Overview
The FTX Centaur Left & Right Steering Arms (pr) FTX10403 are essential OEM replacement parts for the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast running a fleet of RC cars in the UK or a dedicated basher who puts their trail truck through its paces on weekends, having quality spare parts on hand is crucial for keeping your rig in peak condition. These steering arms are precision-engineered components that directly affect your Centaur's handling, responsiveness and overall performance on the track or trail.
Steering arms play a vital role in any RC vehicle's steering geometry and suspension setup. They connect the steering servo to the front wheels via your suspension linkages, translating the servo's input into precise directional changes. When your original arms wear out, crack or bend during aggressive driving, replacing them with genuine FTX Centaur steering arms restores your vehicle to factory specifications. This pair includes both left and right arms, giving you everything needed for a complete steering system refresh on your Centaur trail truck.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine FTX spares and replacement parts for the entire Centaur range, making it easy to maintain and upgrade your RC vehicles without downtime. These steering arms are OEM quality parts manufactured to the same specifications as your original equipment, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance whether you're crawling rocky terrain, bashing through mud, or enjoying high-speed runs across open ground.

Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Left & Right Steering Arms are critical suspension and steering components designed for reliability and durability in demanding off-road conditions. These arms interface directly with your Centaur's steering servo and suspension linkage system, translating servo movements into precise wheel movements with minimal play or deflection. Manufactured from durable materials selected for strength and longevity, these arms resist bending under load whilst maintaining the precise angles needed for accurate steering geometry. Whether you're tackling technical rock crawling that demands intricate steering input, high-speed bashing that places enormous stresses on every component, or precision trail driving that requires predictable response, these genuine FTX parts provide the foundation for reliable performance. The engineering is matched to the Centaur's overall platform, which means you'll benefit from the same build quality and attention to detail that goes into every factory-assembled RTR ready to run RC trail truck from FTX. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and value, having genuine replacement steering arms means you can quickly get back to driving rather than spending hours troubleshooting compatibility or fitment issues with non-genuine alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these steering arms fit my FTX Centaur RC trail truck? — Yes, these arms are engineered specifically for the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle and are available in both red (FTX5475R) and blue (FTX5475B) colour variants. They are direct OEM replacements that require no modification for installation.
- Why should I replace my steering arms? — Original steering arms can crack, bend or wear out through normal use, especially during aggressive driving on rough terrain. Bent arms cause unpredictable steering geometry, whilst cracked arms may fail suddenly. Replacing them restores your Centaur to factory specifications and restores precise steering response.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are authentic FTX factory parts sourced from the manufacturer and supplied by RC Model Shop, an authorised FTX dealer in the UK. You receive genuine components with full compatibility assurance.
- Do I need any special tools to install these steering arms? — Installation typically requires basic RC hobby tools including hex drivers or ball drivers for servo arm and linkage connections. Detailed installation guides are often available through the FTX support website or your RTR manual.
- Can I use these steering arms on other FTX models? — No, these arms are specifically designed for the FTX Centaur platform. Each FTX model features unique steering geometry and suspension specifications, so using these on other models would result in poor fitment and handling.
- What is the difference between left and right steering arms? — The pair includes one left and one right arm, each engineered with the correct geometry and mounting points for their respective side of the vehicle. This ensures balanced, predictable steering response across both directions.
