Overview
The Fastrax Arrma Front Aluminium Lower Suspension Mounts (FTAR007BK) are precision-engineered chassis components designed specifically for high-performance ARRMA RC vehicles. These front lower suspension mounts are compatible with the Kraton, OutCast, Senton, and Typhon model ranges, making them essential upgrade and replacement parts for serious RC enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're upgrading your existing RC car setup or replacing worn components, these aluminium mounts deliver the durability and precision fit that discerning RC bashers and competitors demand.
Crafted from aluminium alloy material, these lower suspension mounts provide superior rigidity compared to standard plastic alternatives, directly translating to improved handling dynamics and enhanced durability during aggressive driving. For UK RC car owners who demand reliability and performance, these Fastrax components represent a smart investment in your vehicle's longevity and on-track performance. The mounting system is engineered to work seamlessly with the suspension geometry of your ARRMA vehicle, ensuring optimal weight distribution and predictable handling characteristics across varied terrain.
RC enthusiasts know that suspension geometry is critical to vehicle performance. The front lower suspension mounts are fundamental to this equation, and upgrading to aluminium construction offers tangible benefits in terms of chassis stiffness and impact resistance. Whether you're enjoying weekend bashing sessions or preparing your ready to run RC truck for competitive driving, these Fastrax mounts ensure your suspension operates at peak efficiency.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight yet incredibly strong aluminium alloy, these mounts provide substantially better rigidity than plastic alternatives, reducing chassis flex during hard cornering and aggressive acceleration, which translates directly to more responsive steering and improved overall handling precision.
- Multi-Model Compatibility — Engineered specifically for ARRMA Kraton, OutCast, Senton, and Typhon models, ensuring exact fitment without modification or adapters, saving you time during installation and guaranteeing proper suspension geometry alignment.
- Front Lower Mount Design — These components form the critical lower pivot points of the front suspension, controlling suspension movement and maintaining proper ride height, which is essential for consistent performance across rough terrain and high-speed driving conditions.
- Direct Replacement Parts — Designed as direct replacements for standard factory mounts, allowing you to quickly upgrade or repair your suspension without requiring additional chassis modifications or compatibility concerns.
- Enhanced Durability — Aluminium construction significantly improves resistance to bending and impact damage compared to plastic mounts, extending component lifespan and reducing the frequency of suspension maintenance and replacement.
- Improved Suspension Performance — The increased rigidity of aluminium mounts reduces suspension deflection, ensuring your suspension geometry remains consistent during aggressive driving, which is crucial for maintaining handling predictability and driver confidence.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Arrma Front Aluminium Lower Suspension Mounts represent a significant upgrade to the suspension systems of ARRMA's popular mid-sized 4WD truck lineup. Built from premium-grade aluminium alloy, these mounts deliver superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard plastic factory components, making them a popular choice among UK RC enthusiasts who participate in both casual bashing and competitive racing. The aluminium construction provides measurably improved rigidity, which has direct implications for chassis stiffness and suspension response. When your RC truck navigates rough terrain at speed, suspension components experience tremendous stress and deflection. Traditional plastic mounts can flex and bend under these loads, causing the suspension geometry to shift during critical moments—a problem that aluminium mounts essentially eliminate. This consistent suspension geometry means your vehicle maintains predictable handling characteristics regardless of throttle input, terrain conditions, or driving intensity. For drivers who have experienced the frustration of plastic suspension components failing mid-session, upgrading to aluminium represents both a performance enhancement and a practical solution to durability concerns. The front lower mounts are critical suspension pivot points; they literally connect your vehicle's chassis to the front suspension components. Any deflection or wear at these connection points directly affects steering response, traction, and overall vehicle stability. Upgrading to Fastrax's aluminium construction ensures these critical connection points remain rock-solid throughout extended driving sessions, whether you're enjoying a casual afternoon at your local RC track or pushing hard during competitive events. The engineering precision ensures these mounts fit perfectly within the ARRMA suspension design, maintaining proper geometry angles that ARRMA engineers specified for optimal performance with each model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these aluminium suspension mounts compatible with my ARRMA RC truck? — Yes, these Fastrax mounts are specifically engineered for ARRMA Kraton, OutCast, Senton, and Typhon models. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle model against this compatibility list to ensure perfect fitment.
- Why should I upgrade from plastic to aluminium suspension mounts? — Aluminium provides substantially superior rigidity and durability compared to plastic factory mounts. This means less chassis flex during aggressive driving, more consistent suspension geometry, improved handling precision, and significantly longer component lifespan. For UK RC drivers who take their vehicles seriously, the performance and durability benefits justify the upgrade cost.
- Are these difficult to install on my RC car? — These are direct replacement parts designed for ARRMA vehicles, so installation should be straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. If you're new to RC suspension work, RC Model Shop offers expert advice and support to help you through the process.
- Will upgrading to aluminium mounts improve my lap times? — Yes, the increased rigidity of aluminium mounts reduces suspension deflection and maintains consistent handling geometry throughout your run, which translates to more predictable vehicle behaviour and potentially faster lap times, especially on technical courses with fast direction changes and heavy braking zones.
- How long do aluminium suspension mounts last? — Properly installed aluminium mounts are extremely durable and resistant to the bending and impact damage that commonly affects plastic components. Most UK RC drivers find aluminium mounts last many seasons of regular use before replacement is necessary, making them a cost-effective upgrade despite the slightly higher initial purchase price.
- Can I use these mounts as direct replacements without other suspension modifications? — Yes, these Fastrax mounts are designed as direct replacements for factory ARRMA suspension components. They maintain the same mounting geometry and dimensions, so no other suspension modifications or adjustments are required for proper fitment and operation.
