For anyone serious about keeping their RC investment in top condition, this genuine FTX spare part is an invaluable addition to any RC toolbox.
Key Features
- Complete Bushing Set — This is not a partial or individual bushing; it contains a full complement of bushings required for the Utah, Van, and Unitrak models, meaning you can refresh your entire suspension and drivetrain in one go without needing to source multiple separate parts.
- Genuine FTX Manufacturing — As an official FTX spare part, these bushings are engineered to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fit, function, and compatibility with your specific model without any guesswork or compatibility issues.
- Drivetrain Specific Design — These bushings are purpose-designed for drivetrain applications, optimising the clearance and tolerances required for smooth rotation and minimal play in suspension and drive components.
- Extended Vehicle Lifespan — Worn bushings cause excessive play and wear in suspension joints, leading to poor handling and accelerated damage to other components; replacing them restores precise geometry and reduces wear rates significantly.
- Reduced Friction and Noise — Fresh bushings minimise friction between moving parts, resulting in smoother operation, quieter running, and more responsive handling characteristics that make your RC vehicle more enjoyable to drive.
- Affordable Maintenance Solution — At under £10, this complete set represents exceptional value for money compared to purchasing individual bushings or having worn components replaced by a technician, making preventative maintenance accessible to all budget-conscious enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The FTX Utah/Van/Unitrak Complete Bushing Set is engineered to deliver consistent, reliable performance across multiple vehicle models sharing the same chassis architecture. Bushings are polymer or nylon components that serve as low-friction spacers and pivots throughout the suspension and drivetrain of an RC vehicle. They facilitate smooth movement between suspension arms, steering components, and drive shafts whilst maintaining precise tolerances. Over time, repeated impacts, vibration, and general wear cause bushings to become compressed, cracked, or damaged, leading to increased play in suspension geometry and reduced handling precision. This complete set addresses that issue by providing fresh, precision-moulded replacements that restore factory specifications. The set includes all necessary bushings for a comprehensive drivetrain refresh, eliminating the tedious process of identifying and ordering individual components. For RC enthusiasts in the UK running demanding 4WD models that spend time both on track and off-road, regular bushing maintenance is a critical part of any serious maintenance schedule. The genuine FTX manufacturing ensures these parts meet the same quality standards as the original vehicle components, providing confidence that they will perform reliably through countless hours of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models use this bushing set? — This complete bushing set is designed specifically for the FTX Utah, FTX Van, and FTX Unitrak models. If you own one of these vehicles, this set will contain all the bushings you need for a comprehensive drivetrain refresh.
- How often should I replace the bushings on my RC car? — The frequency depends on how heavily you use your vehicle and the conditions you drive in. High-use vehicles or those driven in rough terrain should have bushings inspected regularly and replaced when you notice increased play in suspension joints, looseness in steering response, or excessive rattling sounds. Many enthusiasts replace bushings annually as part of a winter maintenance schedule, whilst others only replace them when wear becomes apparent.
- Will this improve my RC car's handling? — Yes, replacing worn bushings with fresh components can dramatically improve handling precision. Worn bushings create play in the suspension geometry, causing vague steering response and inconsistent handling. Fresh bushings restore tight, predictable suspension action, making your vehicle more responsive and enjoyable to drive, particularly in competitive situations or technical courses.
- Is this a genuine FTX spare part? — Yes, this is an official FTX part manufactured to original equipment specifications. Genuine FTX spares ensure perfect compatibility and performance, unlike aftermarket alternatives that may not fit correctly or provide the same level of durability.
- Can a beginner install these bushings? — Bushing replacement requires basic mechanical skills and tools such as Allen keys, a small press or vice, and some patience. Many RC enthusiasts perform this maintenance themselves as part of routine upkeep, though if you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle maintenance, you might consider seeking guidance from experienced RC hobbyists or visiting a specialist retailer for advice on installation techniques.
- How much does this set cost? — The FTX Utah/Van/Unitrak Complete Bushing Set is priced at £9.99, making it an extremely affordable upgrade compared to other drivetrain maintenance items and a worthwhile investment in keeping your vehicle performing optimally.
