This genuine OEM spare part is engineered to maintain the precise suspension geometry and handling characteristics that make the FTX Stinger such a popular choice among UK RC car enthusiasts.

Suspension components like hinge pins are critical to the overall performance and longevity of any RC car. The front outer lower hinge pin directly affects how your suspension articulates, influences steering response, and impacts the durability of your chassis. Over time and through regular use, these pins can wear, bend, or become damaged through impacts and normal wear and tear. That's why buying genuine FTX replacement parts from a trusted RC car UK retailer ensures you're getting components manufactured to the exact specifications your vehicle was designed with. This four-piece pack gives you spare pins so you can maintain your FTX Stinger or compatible models without extended downtime.
RC Model Shop stocks a comprehensive range of FTX spare parts and hop-up options, making us the ideal destination for FTX Stinger owners and builders. We understand that quality spares and maintenance parts are just as important as the ready to run RC cars themselves, and we're committed to stocking genuine products at competitive prices.
Key Features
- Genuine FTX Component — This is an official FTX manufactured part, ensuring it meets the exact specifications and tolerances required for your FTX Stinger or compatible model. Using genuine OEM parts maintains the integrity of your vehicle's design and performance characteristics.
- Pack of Four Pieces — You receive four hinge pins in this pack, providing spares for replacements and maintenance. Having multiple pins on hand means you can rotate them through your fleet or keep backups for regular maintenance schedules.
- Precision Manufactured — The 3 X 23 dimensions indicate precise engineering designed to fit perfectly into your suspension assembly. Correct fitment is essential for proper suspension travel, steering response, and overall chassis geometry.
- Front Outer Lower Suspension Position — These pins are specifically engineered for the front outer lower suspension mounting point on your FTX Stinger. Using the correct pin for the correct location ensures your suspension performs as designed by FTX engineers.
- Compatible with Multiple FTX Models — Beyond the FTX Stinger, these pins are also compatible with the FTX EVO30 1/10 brushed and brushless street cars, giving you versatility if you own multiple models in your RC car collection.
- Essential Maintenance Part — Regular inspection and replacement of worn hinge pins is part of responsible RC car maintenance. These spares ensure you can keep your vehicle in peak condition without having to source parts from multiple retailers.
Technical Performance
Hinge pins are fundamental to suspension geometry and performance in RC cars. The FTX Stinger Front Outer Lower Hinge Pin maintains the exact 3mm diameter and 23mm length specifications required by the FTX engineering team. In the suspension system of a 1/10 on-road street car like the FTX Stinger, these pins serve as pivot points that allow the suspension arms to articulate smoothly while maintaining precise alignment. The material composition is engineered to withstand the repetitive stresses of cornering, acceleration, and braking that occur during spirited driving. Over extended use, hinge pins can experience wear from friction, become bent from impacts, or develop micro-fractures from stress cycles. Maintaining a spare set ensures you can rotate them during maintenance or replace them when wear becomes apparent. The four-piece quantity in this pack reflects the typical usage pattern where drivers maintain multiple pins for different locations or different vehicles in their collection. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts who drive regularly, keeping genuine OEM replacement parts like these in your workshop or pit box is a sign of proper vehicle stewardship and commitment to consistent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a hinge pin and why do I need replacement hinge pins for my FTX Stinger? — Hinge pins are cylindrical fasteners that act as pivot points in your suspension system, allowing suspension arms to move up and down smoothly. Over time, hinge pins can wear from friction, become bent from hard landings or impacts, or develop damage that affects suspension geometry and steering response. Having spare genuine FTX hinge pins ensures you can maintain your vehicle and keep it performing at its best without extended downtime waiting for parts to arrive.
- Are these compatible with my FTX model? — These pins are specifically designed for the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street car in both red and grey variants. They are also compatible with the FTX EVO30 1/10 brushed street cars and FTX EVO30 1/10 brushless street cars. Always check your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm the correct hinge pin location and specification before installation.
- How often should I replace hinge pins on my RC car? — The frequency depends on how often you drive and how intensively you use your vehicle. Regular inspection is recommended as part of your maintenance routine. If you notice increased play in the suspension, steering that feels loose, or visual damage to the pins, replacement is needed. Having these genuine spares on hand means you can perform maintenance without delays.
- What's the difference between front outer lower hinge pins and other suspension pins on my FTX Stinger? — The FTX Stinger suspension system uses different hinge pins at different locations (front outer lower, front outer upper, front inner, rear, etc.), each with specific dimensions designed for their location. Using the correct pin in the correct location ensures proper suspension geometry, steering response, and vehicle handling. This particular part is for the front outer lower position specifically.
- Can I use aftermarket hinge pins instead of genuine FTX parts? — While aftermarket options exist, genuine FTX parts are engineered to the exact specifications your vehicle was designed with. Using OEM parts ensures you maintain the precise suspension geometry, handling characteristics, and durability that FTX engineers intended. For the best performance and longevity, genuine parts are always recommended.
