Overview
The FMS 90MM Super Scorpion V2 Nose Gear Strut (FMSEJ118) is a specialist replacement component designed for FMS RC aircraft models, particularly the iconic Super Scorpion series. This nose gear strut represents genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) engineering from FMS, one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality RC aircraft and vehicles. Whether you're a seasoned RC pilot in the UK looking to maintain your prized FMS collection or someone who has experienced damage to your aircraft's landing gear assembly, this replacement part offers authentic compatibility and reliable performance.
The nose gear strut is a critical structural component that bears the weight of your RC aircraft during takeoff, landing and taxi operations. When your aircraft experiences hard landings, rough terrain interactions, or simply wear from repeated use, the nose gear strut can suffer damage, cracks or deformation that compromises both safety and aerodynamic performance. Choosing an official FMS replacement part ensures you're restoring your aircraft to factory specifications, maintaining proper weight distribution, alignment and structural integrity that impacts how your model performs in the air.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine FMS spare parts and components, making it easy for UK-based hobbyists to find exactly what they need to keep their aircraft flying. The FMS 90MM Super Scorpion V2 Nose Gear Strut is a direct replacement component engineered to restore your aircraft to peak performance condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What aircraft models is this nose gear strut compatible with? — This part (FMSEJ118) is specifically designed for FMS aircraft in the 90MM Super Scorpion V2 range. Before purchasing, confirm your aircraft model number to ensure compatibility. If you're unsure whether your model uses this component, contact RC Model Shop's expert team who can advise on correct part identification.
- How do I know if my nose gear strut needs replacement? — You should consider replacement if your strut shows visible cracks, bends, deformation or permanent damage that affects aircraft alignment. Even small damage can impact takeoff and landing performance. If your aircraft nose-wheels don't sit at the correct angle or height compared to before, or if you've experienced a hard landing, inspect the nose gear strut carefully.
- Is this difficult to install myself? — The installation complexity depends on your aircraft design and your familiarity with RC aircraft maintenance. Most FMS aircraft allow strut replacement through straightforward mechanical connection, but always refer to your specific aircraft manual for installation procedures. If you're new to RC aircraft maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance.
- Will this part improve my aircraft performance? — If your existing strut is damaged or deformed, replacing it with this genuine FMS component will restore your aircraft to proper alignment and structural integrity, which directly improves handling, takeoff characteristics and landing safety. A bent nose gear strut can cause poor directional control and uneven landing dynamics.
- Is this an original FMS part or a compatible alternative? — This is a genuine original FMS part manufactured by FMS to exact factory specifications. Choosing authentic OEM components ensures perfect compatibility and quality assurance that third-party alternatives cannot guarantee.
- Where can I buy genuine FMS spare parts in the UK? — RC Model Shop is an authorised FMS retailer stocking genuine spare parts and components. Ordering from authorised dealers ensures you receive authentic products with full manufacturer support and warranty coverage.
