Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger Upper Suspension Arm represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of 1/10 scale on-road street RC cars. As a suspension component, this arm plays a critical role in maintaining proper wheel alignment, managing camber and caster angles, and translating suspension input through the shock absorbers to deliver responsive handling. The arm is engineered to work in perfect harmony with FTX's suspension geometry across both the brushed and brushless versions of the Stinger and EVO30 models. Build quality is paramount in suspension components, as any flex, wear, or damage directly translates to unpredictable handling, tyre wear issues, and reduced cornering performance. This genuine FTX part is manufactured using materials and construction methods that match the original components fitted to new vehicles, ensuring your suspension maintains its intended performance characteristics and your RC street car handles as the engineers designed it to.
