Vitavon Kraton 8S 1/5 CNC Alu7075 Suspension Hanger Lower Arm Mount Set Silver - Vitavon VITARA330556

Overview

The Vitavon Kraton 8S 1/5 CNC Alu7075 Suspension Hanger Lower Arm Mount Set represents a significant upgrade over the stock suspension components found on ARRMA Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S 1/5 scale RC buggies. Manufactured from premium aerospace-grade aluminium 7075, this precision-engineered suspension component set is engineered for enthusiasts who demand maximum durability and performance from their high-powered RC vehicles. Whether you're running an RC car UK retailer stock model or customising your existing Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S platform, this CNC-machined mount set delivers the structural integrity required for aggressive driving, competition use, and extreme terrain bashings.

This is an essential upgrade for any serious RC enthusiast using the ARRMA Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S platform. The stock suspension mounts, whilst adequate for casual use, can become a limitation when pushing your 8S brushless RC truck to its limits on rough terrain or during high-speed runs. The Vitavon CNC suspension hanger and lower arm mount set addresses this weakness by providing significantly stronger mounting points that resist bending, cracking, and component failure. Available in professional silver finish, these components not only perform exceptionally but also enhance the visual appeal of your RC model.

RC enthusiasts across the UK consistently choose Vitavon upgrade parts because they understand that suspension geometry and mount rigidity directly impact handling precision, durability, and overall performance. This complete front and rear suspension mount set gives you the confidence to push your Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S harder without worrying about component failure, making it an outstanding investment whether you're a weekend basher, competitive racer, or dedicated RC hobbyist.

Key Features

• Premium Aluminium 7075 Construction — The suspension hangers and lower arm mounts are manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminium 7075, a material renowned for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior fatigue resistance compared to standard aluminium alloys. This advanced material is considerably stronger than the original equipment factory components, ensuring your suspension geometry remains rigid and consistent even under extreme loads and aggressive cornering forces.
• CNC-Precision Manufacturing — Each component is machined using computer numerical control (CNC) technology, guaranteeing exact dimensional tolerances and perfect fitment with your ARRMA Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S chassis. This precision manufacturing eliminates the manufacturing tolerances found in cast parts, resulting in more predictable handling characteristics and eliminating any fitment issues that occasionally plague generic aftermarket parts.
• Complete Front and Rear Coverage — This set includes all necessary suspension hanger and lower arm mount components for both the front and rear suspension systems of your RC truck, eliminating the need to purchase multiple separate kits and ensuring perfect compatibility between front and rear suspension geometry.
• Enhanced Durability and Rigidity — The material science of aluminium 7075 and the precision CNC manufacturing combine to create suspension mounts that resist bending, twisting, and deformation during hard cornering, landing impacts, and sustained high-speed running. This enhanced structural rigidity translates directly into improved handling consistency and dramatically extended component lifespan compared to standard mounts.
• Compatible with ARRMA Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S — Engineered specifically for ARRMA's 1/5 scale 8S platform, this mount set provides a direct bolt-on upgrade requiring no modification to your existing chassis or suspension components, making installation straightforward for intermediate to advanced RC enthusiasts.
• Professional Silver Finish — The attractive silver anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance whilst lending your RC truck a premium, competition-grade appearance that showcases quality engineering and meticulous attention to detail.

Technical Performance

The suspension mounting system forms the critical foundation of your RC truck's handling dynamics, and upgrading from cast or pressed steel components to precision-machined CNC aluminium 7075 represents a genuine performance enhancement. Aluminium 7075 is recognised throughout aerospace and motorsport industries as one of the highest-strength aluminium alloys available, offering tensile strength values typically around 570 MPa in the T6 temper condition—dramatically exceeding the strength characteristics of standard 6061 aluminium or die-cast zinc components commonly found in budget aftermarket parts. The CNC manufacturing process ensures dimensional consistency within micrometre tolerances, meaning each mount provides identical geometry and load distribution characteristics. For owners of the ARRMA Kraton 8S—a genuinely capable 8S LiPo-powered 1/5 scale buggy capable of reaching extreme speeds and acceleration forces—suspension mount rigidity becomes critical. The factory mounts can flex and deform under the immense cornering loads generated during high-speed cornering or aggressive terrain bashing, causing handling inconsistency and eventually leading to component fatigue and failure. The Vitavon CNC mounts maintain suspension geometry with exceptional precision, preventing the suspension mounting points from moving or flexing, which preserves the designed suspension geometry and delivers more predictable, responsive handling. The complete front and rear coverage ensures symmetrical suspension characteristics between front and rear, critical for balanced weight distribution and neutral handling behaviour across varying terrain. Installation on the Kraton 8S (model ARA110002BT1 or ARA110002BT2) and Outcast 8S (model ARA5810B or ARA5210B) is straightforward, as the mounts feature direct compatibility with ARRMA's standard suspension architecture, requiring only simple bolt replacement with no frame modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these suspension mounts improve my Kraton 8S handling? — Yes, significantly. The rigid CNC-machined aluminium 7075 construction prevents the suspension mounting points from flexing or deforming under load, which maintains precise suspension geometry and delivers noticeably more predictable, responsive handling characteristics, particularly during high-speed cornering and aggressive terrain driving.
• Are these mounts compatible with both Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S models? — Yes, these mounts are engineered specifically for both the ARRMA Kraton 8S (ARA110002BT1 and ARA110002BT2) and ARRMA Outcast 8S (ARA5810B and ARA5210B) models. The Outcast 8S shares the same chassis architecture and suspension mounting points as the Kraton 8S, making these components universally compatible across both platforms.
• Is installation of these suspension mounts difficult for beginners? — These mounts feature direct bolt-on compatibility with standard ARRMA Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S suspension systems, requiring no frame modifications or special tools beyond basic metric hex wrenches. Intermediate RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge can complete installation in under 30 minutes by simply removing the factory mounts and bolting on these Vitavon CNC components.
• What is the performance difference between stock mounts and these CNC Alu7075 mounts? — Stock ARRMA suspension mounts are typically cast steel or aluminium alloy with looser manufacturing tolerances. The Vitavon CNC mounts utilise aerospace-grade aluminium 7075, which is significantly stronger and manufactured to precision tolerances within micrometres, eliminating flex and deformation that occurs in factory mounts under extreme cornering loads or impact forces. This translates to improved handling consistency, faster response to steering inputs, and extended component lifespan.
• Will these mounts work on a heavily modified Kraton 8S with different suspension geometry? — These mounts are engineered specifically for the standard ARRMA Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S suspension architecture. Chassis modifications that alter suspension geometry or mounting points may affect compatibility, so we recommend confirming your specific setup matches the standard platform before purchase.
• How do I know these are genuine Vitavon components? — Genuine Vitavon parts purchased from RC Model Shop include manufacturer packaging and documentation. We are an authorised Vitavon retailer, and all products sold through our platform are genuine components directly sourced from the manufacturer.
