truggy use. Whether your FTX Tracer is powered by a brushless motor running on 3S LiPo batteries or the standard brushed motor configuration, these suspension arms maintain consistent performance across the entire operating range. The precision engineering ensures that steering response remains crisp and predictable, and suspension articulation remains smooth across full range of motion, whether you're rock crawling at low speeds or racing across open ground at high velocity. Regular inspection and replacement of suspension components like these is part of responsible RC ownership, as worn or damaged arms can lead to unpredictable handling, uneven tyre wear and potential loss of control during demanding driving.

• How often should I replace suspension arms on my RC monster truck? — Suspension components like these upper arms experience continuous stress during operation and should be inspected regularly for cracks, bending or excessive play. Heavy use in rocky terrain, frequent high-speed impacts or competitive racing may require replacement every few months, whilst casual weekend bashing might allow longer intervals. Keeping a spare set on hand ensures you're never sidelined waiting for replacement parts.
• Are these suspension arms suitable for both the FTX Tracer monster truck and truggy? — Yes, these rear upper suspension arms are designed to work across both platform variants. The monster truck and truggy configurations share the same basic suspension architecture, meaning these OEM parts maintain compatibility across both vehicle types regardless of colour or motor specification.
• Can I use aftermarket suspension arms instead of genuine FTX parts? — Whilst aftermarket alternatives may exist, using genuine OEM FTX9708 parts ensures your vehicle maintains factory-spec geometry, handling characteristics and performance. Aftermarket components may have different material properties, slightly different dimensions or inferior durability, potentially affecting your Tracer's handling unpredictably.
• Do these suspension arms require any assembly or modification? — No, the FTX9708 rear upper suspension arms come ready to install as a direct replacement. Simply remove your worn or damaged arms and install the new OEM parts without any drilling, cutting, modification or special tools required.
• What is the material composition of these suspension links? — FTX manufactures these suspension components from durable composite and metal materials engineered to withstand the stresses of RC off-road use, impact loading and constant articulation cycles typical of monster truck and truggy operation.
