Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS F/R Triangle, Battery Cap & Strap assembly represents essential engineering for maintaining optimal performance in your 1/10th scale brushless rally car. The triangle components form the backbone of the suspension geometry, controlling the relationship between the chassis, wheels, and suspension travel. At 96mm, this configuration is precisely calculated for the MK2RS platform to deliver the correct anti-squat geometry, roll centre height, and camber characteristics that make FTX rally cars renowned for their handling precision. The use of high-quality materials ensures the triangles remain rigid under the stresses of cornering, acceleration, and deceleration whilst maintaining the suspension geometry that directly influences traction and stability. The integrated battery cap and 96mm strap provide secure retention for standard LiPo battery packs commonly used in 1/10th scale electric RC vehicles, preventing battery sag during hard cornering and ensuring consistent weight distribution throughout your driving session. Whether you're upgrading an existing rally car or replacing worn components, this assembly will restore your MK2RS to factory specifications and ensure it performs as intended by FTX's engineering team.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the F/R triangle and why do I need it for my FTX Rally MK2RS? — The F/R triangle is a critical suspension component that controls the geometry and movement of your rally car's wheels. It maintains proper camber, anti-squat angles, and roll centre characteristics essential for precise handling on rally tracks and rough terrain. If your triangles are bent, cracked, or damaged, your vehicle's handling will suffer significantly. Replacing them with genuine FTX parts restores your rally car to factory specifications.
- Is this suitable for beginners working on RC cars for the first time? — Yes, this is an ideal component for anyone owning or maintaining an FTX MK2RS. As a straightforward replacement part with no special tools or technical knowledge required, it's suitable for beginners learning basic RC car maintenance and repair. Following the FTX service manual will guide you through proper installation.
- Will this battery cap and strap work with my existing LiPo batteries? — This 96mm battery cap and strap assembly is specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS and accommodates standard 2S or 3S LiPo batteries commonly used in 1/10th scale electric RC cars. It provides secure retention whilst allowing easy battery access for charging and maintenance.
- What is the difference between the 96mm specification and other triangle sizes? — The 96mm measurement refers to the specific length and geometry optimised for the FTX MK2RS platform. Using the correct specification ensures proper suspension geometry, handling characteristics, and compatibility. Other FTX models may use different dimensions, so always verify you're ordering the correct part for your specific vehicle.
- Can I use this on other FTX rally cars or models? — This triangle assembly is specifically engineered for the FTX Rally MK2RS and its variants (Black FTX5470BK and White FTX5470W). Whilst other FTX rally models exist, each platform uses geometry optimised for that specific design. Always check your vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- How often should I replace my triangle components? — Under normal conditions, quality triangle components last a long time. However, if you've crashed your rally car, notice changes in handling, or see visible cracks or bends in the triangles, replacement is necessary. Regular inspection as part of your post-run maintenance routine will help you identify wear early.
