Overview
The FTX Rokatan Front Lower Suspension Arm (pr) FTX10117 is an essential replacement spare part for owners of FTX Rokatan, Apache 2.0, and Ramraider RC vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK who runs your model regularly, or someone who enjoys weekend bashing sessions, suspension arms are critical components that can wear out or break during normal use. This genuine FTX spare part ensures you can keep your RC car in top condition and ready for action at all times. As a pair of front lower suspension arms, this replacement part restores your vehicle's handling characteristics and suspension geometry to factory specifications, making it an indispensable item to have on hand.
Suspension arms are fundamental to how your RC vehicle performs on the track or off-road terrain. They connect the wheel hub to the chassis and allow the suspension to move freely whilst maintaining proper wheel alignment. Over time, through regular use, impacts, and the rigours of off-road driving, these arms can suffer stress fractures or break entirely. Having genuine FTX replacement arms ensures compatibility and reliability. The FTX10117 is the authentic front lower suspension arm solution, designed specifically for the Rokatan platform and its derivative models, guaranteeing a perfect fit and seamless performance restoration.
RC Model Shop stocks this essential spare part as part of our comprehensive range of FTX replacement components. We understand that whether you're running a ready to run RC vehicle or maintaining a competition-grade setup, you need access to genuine, quality spares that you can rely on. This pair of front lower suspension arms represents excellent value and ensures your RC car or truck remains in peak working condition.

Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Front Lower Suspension Arm pair has been engineered as a direct replacement component for the Rokatan platform, which is renowned for its capability both on and off-road. These suspension arms play a crucial role in the vehicle's kinematics and handling dynamics. The front lower suspension arms transmit forces from the wheels to the chassis whilst allowing vertical suspension travel. During acceleration, the arms experience forward forces that load the suspension, and during braking they experience rearward forces. Cornering generates lateral forces that the arms must transfer whilst maintaining consistent track width. The geometry of these arms, including their length and mounting angle, directly affects factors such as anti-squat, anti-dive, and camber change characteristics. Built to withstand the demands of RC driving in the UK climate and terrain, these suspension arms are manufactured from durable materials capable of handling the stresses imposed by both smooth track driving and rough off-road conditions. The engineering quality ensures that replacement arms maintain the same handling characteristics as the originals, allowing drivers to continue enjoying their FTX vehicles with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are suspension arms and why do they need replacing? — Suspension arms are the structural components that connect your RC vehicle's wheels to the chassis, allowing the suspension to move up and down whilst maintaining wheel alignment. Over time, through regular driving, impacts, and stress from cornering and acceleration, these arms can crack, bend, or break completely. Replacing them restores your vehicle's handling and prevents further damage to connected components.
- Will these suspension arms fit my FTX Rokatan or Apache 2.0? — Yes, these FTX10117 suspension arms are genuine OEM parts specifically designed for the FTX Rokatan and compatible models including the Apache 2.0 and Ramraider range. They are direct replacements that require no modification to install on your existing vehicle.
- How often should I replace my suspension arms? — Suspension arm lifespan depends heavily on driving intensity and conditions. Casual weekend bashers may need replacement every 12-24 months, whilst competitive drivers or those running in demanding terrain may need replacements more frequently. Inspect your arms regularly for cracks or bending, and replace immediately if damage is visible.
- Are these a pair or a single arm? — These are supplied as a pair, meaning you receive both the left and right front lower suspension arms in a single purchase, providing a complete replacement set for the front suspension.
- What tools do I need to install these suspension arms? — Suspension arm replacement typically requires basic RC tools including a socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly an Allen key set. You may also want to have replacement ball joints or pivot pins on hand if the originals are damaged. Refer to your FTX vehicle manual for specific installation instructions.
- Can I use these arms on other RC vehicle brands? — No, these suspension arms are specifically engineered for FTX Rokatan and related models. Using them on other brands would result in poor fitment, altered handling geometry, and potential safety issues. Always use genuine replacement parts matched to your specific vehicle model.
- How do broken suspension arms affect my RC car's performance? — Broken or damaged suspension arms severely compromise handling by allowing wheels to move out of alignment, creating unpredictable steering response, poor traction, and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle may pull to one side, feel unstable during cornering, and become difficult to control. Immediate replacement is necessary for safe operation.
