Overview
The FTX Outback 3 Pivot Ball 2mm Screw (8pc) is an essential replacement spare part for owners of the FTX Outback 3 series RC crawlers. This precision-engineered chassis component is specifically designed to maintain the pivoting ball joint connections that are critical to the suspension and steering geometry of your 1/10 scale trail crawler.

As a UK RC car enthusiast, you know that maintaining your RC crawler with genuine OEM spare parts is the best way to preserve performance, handling characteristics and longevity.

This pack contains eight replacement 2mm pivot ball screws, giving you multiple spares to keep your ready to run RC crawler operational throughout an extended session or to stock your spare parts box for future maintenance. Available now from RC Model Shop, these genuine FTX spares represent excellent value and peace of mind for any serious RC crawler owner in the UK.

The FTX Outback 3 Pivot Ball 2mm Screw represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demanding requirements of 1/10 scale trail crawler operation.
