FTX Stinger Rear Outer Lower Hinge Pin 3mm x 28mm Suspension Spares FTX10538

Overview

The FTX Stinger Rear Outer Lower Hinge Pin 3 X 28 (4pc) FTX10538 is an essential suspension component for FTX Stinger and EVO30 1/10 scale on-road street RC cars. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast running your brushless street basher hard or a dedicated competitor pushing your RC car UK setup to the limit, having quality replacement hinge pins in your spares box is crucial for maintaining peak performance. These precision-engineered pins are designed to withstand the demands of aggressive driving whilst maintaining the precise geometry that your FTX Stinger requires for optimal handling and stability.

As a rear outer lower suspension component, this hinge pin plays a vital role in the suspension articulation of your RC car. The specific 3mm diameter and 28mm length make these pins perfectly matched to the rear suspension geometry of the Stinger and EVO30 models. When suspension components wear or become damaged through normal use, having genuine FTX replacement parts ensures your RC vehicle maintains its factory-spec performance characteristics. This four-piece pack gives you multiple pins for maintenance, spares, or if you want to keep extra sets on hand for track days and competitive racing.

The FTX Stinger is renowned in the UK RC community as a capable 1/10 on-road street car with brushless power and genuine ready-to-run RTR convenience. Maintaining your Stinger with quality OEM spares like these hinge pins is the best way to keep your investment running smoothly and reliably, whether you're bashing locally or competing at a higher level.

Key Features

• Precision 3mm diameter — The exact diameter specified for FTX Stinger and EVO30 rear suspension ensures perfect fitment and eliminates any slack or binding in your suspension pivot points, maintaining precise handling geometry.
• 28mm length specification — The 28mm length is engineered specifically for the rear outer lower suspension arm position on these models, ensuring correct suspension geometry and ride characteristics that FTX designed into the platform.
• Pack of four pins — You receive four individual hinge pins in this set, giving you spares for maintenance, repair, or the ability to keep multiple sets available for different driving conditions or competition requirements.
• Genuine FTX replacement part — This is an authentic FTX OEM component rather than an aftermarket alternative, guaranteeing compatibility and performance consistency with your FTX Stinger or EVO30 platform.
• Essential suspension maintenance — Hinge pins are wear items that can degrade through repeated suspension articulation and impact loads, making replacement pins vital for maintaining optimal suspension response and vehicle handling.
• Compatible with multiple models — These pins work on both the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless street car in grey and red colours, and the FTX EVO30 1/10 brushed street car models in both black and red variants, providing flexibility across the product range.

Technical Performance

The FTX Stinger Rear Outer Lower Hinge Pin represents precision engineering at its finest. At just 3mm in diameter and 28mm in length, these pins are engineered to exact tolerances to ensure they fit perfectly within the suspension geometry of your FTX Stinger or EVO30 1/10 scale on-road street car. Suspension pivot points are critical to vehicle performance — they directly affect how your suspension articulates, how your car responds to driver input, and ultimately how fast and reliably your RC car performs on the track or in casual driving. Over time, through normal wear from repeated suspension cycling and the impacts of racing or bashing, these hinge pins can wear, develop flat spots, or become bent, degrading suspension performance. The use of quality replacement pins ensures your rear suspension maintains proper articulation and response. The four-piece quantity in this pack means you can replace both rear outer lower hinge pins and still have two spares, providing excellent value and ensuring you're never caught out without critical spares. Whether you're running an FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless street car or an EVO30 1/10 brushed street car, these OEM components guarantee you're maintaining your RC car with parts engineered specifically for your model by the original manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between hinge pins and other suspension components on my RC car? — Hinge pins are the small cylindrical components that form the pivot points for your suspension arms. Unlike larger components like suspension arms or shock absorbers, these pins specifically control the articulation point where upper and lower arms connect. They're wear items that can become damaged through normal use, which is why having quality replacements ensures your suspension maintains proper geometry and response.
• How do I know if my hinge pins need replacing? — Signs of worn hinge pins include sloppy or loose feeling suspension, suspension arms that move excessively in directions they shouldn't, or difficulty maintaining consistent handling behaviour. If you've been using your FTX Stinger hard or notice your car's handling has degraded, replacing hinge pins is a worthwhile maintenance step.
• Are these pins compatible with other FTX models? — These specific pins (3 X 28) are designed for the rear outer lower suspension arm position on FTX Stinger and FTX EVO30 models. Other FTX models may use different pin sizes, so always verify your specific model's requirements before ordering spares.
• Why should I buy genuine FTX replacement parts rather than aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine FTX parts are engineered to exact specifications by the original manufacturer and guarantee perfect fitment and performance with your model. Using OEM spares ensures your FTX Stinger maintains its factory-spec handling characteristics and reliability that FTX designed into the platform.
• How many sets of hinge pins should I keep in my spares box? — Having multiple sets is sensible maintenance practice. Since each Stinger rear suspension has two outer lower hinge pins, and this pack contains four pins, you have enough for one complete replacement with two spares. Many competitive RC enthusiasts keep multiple packs on hand for busy racing weekends.
• What is the FTX Stinger and is it a good choice for UK RC enthusiasts? — The FTX Stinger is a 1/10 scale on-road street car with brushless power, designed as a ready-to-run RTR platform. It's popular among UK RC car enthusiasts for casual bashing and street racing thanks to its genuine RTR convenience and solid build quality. Maintaining it with quality spares like these hinge pins ensures reliable performance.
