Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — These rear lower suspension arms are manufactured from aluminium alloy, providing exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that improves handling response and durability compared to plastic components, whilst keeping the overall weight of your RC monster truck optimised for performance.
- Direct Compatibility — Specifically engineered to fit FTX Ramraider 1/10 Monster Truck models in both brushed and brushless editions, as well as the FTX Rokatan platform, ensuring perfect fitment without any modifications or compatibility issues.
- Pair Configuration — This product includes both left and right rear lower suspension arms, providing complete coverage for the rear suspension geometry and allowing for balanced, consistent handling across both sides of your RC vehicle.
- OEM Replacement Standard — These arms meet FTX's original equipment manufacturer specifications, making them perfect for repairing damaged suspension components or upgrading from factory plastic arms to higher-performance aluminium alternatives.
- Enhanced Durability — The robust aluminium construction resists cracking and breaking during aggressive driving, jumps, and rough terrain navigation, extending the lifespan of your suspension system compared to plastic lower arms.
- Professional-Grade Engineering — Precision manufactured to maintain exact tolerances, ensuring your suspension geometry remains true and your RC car handling stays predictable and responsive through every manoeuvre.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan/Ramraider Rear Aluminium Lower Suspension Arm represents FTX's commitment to delivering aftermarket components that exceed stock performance expectations. Built from high-grade aluminium alloy rather than injection-moulded plastic, these suspension arms provide substantially improved rigidity whilst maintaining the lightweight properties essential for 1/10 scale RC monster truck performance. The aluminium construction enhances overall chassis stiffness when installed as a pair, resulting in more precise steering response, better traction control during acceleration and braking, and improved handling stability during high-speed cornering and jumps. The engineering tolerances are held to tight specifications, ensuring compatibility with existing FTX suspension linkages, shock towers, and hub carriers. Whether you're operating your Ramraider or Rokatan in brushed electric or brushless electric configuration, these arms provide the structural support necessary to handle the torque delivery and suspension loads generated by either drivetrain option. The material properties of the aluminium alloy used in these arms provide excellent fatigue resistance, meaning they won't gradually weaken over time through repeated suspension articulation during normal driving. This makes them an exceptional value proposition for RC car enthusiasts in the UK seeking to upgrade their factory suspension geometry to competition-grade components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these aluminium suspension arms fit my FTX Ramraider? — Yes, these rear lower suspension arms (FTX10099) are engineered specifically for FTX Ramraider models including the brushed edition (FTX5499OB and FTX5499SB) and brushless editions (FTX5497GB and FTX5497RB). They also fit the FTX Rokatan platform. They provide a direct replacement for factory components with no modifications needed.
- What's the advantage of aluminium over plastic suspension arms? — Aluminium offers superior strength and rigidity whilst maintaining a lightweight profile, meaning your suspension geometry stays consistent through hard driving, jumps, and rough terrain. Plastic arms can flex and crack under stress, whilst aluminium resists deformation and provides better handling response and durability for both casual bashing and more intensive RC driving.
- Are these suspension arms suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These suspension arms are straightforward replacement parts with simple bolt-on installation. Even novice RC enthusiasts can install them using basic tools. They're not performance upgrades that require tuning knowledge — they're direct replacements that immediately improve durability and handling.
- Do I need to purchase anything else to install these arms? — These aluminium lower suspension arms come as a complete pair ready for installation. You'll need basic tools like a hex wrench or screwdriver, depending on your RC Ramraider or Rokatan's fastener types. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific torque specifications if you're unfamiliar with suspension work.
- Why would I upgrade from plastic arms to these aluminium arms? — If you're experiencing arm breakage, flex in your suspension geometry, or inconsistent handling, upgrading to aluminium dramatically improves durability and performance. Many RC enthusiasts in the UK consider aluminium suspension arms a worthwhile investment for long-term reliability and better handling characteristics through rough terrain and jumps.
