Overview
The Fastrax Arrma Rear Aluminium Chassis Brace in striking red is an essential upgrade for owners of the Arrma Kraton RC monster truck. This precision-engineered chassis brace is designed specifically to reinforce the rear end of your RC vehicle, providing improved structural rigidity and durability during high-performance driving. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying the thrills of off-road RC action, a competitive racer pushing your machine to its limits, or an experienced RC enthusiast looking to maximise your truck's longevity, this aluminium upgrade delivers real-world benefits that translate directly into more reliable performance and extended component lifespan.
Built from high-quality aluminium, this rear chassis brace adds critical bracing to the rear section of the Kraton's chassis, helping to eliminate flex and maintain precise geometry even under extreme cornering forces and high-speed impacts. The red anodised finish not only looks fantastic but also provides corrosion resistance and durability. This is the kind of essential upgrade that separates a stock RC car from a properly tuned, race-ready machine. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand the best performance from their ARRMA Kraton, this Fastrax component is an investment that pays dividends in reliability, handling consistency, and overall driving experience.
The Kraton platform has become one of the most popular large-scale RC monster trucks available to UK hobbyists, and genuine Fastrax upgrades like this chassis brace are the preferred choice among serious drivers. Whether you're upgrading from a ready-to-run stock setup or fine-tuning an existing competition machine, this rear aluminium chassis brace is the kind of tune-up option that professionals and enthusiasts alike recommend.
Key Features
- Precision Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, this chassis brace provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring you get maximum structural reinforcement without adding unnecessary bulk to your RC monster truck.
- Rear Chassis Reinforcement — Specifically engineered to brace the rear section of the Arrma Kraton, this component significantly reduces chassis flex during aggressive cornering, acceleration and landing impacts, maintaining precise suspension geometry and steering response.

Technical Performance
This Fastrax rear aluminium chassis brace represents the kind of engineering excellence that separates casual RC bashers from serious competitors. The use of aluminium as the primary material balances strength with minimal weight penalty, a critical consideration when tuning an RC monster truck like the Kraton for optimal performance. The brace is specifically designed to address the rear chassis section, a critical stress point in high-performance driving where flex can compromise suspension geometry, handling predictability and component lifespan. During aggressive acceleration, hard cornering and high-impact landings, chassis flex creates inconsistent behaviour that makes the truck harder to drive and more prone to component failure. By rigidly bracing the rear chassis, this upgrade maintains geometry under stress, delivering more consistent handling characteristics and more predictable steering response through corners and over technical terrain. The red anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process hardens the aluminium surface, providing excellent corrosion resistance that ensures your upgrade performs reliably even in wet UK weather conditions or after mud-bashing adventures. This is the quality of engineering expected from Fastrax, a recognised manufacturer of RC upgrades trusted by enthusiasts across the United Kingdom. For anyone running a Kraton seriously—whether for recreational bashing, training for competition, or simply demanding the best reliability from their RC investment—this rear chassis brace is a proven, effective upgrade that delivers measurable improvements in handling and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this rear aluminium chassis brace improve my Kraton's handling? — Yes. By reducing chassis flex at the rear, this brace maintains suspension geometry during cornering and acceleration, resulting in more consistent handling, improved steering response and better predictability through turns. You'll notice sharper cornering feel and more stable landings from jumps.
- Is this a recommended upgrade for Arrma Kraton owners? — Absolutely. This is one of the most effective tune-up options available for the Kraton platform. Whether you're a casual basher or competitor, upgrading to a rigid rear chassis brace is widely recommended by RC enthusiasts and is considered essential for anyone looking to maximise their truck's performance and durability.
- What's the benefit of aluminium construction compared to plastic? — Aluminium provides superior rigidity and strength whilst remaining lightweight, meaning you get significant structural reinforcement without the weight penalty that would slow your RC truck or affect handling balance. The anodised finish also provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring this upgrade remains reliable through countless bashing sessions.
- Will this fit my standard Kraton without modifications? — Yes. This is a purpose-designed component engineered specifically for the Arrma Kraton platform, guaranteeing perfect fitment straight out of the box with no drilling, cutting or modifications required.
- How does this compare to the standard plastic rear chassis? — The stock plastic rear chassis will flex under stress, particularly during high-speed cornering, aggressive acceleration and hard landings. The aluminium brace rigidly braces this section, eliminating flex that compromises geometry and consistency. The result is noticeably improved handling, more predictable steering, and extended component lifespan due to reduced stress on suspension and drivetrain parts.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes. Whilst this is an advanced tune-up option most popular with experienced drivers, beginners will also benefit from the improved handling and durability it provides. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge, though you may want to ask an experienced RC friend or visit a local RC shop if you're unsure about fitment.
