Overview
The FTX Edge/Siege Ball Stud (8) is an essential suspension component for owners of FTX Edge and FTX Siege RC models. These precision-engineered ball studs are critical replacement parts that maintain the integrity of your RC car's suspension geometry and steering response. Whether you're a dedicated basher, weekend racer, or RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your FTX Edge or Siege at peak performance, these genuine OEM spares ensure your vehicle continues to deliver the handling and durability you expect from quality RC cars.
Ball studs are fundamental to RC suspension systems, connecting the suspension arms to the chassis and enabling smooth articulation and steering control. Over time, through intense off-road driving, track racing, or casual bashing, ball studs can wear, strip, or damage, compromising suspension response and vehicle stability. The FTX Edge/Siege Ball Stud pack provides you with eight replacement studs, giving you multiple spares to keep your RC car in top condition and minimising downtime between sessions.
As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop supplies only genuine factory parts that meet the exact specifications of your Edge or Siege chassis. Using authentic OEM spares guarantees compatibility, durability and the performance characteristics that FTX engineers designed into these popular RC models. Stock these ball studs in your spares box and you'll always be ready for repairs, upgrades or competitive racing.

Technical Performance
The FTX Edge/Siege Ball Stud set consists of eight precision-manufactured suspension components designed to meet the exact engineering specifications of FTX Edge and FTX Siege RC vehicles. Ball studs are critical connection points within the suspension system, linking suspension arms to the main chassis and enabling the articulation necessary for smooth steering, responsive handling and proper suspension travel. These components must maintain tight tolerances to preserve suspension geometry and prevent play or slop that would degrade handling response. The genuine FTX specification ensures that these ball studs maintain the suspension characteristics that make the Edge and Siege popular choices among UK RC enthusiasts, whether for casual bashing, trail running or competitive racing. By using authentic OEM parts rather than aftermarket alternatives, you preserve the original design intent and performance envelope of your FTX model. The eight-piece pack provides comprehensive spares coverage, allowing you to replace worn or damaged studs and maintain a fully functional suspension system across multiple driving sessions.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are ball studs and why do I need them for my FTX Edge or Siege? — Ball studs are suspension connection components that link your suspension arms to the chassis. They enable smooth steering and suspension movement. Over time, through driving stress and impacts, ball studs can wear, strip or break, compromising handling and suspension response. Keeping spares on hand ensures you can quickly repair your RC car and get back to driving.
- Why should I buy genuine FTX ball studs rather than aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine FTX parts are engineered to exact specifications and designed specifically for the Edge and Siege suspension geometry. Aftermarket alternatives may introduce play or tolerance issues that degrade handling. Using authentic OEM spares preserves your vehicle's performance and reliability.
- How many ball studs does a typical FTX Edge or Siege use? — The suspension system uses multiple ball studs throughout the front and rear suspension arms. This eight-piece pack provides ample spares for multiple repairs or complete suspension rebuilds.
- Are these ball studs difficult to install? — Ball stud replacement is a straightforward maintenance task suitable for most RC enthusiasts. The studs press or screw into the suspension arms and chassis connection points. If you're unfamiliar with suspension work, consult your FTX Edge or Siege manual or watch instructional videos before starting.
- Can I use these ball studs on other FTX models? — These ball studs are designed specifically for FTX Edge and FTX Siege models. Whilst some FTX models may share compatible parts, it's best to verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
