Overview
The FTX Havok Rear Hub Carriers are essential replacement parts designed specifically for the FTX Havok range of 1/14th scale drift vehicles. These precision-engineered components form a critical part of the rear suspension and steering geometry of your RC drift truck or roadster. Whether you are an experienced RC enthusiast looking to maintain your FTX Havok or a newcomer to the world of RC drift vehicles, having spare hub carriers on hand is vital for keeping your model in top condition and ready for action. These rear hub carriers are manufactured to OEM specifications and designed to work seamlessly with the complete FTX Havok suspension system.
The hub carriers play a crucial role in your drift vehicle's performance and handling characteristics. They serve as the connection point between your wheels and the suspension arms, directly influencing steering response, wheel alignment and overall vehicle stability. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who are serious about their drift racing or weekend bashing, quality replacement parts like these Havok rear hub carriers are an investment in reliability and longevity. The FTX Havok range has earned a solid reputation amongst RC car UK enthusiasts for offering excellent value without compromising on build quality or performance. By keeping spare hub carriers in your spares box, you ensure minimal downtime when repairs are needed.
Available as a pair, these rear hub carriers give you everything needed to restore your vehicle to factory specification. The FTX brand is well established in the ready to run RC market, and their spare parts are readily available through authorised UK retailers like RC Model Shop. Whether you have experienced damage during a crash, or simply want to refresh your suspension components as part of routine maintenance, these hub carriers represent an affordable and practical solution for keeping your FTX Havok drift truck or roadster performing at its best.
Key Features
- Pair Configuration — These hub carriers are supplied as a pair (one for each side), giving you a complete replacement set for both rear corners of your vehicle. This ensures consistent geometry and handling on both sides of your FTX Havok.
- OEM Specification Design — Manufactured to original FTX specifications, these rear hub carriers maintain the correct geometry and alignment tolerances required for optimal drift performance and steering response on your 1/14th scale model.
- Direct Compatibility — Designed specifically for the FTX Havok Drift Roadster and FTX Havok Drift Truck platforms, ensuring perfect fitment without modification or adaptation. Compatible with both yellow and blue factory colour variants.
- Precision Engineering — The hub carriers are precisely manufactured to maintain accurate wheel alignment angles and suspension geometry, critical factors for achieving consistent drift lines and responsive handling.
- Essential Replacement Part — Hub carriers are high-wear items that can be damaged during crashes or hard driving, making them one of the most frequently replaced components in any RC drift vehicle's spares inventory.
- Easy Installation — Installation is straightforward using standard RC tools and fasteners, allowing you to perform repairs and maintenance without requiring specialist equipment or technical knowledge.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance — By replacing only the damaged hub carriers rather than entire suspension assemblies, you can keep repair and maintenance costs down while maintaining full performance.
Technical Performance
The rear hub carriers are precision-moulded or machined components that form the structural connection between your suspension arms and wheel hubs on your FTX Havok 1/14th scale drift vehicle. These components must maintain precise tolerances to ensure proper wheel alignment, including correct camber and toe-in angles that are essential for drift performance. The carriers are engineered to handle the forces experienced during aggressive drift driving, including lateral loads during cornering and impacts from aggressive landings or minor crashes. The design allows for easy installation of the rear hub pins (sold separately as FTX10623) which secure the wheels to the carriers, and the carriers themselves bolt securely to your lower suspension arms using standard fasteners. The geometry of these parts is critical to maintaining the handling characteristics and responsiveness that make the FTX Havok such a popular choice amongst RC drift enthusiasts in the UK. Quality replacement hub carriers ensure that your vehicle maintains factory geometry and performance standards, preventing the development of handling vices that can occur with bent or damaged original components. These are genuine FTX parts manufactured to the same standards as the original equipment that came with your Havok drift truck or roadster.

If you own a different FTX Havok variant, we recommend checking the part compatibility list or contacting RC Model Shop for confirmation.
- What is the scale of the FTX Havok and will these parts fit other RC vehicles? — The FTX Havok is a 1/14th scale drift vehicle, and these rear hub carriers are specifically designed for this scale and model range. They will not be compatible with other FTX models or other manufacturers' RC vehicles due to differences in suspension geometry and mounting points. Always verify compatibility before ordering replacement parts for your RC car UK model.
- How often should I replace the hub carriers on my FTX Havok? — Hub carriers typically need replacement only when damaged through crashes or wear. With normal driving and maintenance, they should last for extended periods. However, if you notice any damage, cracks, bending, or changes in your vehicle's handling, it may be time to replace them.
- What fasteners do I need to install these rear hub carriers? — The hub carriers bolt directly to your lower suspension arms and accept the rear hub pins. Specific fastener sizes and requirements are detailed in your FTX Havok assembly manual. Standard RC tools and fasteners compatible with the FTX Havok are required for installation.
