Overview
The FTX Mighty Thunder Support Rod Holder Right (2PC) FTX8407 is an essential replacement part for owners of FTX trail crawlers and rock crawlers looking to maintain or repair their vehicles. This genuine OEM spare part is specifically designed for the FTX Kanyon and Mighty Thunder chassis, two of the most popular 1/10 scale RC crawlers in the UK RC hobby market. Whether you're a dedicated basher, a weekend trail runner, or someone who takes their RC crawler seriously, having access to quality replacement parts like this support rod holder ensures your vehicle stays in peak condition and ready for action on any terrain.
Support rod holders are critical structural components on RC crawlers, providing essential chassis support and helping to maintain the integrity of the vehicle's frame during intense off-road driving. The right-hand version is a fundamental part of the suspension system, working in conjunction with the left-hand equivalent to distribute weight evenly and maintain proper vehicle geometry. This is a genuine FTX spare part, manufactured to the exact same specifications as the original equipment fitted to new vehicles, giving you the confidence that you're fitting authentic components that will perform exactly as intended.
If you own an FTX Kanyon XL or any Mighty Thunder model, having spare support rod holders in your spares box is smart maintenance planning. These components can wear over time with heavy use, especially if you regularly bash your RC crawler over challenging terrain, and having quality replacements on hand means minimal downtime and maximum enjoyment of your RC car UK hobby.
