Whether you're maintaining your RC buggy UK or need to replace worn suspension parts after intense off-road driving, these front upper suspension arms are engineered to restore your vehicle's handling characteristics and chassis geometry. As a critical part of your buggy's suspension system, these arms work in conjunction with the lower suspension arms and shock absorbers to provide smooth, controlled movement over varied terrain.
These suspension arms are OEM FTX parts manufactured to the same specifications as the original components fitted to new FTX Vantage 2.0 buggy models. Compatible with both the FTX Vantage 2.0 brushed (FTX5533B) and FTX Vantage 2.0 brushless (FTX5561B) electric RC buggies, these parts ensure your vehicle maintains factory-standard suspension geometry and performance. When you need reliable spare parts for your electric RC car, choosing genuine OEM components from an authorised retailer guarantees perfect fitment and long-term reliability.

Whether you're a casual weekend basher or a serious off-road competitor, having quality replacement suspension arms ensures your buggy continues to perform at its best. This pack contains two complete sets of front upper suspension arms, giving you a complete front suspension refresh or allowing you to keep spares on hand for your next track session or outdoor driving adventure.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Parts — These are authentic FTX manufacturing components that meet the exact specifications required for your Vantage 2.0 buggy, ensuring they fit perfectly and perform reliably without any compatibility issues.
- Set of Two Arms — The pack includes two complete suspension arms, which is exactly what you need to replace both sides of the front suspension geometry on your 4WD buggy.
- Designed for Vantage 2.0 Models — These arms are specifically engineered for the FTX Vantage 2.0 range, whether you own the brushed electric version or the more powerful brushless version with enhanced acceleration and responsiveness.
- Critical Suspension Component — Upper suspension arms are vital to controlling the vertical movement of your wheels and maintaining proper suspension travel, affecting how your buggy handles bumps, jumps and high-speed cornering.
- Easy Installation — These replacement arms are straightforward to fit, using standard hinge pins that connect to your chassis and wheel hub carriers, making maintenance and repairs quick and hassle-free.
- Wear and Damage Prevention — Regular suspension component replacement prevents excessive wear that can lead to poor handling, uneven tyre wear and reduced overall performance of your electric RC buggy.
Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage Front Upper Suspension Arms are precision-engineered components manufactured to strict quality standards. These suspension arms form part of the independent double-wishbone suspension system that characterises modern 1/10 scale RC buggies. The arms connect the wheel hub carrier to the chassis, allowing vertical suspension movement whilst maintaining proper wheel alignment angles including camber and track width. Constructed from durable plastic composite material, these arms are designed to flex slightly under stress, absorbing impacts from rough terrain without breaking. The suspension geometry is calculated to provide optimal anti-roll centre height and suspension anti-squat characteristics, which directly influence how your buggy behaves during acceleration, braking and cornering. When replacement becomes necessary after wear, damage from impacts or lost suspension geometry from bent original components, installing genuine FTX arms restores your buggy to its original handling characteristics. The arms feature precisely moulded hinge pin holes that accept standard FTX hinge pins (available separately as FTX6223 — the complete set includes inner and outer hinge pins required for one arm). Proper suspension arm alignment is critical to tyre contact patch and handling performance, making these genuine OEM components essential for maintaining your RC buggy at peak performance levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is included in this FTX Vantage suspension arm pack? — This pack contains two complete front upper suspension arms specifically designed for the FTX Vantage 2.0 buggy. Each arm features the precision hinge pin holes needed to connect your wheel hub carriers to the chassis.
- Which FTX Vantage models are these arms compatible with? — These front upper suspension arms are fully compatible with the FTX Vantage 2.0 brushed (FTX5533B) and FTX Vantage 2.0 brushless (FTX5561B) 1/10 scale electric RC buggies. If you own either of these models, these are the correct replacement arms for your vehicle.
- Why do I need replacement suspension arms? — Suspension arms can become worn, bent or cracked through normal use, impacts with obstacles or jumping. Over time, wear reduces your buggy's handling precision and can cause uneven tyre wear. Replacing them with genuine OEM parts restores your vehicle's original performance characteristics.
- How difficult is it to install these suspension arms? — Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. The arms connect via standard hinge pins to your chassis and wheel hub carriers. You will need the appropriate hinge pins (sold separately) if you don't already have them.
- Do I need any other parts to complete the suspension refresh? — Depending on the condition of your buggy, you may also want to consider the FTX Vantage Front Lower Suspension Arms (FTX6218) and hinge pins (FTX6223) to ensure a complete front suspension rebuild with all new components.
- What makes genuine FTX parts better than generic alternatives? — Genuine FTX parts are engineered to exact factory specifications, ensuring perfect fitment, durability and performance. OEM parts maintain your buggy's handling geometry and suspension characteristics, whereas inferior alternatives may cause handling problems or premature failure.
