Technical Performance

The FTX Tracer Front/Rear Lower Suspension Hinge Pins are precision components engineered to maintain the suspension geometry that FTX designed into the Tracer platform. These pins function as the pivot points for the lower suspension arms, allowing them to travel vertically through suspension articulation whilst maintaining lateral alignment and geometry. The quality of these components directly influences how smoothly your Tracer's suspension responds to bumps, how precisely the suspension maintains alignment during cornering, and ultimately how confident and controlled your driving experience feels. By replacing worn hinge pins with genuine OEM parts, you restore the original suspension performance characteristics that make the Tracer such a capable 1/16 scale platform. The Tracer line supports multiple configurations including the standard monster truck body, the alternative truggy body, and both brushed and brushless powerplant options, with some models featuring higher-capacity lithium batteries. Maintaining suspension components like these hinge pins ensures that regardless of which Tracer variant you own, your suspension delivers the smooth, predictable handling that makes this platform so enjoyable to drive.
