Technical Performance
The brake cup is a fundamental component within the braking system of the FTX Carnage NT and Zorro NT nitro-powered RC trucks. These vehicles are 1/10 scale high-performance machines that demand reliable braking systems capable of handling repeated hard stops from high speed. The brake cup works in conjunction with the brake pads, brake rotor and brake linkage to create the friction necessary for controlled deceleration and reliable stopping. For nitro-powered RC cars, braking performance is critical since these vehicles can achieve substantial speeds and operate across varied terrain including off-road tracks, gravel surfaces and natural outdoor environments. The brake cup must maintain its structural integrity and dimensional accuracy throughout repeated heating cycles that occur during intense driving sessions, as brake friction generates considerable heat. FTX has engineered this component to maintain consistent performance across the lifespan of your vehicle, though like all wear items in RC braking systems, it may require periodic inspection and replacement depending on your driving intensity and frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a brake cup and why do I need to replace it? — The brake cup is a component within your Carnage NT or Zorro NT's braking system that works with the brake pads and rotor to create stopping power. Over time, especially with intensive driving, the brake cup can wear, develop cracks, or become damaged from impacts. Replacing it with this genuine FTX spare ensures your braking system continues to function reliably and safely, which is essential for controlling your RC truck at high speeds.
- Is this brake cup compatible with both the Carnage NT and Zorro NT? — Yes, this single FTX brake cup component (FTX6430) is compatible with both the FTX Carnage NT and the FTX Zorro NT nitro-powered RC trucks. This cross-compatibility makes it a valuable spare to have on hand if you own either or both of these popular FTX models.
- How often should I replace my brake cup? — The frequency of brake cup replacement depends on your driving intensity and style. Aggressive driving, particularly with frequent hard stops from high speed, will result in faster wear. Casual weekend bashing may require less frequent replacement. Inspect your brake cup regularly for cracks, excessive wear or damage, and replace it if you notice any issues or if braking performance deteriorates.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete vehicle or ready-to-run RC car, so it's intended for owners who already have a Carnage NT or Zorro NT and need to perform maintenance or repairs. If you're new to RC vehicles and don't yet own one of these trucks, you may want to purchase the complete vehicle first. However, experienced RC hobbyists and owners will find this spare part essential for their maintenance toolkit.
- Can I install this brake cup myself? — Installation should be straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge, though specific instructions may vary. It's recommended to consult your Carnage NT or Zorro NT manual or contact RC Model Shop's expert team if you're unsure about the installation procedure. Our staff are happy to provide guidance on fitting this spare part correctly.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this brake cup is a genuine FTX component, not an aftermarket alternative. Purchasing genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility, optimal performance and long-term reliability. RC Model Shop is an authorised FTX dealer, guaranteeing that all FTX spares we stock are authentic manufacturer components.
