Overview
The FTX Ravine Steering Hub Carriers are essential replacement or upgrade components designed specifically for the FTX Ravine 1/10 scale RC crawler. These precision-engineered steering hub carriers form a critical part of your Ravine's front-end steering geometry, connecting the steering linkages to the wheels and allowing smooth, responsive directional control. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast upgrading your setup or a dedicated basher looking to maintain your vehicle in top condition, these steering hub carriers are a must-have spare part to keep your RC car UK-legal and performing at its best.
As part of FTX's comprehensive spares range for the Ravine model, these steering hub carriers represent the quality and reliability you'd expect from one of the UK's most trusted RC manufacturers. The Ravine has established itself as a favourite among rock crawling and off-road enthusiasts, and maintaining genuine FTX spares ensures your vehicle continues to deliver the exceptional performance and durability it was designed for. These carriers work in conjunction with the Ravine's suspension system to provide the precise steering feel that makes the Ravine such a capable and enjoyable ready-to-run RC vehicle.
Replacement steering hub carriers become necessary over time due to wear from intense off-road use, impacts, or if you're looking to upgrade your Ravine with alternative components.

Technical Performance
The FTX Ravine Steering Hub Carriers are precision-machined components that play a vital role in your Ravine's steering system. These carriers form the crucial connection point where your steering linkages attach to the wheel hubs, converting the input from your radio-controlled steering commands into actual wheel movement and directional changes. FTX has engineered these components to withstand the significant forces experienced during rock crawling, high-angle climbs, and aggressive off-road driving that characterises the Ravine's intended use. The materials and construction methods used ensure compatibility with the rest of the Ravine's front-end architecture, including proper alignment with the suspension links and the vehicle's overall geometry. As with all FTX Ravine spares, these hub carriers are designed to integrate perfectly with the complete drivetrain system and maintain the precise steering geometry that makes the Ravine such a capable and enjoyable 1/10 scale RC crawler. Whether you're running standard setup or have upgraded components, these genuine spares ensure your steering system maintains optimal performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What do steering hub carriers do on an RC car? — Steering hub carriers are the structural components that connect your steering linkages to the wheel hubs and axles. They convert the steering input from your transmitter into actual wheel movement, allowing you to control the direction of your RC car. Without properly functioning steering hub carriers, your vehicle cannot steer effectively.
- When should I replace my Ravine steering hub carriers? — You should replace your steering hub carriers if they become cracked, bent, or stripped from impacts during off-road driving. If you notice loose steering, excessive play in the front end, or difficulty steering your Ravine, worn steering hub carriers may be the cause. Having spare carriers on hand allows you to perform a quick replacement and get back to driving.
- Are these carriers compatible with upgraded steering components? — These are genuine FTX Ravine steering hub carriers designed specifically for the Ravine model. They are compatible with the Ravine's standard steering system including the Ravine steering links and pads and work as part of the complete Ravine front-end geometry.
- Will these improve my Ravine's steering response? — These are replacement components designed to restore your steering to factory specification. If your Ravine's steering has become sloppy or unresponsive due to worn carriers, replacing them with these genuine spares will restore precise, responsive steering control.
