Overview
The FTX Outlaw/Kanyon Rear Axle Housing to Chassis Link Set (2) FTX8313 is an essential spare part for owners of FTX's popular 1/10 scale trail crawlers and ultra-4 buggies. This replacement component set consists of two rear axle housing to chassis link assemblies, designed to maintain the structural integrity and handling characteristics of your RC vehicle. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or a hobbyist who enjoys bashing and trail driving, having quality spare parts on hand ensures your rig stays in peak condition and ready for action.
These rear axle chassis links play a critical role in the suspension geometry and overall stability of your FTX Outlaw or Kanyon 4x4, connecting the rear axle housing to the main chassis structure. Over time, through aggressive driving, impacts, or normal wear and tear, these components may require replacement to maintain optimal handling and prevent unwanted flex or movement in the rear axle assembly. The FTX8313 provides genuine OEM replacement parts that ensure compatibility and performance matching the original specifications of your vehicle.
For RC car enthusiasts in the UK looking for reliable ready-to-run RC vehicles, FTX has built a reputation for offering excellent value without compromising on quality. This spare parts set exemplifies that commitment, offering a cost-effective solution for maintaining your investment and keeping your RC buggy or crawler performing at its best for years to come.

Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw/Kanyon Rear Axle Housing to Chassis Link Set represents precision engineering tailored specifically for 1/10 scale crawlers and ultra-4 buggies. These links form a critical part of the suspension mounting system, directly influencing how the rear axle articulates and maintains alignment during climbing, descending, and cornering. The design ensures that the rear axle housing remains properly positioned relative to the chassis, preventing excessive binding or unwanted movement that could result in poor handling, premature tyre wear, or component damage. Built from quality materials selected by FTX engineers, these links are designed to absorb impacts and lateral forces whilst maintaining structural rigidity. The two-piece configuration allows for straightforward replacement of worn or damaged links without requiring complete axle rebuilds or complex modifications to your vehicle's chassis. Whether you're running the brushed or brushless variants of the Outlaw, or either version of the Kanyon trail crawler, these links provide consistent performance and compatibility across the FTX range.

- Do I need special tools to replace these chassis links? — Replacement of these rear axle housing to chassis links typically requires only basic RC tools such as hex drivers and possibly a screwdriver, depending on how your particular model secures the links. Most FTX components are designed with ease of maintenance in mind, and detailed instructions are available from the manufacturer.
- How often should I replace these chassis links? — Under normal driving conditions, quality rear axle chassis links can last for an extended period. However, if you drive aggressively, frequently tackle rocky terrain, or have experienced impacts or collisions, inspecting these links regularly is wise. Any visible cracks, bends, or play in the joints indicates replacement is needed.
- Can I upgrade to aluminium chassis links instead? — Yes, FTX offers an aluminium upgrade option for the Outlaw rear axle to chassis links (FTX Outlaw Aluminium Rear Axle to Chassis Links 2pc). Aluminium versions provide increased durability and reduced flex compared to standard components, which can benefit high-speed or aggressive driving applications.
