Technical Performance
The FTX Havok suspension system represents a carefully balanced engineering solution specifically optimised for 1/14th scale drift racing. Upper suspension arms play a fundamental role in determining how your RC car's chassis responds to cornering forces, braking and acceleration. These arms maintain the correct angles between your wheels and chassis, which directly affects anti-squat geometry, anti-dive characteristics, and overall handling balance. The FTX Havok platform has earned recognition in the UK RC community for its exceptional drift characteristics, and this reputation is built on precision engineering throughout the suspension system. When replacing your upper suspension arms, using the genuine FTX10603 components ensures that you're restoring your model to its factory engineering specifications. The arms work in conjunction with other suspension components including the lower suspension arms (FTX10604 front, FTX10605 rear), shock absorbers (FTX10626), and the main chassis (FTX10600) to create a suspension system that delivers responsive steering, predictable handling under load, and the geometric precision required for drift competitions or casual track days. The complete FTX Havok spares range includes dozens of components to support every aspect of your model's performance and reliability, making genuine FTX parts your best choice for maintaining your investment.
