Technical Performance
These FTX Steel Rear Suspension Mount Plates are engineered to handle the demands of high-performance 1/10 scale RC driving. The steel construction provides exceptional rigidity and strength compared to plastic alternatives, which is critical in a suspension system that must transfer forces from the chassis to the wheels whilst maintaining precise geometry. FTX's reputation in the RC hobby has been built on delivering quality components that withstand the rigours of off-road bashers, and these suspension mounts exemplify that commitment. The updated FTX10142N iteration incorporates design refinements to improve longevity and reliability. Whether you're piloting a brushless RC monster truck at competitive speeds or enjoying leisurely drives around your garden, a properly maintained suspension system with quality components like these ensures your vehicle responds predictably and maintains optimal handling characteristics. The precision-engineered mounting points ensure your suspension geometry remains true, which is essential for achieving consistent lap times at the track or enjoying smooth, controlled performance during weekend basher sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these FTX10142N plates fit my RamRaider monster truck? — Yes, these steel rear suspension mount plates are specifically designed as a direct replacement for FTX RamRaider 1/10 monster trucks, as well as FTX Rokatan models. They are compatible with both brushed and brushless editions of these vehicles, including the FTX5499SB, FTX5499OB, FTX5497RB and FTX5497GB models.
- Are these an upgrade from the original FTX10142? — Absolutely. The FTX10142N is an updated version of the FTX10142, featuring refined engineering and improved durability. It serves as a direct replacement and incorporates design enhancements for better long-term reliability and performance.
- Why choose steel suspension mounts over plastic? — Steel offers significantly greater strength and durability than plastic components. If you're a serious RC enthusiast who regularly drives your ready to run RC monster truck or runs it at the track, steel suspension mounts resist damage better, maintain their geometry longer, and ultimately provide superior value by requiring replacement less frequently than plastic alternatives.
- Do I need any tools or expertise to fit these plates? — These are direct replacement components, so if you're comfortable performing basic RC maintenance and have standard hobby tools, you should be able to fit them yourself. However, if you're uncertain, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance and support.
- What is the difference between the Rokatan and RamRaider models these fit? — Both the FTX Rokatan and FTX RamRaider are 1/10 scale monster trucks in the FTX lineup. The RamRaider is available in both brushed and brushless editions, while these suspension plates are engineered to fit both vehicle types, making them versatile spare parts for FTX monster truck owners.
- How often should I replace suspension mount plates? — The lifespan depends on your driving style and frequency. Heavy bashing and competitive driving may require more frequent inspection and replacement, whilst casual recreational driving extends component life. Steel plates like these last considerably longer than plastic equivalents, making them a smart investment for regular RC car UK users.
