Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Front Arm Mount 2pc FTLS08BK

Overview

The Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Front Arm Mount (2pc) is an essential upgrade for owners of the popular Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy and 1/28 Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck. If you're serious about getting the best performance from your RC car UK hobby, this precision-engineered component represents a significant step up from standard plastic parts. The Fastrax upgrade programme has become synonymous with quality enhancement for micro-scale RC vehicles, and this front arm mount is no exception. Whether you're a seasoned racer looking to fine-tune your micro buggy or someone new to the hobby wanting to improve reliability and handling characteristics, this aluminium replacement will transform how your model performs on the track and terrain.

Constructed from premium aluminium alloy, this two-piece front arm mount delivers superior durability and rigidity compared to the stock plastic alternatives. The material choice isn't arbitrary—aluminium provides the perfect balance between weight savings and structural integrity, crucial factors in micro-scale RC engineering where even grams matter. This upgrade is ideal for bashers who want their Micro-B or Micro-T to withstand aggressive driving, competitors seeking marginal gains in precision handling, and enthusiasts who simply want the most robust setup possible. The professional-grade construction ensures that whether you're hitting jumps, tackling tight corners, or pushing your micro RC car to its limits, these arm mounts will maintain consistent geometry and performance.

RC Model Shop stocks this Fastrax component as part of our commitment to providing the full range of performance upgrades and tuning options for every scale RC vehicle. As an authorised Fastrax dealer, we ensure every product meets the highest standards and is backed by genuine manufacturer support. This is precisely the kind of upgrade that separates a standard ready-to-run RC car from a truly capable micro-scale performer.

Key Features

• Premium Aluminium Construction — Machined from high-grade aluminium alloy, these arm mounts provide exceptional rigidity and durability that dramatically outlasts plastic alternatives, maintaining perfect geometry even under the most aggressive driving conditions and repeated impacts.
• Two-Piece Configuration — The pair includes both front arm mounts needed for complete front suspension setup, ensuring your Micro-B or Micro-T has perfectly matched components for balanced handling and predictable performance characteristics.
• Direct OEM Compatibility — Designed as a drop-in replacement for the Losi Micro-B 2WD Buggy and Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge and standard hex tools.
• Enhanced Precision — The tight tolerances and smooth finish of aluminium construction mean suspension arms locate precisely in the mounts, translating directly to more responsive steering input and predictable cornering behaviour on the track.
• Weight Optimisation — Aluminium is significantly lighter than plastic whilst remaining stronger, contributing to improved overall vehicle dynamics, quicker weight transfer during cornering, and more lively handling responses.
• Long-Term Value — As part of a complete Fastrax upgrade pathway, these mounts work in concert with other aluminium components to transform your Micro-B or Micro-T into a genuinely competitive micro-scale platform.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Losi Micro-B Aluminium Front Arm Mount represents the kind of engineering refinement that professional micro-scale RC enthusiasts demand. At the micro scale—1/24 for the Micro-B and 1/28 for the Micro-T—precision becomes exponentially more critical. Every fraction of a millimetre of flex or deflection in the suspension geometry translates into noticeable handling changes. Aluminium's superior rigidity means these mounts resist the lateral forces generated during aggressive cornering and maintain perfect arm angles through complex suspension travel. The material choice also provides genuine durability benefits; whilst plastic parts can crack, splinter, or develop permanent deflection after countless impacts, aluminium's crystalline structure allows it to absorb energy and return to true dimensions repeatedly. The two-piece design ensures that whether you're running on smooth carpet, loose dirt, or mixed terrain, your front suspension geometry remains consistent lap after lap. These mounts are engineered to work seamlessly with the rest of the Micro-B and Micro-T platform, maintaining the precise pivot points that allow stock suspension geometry to deliver its intended performance. For anyone building a comprehensive upgrade path—and Fastrax offers shock towers, caster blocks, lower suspension arms, and other components—these front arm mounts form a critical foundation for handling refinement.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these aluminium front arm mounts fit my Losi Micro-B or Micro-T? — Yes, these Fastrax mounts are engineered as direct replacements for the Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy RTR (available in white or silver variants) and the Losi 1/28 Micro-T 2WD RTR Stadium Truck (white or silver models). They are drop-in replacements requiring no modification or drilling.
• What's the advantage of upgrading from plastic to aluminium arm mounts? — Aluminium provides superior rigidity that maintains precise suspension geometry, improved durability that resists cracking and permanent deflection, and slightly reduced unsprung weight that improves handling response. If you're doing any serious driving—whether racing or aggressive bashing—these upgrades noticeably improve consistency and longevity.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst these are technically an upgrade component, installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable using basic RC hex tools. If you've done any suspension work on a ready-to-run RC car UK model, you'll find these simple to fit. They're also an excellent choice for beginners who want to build reliability into their setup from the start.
• Can I use these with other Fastrax upgrades? — Yes, these front arm mounts work excellently as part of a complete Fastrax upgrade package. Fastrax produces matching shock towers, caster blocks, lower suspension arms, and other components that all work together to create a comprehensive performance platform for your Micro-B or Micro-T.
• How do these compare to stock plastic mounts? — Stock plastic mounts are lighter and adequate for casual driving, but flex under load and can crack after impacts. Fastrax aluminium mounts maintain rigid geometry under all driving conditions, resist impact damage, and ultimately provide better handling precision and longer service life. If you're upgrading, you'll notice immediately tighter, more responsive cornering.
• What's the correct installation procedure? — These are direct replacements. Remove the two original plastic arm mounts using your hex key (typically 1.5mm or 2mm depending on fastener size), transfer the suspension arms and any shims or spacers to the new aluminium mounts, then reinstall. Ensure fasteners are appropriately tightened without over-torquing the relatively thin aluminium.
