Overview
The FTX Rokatan Rear Hub Carrier (FTX10121) is an essential suspension component designed for builders and enthusiasts maintaining their FTX RC vehicles. This precision-engineered spare part plays a critical role in the rear suspension assembly of multiple FTX models, providing a sturdy mounting point for the rear hub and wheel assembly. Whether you're restoring a damaged vehicle, upgrading worn components, or building a custom RC car from scratch, this rear hub carrier is a fundamental part of any serious RC mechanic's spares collection. Based in the UK, RC Model Shop stocks this genuine FTX component to keep your RC model running at peak performance.
The rear hub carrier serves as the connecting link between your suspension arms and the rear wheel axle assembly. It's one of those components that rarely gets attention until it needs replacement, but when it does fail or wear, having a quality OEM replacement on hand is essential for getting back on the track or trail. This is a direct replacement part that maintains the original geometry and performance characteristics of your FTX Rokatan or compatible models, ensuring your suspension setup remains true and responsive through every corner and jump.
FTX has engineered this component to work seamlessly with the Rokatan's suspension design, and it's also compatible with several other FTX models including the Apache 2.0, Crossbow, and Ramraider ranges. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking for reliable spare parts that maintain factory specifications and build quality, the FTX Rokatan Rear Hub Carrier represents excellent value and peace of mind.

- Direct Replacement Fit — Designed specifically for the FTX Rokatan chassis and compatible with the Apache 2.0, Crossbow, and Ramraider models, ensuring perfect fitment without modification or adjustment required.
- Suspension Geometry Maintained — The rear hub carrier preserves the original suspension geometry and handling characteristics of your RC model, critical for consistent performance and predictable handling on any terrain.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the stresses and impacts of serious RC driving, whether you're racing on-road tracks, bashing through rough terrain, or tackling challenging technical courses.

Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Rear Hub Carrier is engineered as a precision suspension component that interfaces with the rear suspension arms and rear wheel axle assembly. As a structural suspension part, it must maintain exact dimensional tolerances to ensure proper wheel alignment and suspension geometry. The component is manufactured to OEM specifications by FTX, the recognised RC vehicle manufacturer, ensuring compatibility with their suspension design philosophy. This rear hub carrier is part of the broader Rokatan chassis system, which represents a mid-scale, capable RC platform suitable for diverse driving scenarios. The carrier works in conjunction with suspension arms, shock towers, and the rear wheel axle (FTX10138) to create a responsive, durable suspension system. For builders customising their FTX RC models, this component can be paired with aluminium upgrades such as the FTX Rokatan/Ramraider/Apache Aluminium Rear Hub Carriers for increased strength and reduced weight, though the standard component provides excellent performance for most drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models is the FTX10121 Rear Hub Carrier compatible with? — This rear hub carrier is designed as a direct replacement for the FTX Rokatan and is also compatible with multiple other FTX platforms including the FTX Apache 2.0 Trophy Trucks (available in Red and Blue brushless versions), FTX Crossbow Truggy models (Green and Blue brushless versions), and FTX Ramraider Monster Trucks (available in brushed editions in blue and orange, plus brushless editions in red/blue and green/blue configurations). This wide compatibility makes it a valuable spare part for enthusiasts running any of these FTX models.
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket component? — This is a genuine OEM FTX component manufactured to factory specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining your vehicle's original performance characteristics. It carries the official FTX model number FTX10121 and is the authentic replacement part for your Rokatan or compatible FTX model.
- What is the difference between the standard plastic hub carrier and the aluminium upgrade? — FTX offers an aluminium upgrade option (FTX10096 Aluminium Rear Hub Carriers) which provides increased durability and reduced weight compared to the standard component. The aluminium version is particularly popular with drivers who bash hard or who want to reduce unsprung mass for improved suspension response. The standard plastic carrier offers excellent performance and value for most recreational and competitive drivers.
- Can I install this myself, or do I need a mechanic? — The FTX Rokatan Rear Hub Carrier is a relatively straightforward component to install if you have basic RC building skills and the correct fasteners. The part interfaces with your rear suspension arms and rear wheel axle using standard M3 screws. Most experienced RC builders can complete installation in under 15 minutes. If you're new to RC building or feel uncertain, RC Model Shop's team of experienced RC enthusiasts can provide guidance and support.
- Is the rear hub carrier essential, or can I continue driving with damage? — The rear hub carrier is a critical structural suspension component that directly affects wheel alignment, suspension geometry, and overall handling. Driving with a damaged or cracked hub carrier can result in poor handling characteristics, uneven tyre wear, and potential catastrophic failure during aggressive driving. It's recommended to replace this component as soon as any damage is detected to maintain safe, predictable handling.
