Overview
The FTX Rally Front Aluminium Suspension Arm Mount (FTX11320) is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for FTX Rally MK2RS models and compatible RC vehicles. This precision-engineered suspension component represents a significant step up from the standard plastic parts that come with many off-road RC cars and buggies. If you're serious about improving your RC car's handling, durability and steering response, this CNC-machined aluminium upgrade is an essential addition to your collection. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to enhance your ride in the UK or a hobbyist wanting better performance from your existing setup, this suspension arm mount delivers the reliability and precision that serious RC drivers demand.
Built from high-quality aluminium and precision CNC-machined for exact tolerances, this front suspension holder replaces the fragile plastic components that come stock on many FTX models. The upgrade path from plastic to aluminium suspension parts is one of the most popular modifications made by RC enthusiasts, and for good reason – it dramatically improves suspension stability, steering precision and overall vehicle longevity. Users across the UK have reported that stock plastic suspension arms snap far too easily during aggressive driving and racing conditions, making this upgrade not just a nice-to-have but a genuine necessity for anyone pushing their RC vehicle to its limits.
This is the perfect upgrade for anyone running an FTX Rally MK2RS or any compatible FTX model. The lightweight aluminium design helps maintain vehicle balance whilst providing substantially greater strength and resistance to bending or breaking during high-impact driving. RC Model Shop stocks this component in the UK, with fast delivery available for customers nationwide.
Key Features
- Precision CNC-Machined Aluminium Construction — Every component is machined to exact specifications using computer-controlled equipment, ensuring consistent quality, perfect fitment and superior durability compared to injection-moulded plastic parts that can warp or bend over time.
- Direct Replacement for Front Suspension Holders — This part is engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for the stock plastic suspension arms on FTX Rally MK2RS and compatible models, requiring no modification or adjustment to your vehicle – simply remove the old part and install the new one.
- Improved Suspension Stability and Steering Response — The rigid aluminium construction eliminates the flex and movement inherent in plastic parts, resulting in more predictable handling, better cornering performance and improved steering feedback that responsive drivers will immediately notice.
- Lightweight Design for Optimal Vehicle Balance — Despite being substantially stronger than plastic, aluminium is significantly lighter than many alternative materials, helping to maintain your vehicle's centre of gravity and ensuring weight distribution remains optimal for better acceleration and handling characteristics.
- Resistant to Bending and Breaking During Aggressive Driving — The high-strength aluminium material can withstand the rigorous demands of off-road driving, jumping, bashing and racing without the permanent deformation or catastrophic snapping that plague plastic components during hard use.
- Professional-Grade Quality for Serious RC Drivers — Whether you're a racer competing in organised events or a dedicated hobbyist who enjoys pushing your RC car to the limit, this component meets the durability standards expected by serious RC enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.
Technical Performance
The FTX11320 front aluminium suspension arm mount represents a significant engineering upgrade over standard plastic components. Manufactured from premium-grade aluminium using precision CNC machining processes, this suspension holder delivers the exact geometry and tolerances required for optimal FTX Rally MK2RS performance. The material selection is crucial – aluminium offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that is simply impossible to achieve with plastic mouldings. Where plastic suspension arms flex and deform under load, causing handling inconsistencies and eventual failure through stress cracking or catastrophic breakage, this aluminium component maintains perfect rigidity and alignment throughout its service life. The CNC machining process ensures that every part produced meets identical specifications, eliminating the variability that often occurs with injection-moulded plastic parts. Customer feedback from across the UK has consistently shown that upgrading from plastic to aluminium suspension holders transforms vehicle handling, eliminates steering slop, and dramatically extends the service life of your RC vehicle. The lightweight nature of aluminium is particularly important – it adds strength without adding significant weight, helping to maintain your vehicle's agility and responsiveness. This is the kind of upgrade that transforms a weekend basher into a genuinely capable off-road performer, and a capable vehicle into a competitive racing machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models is the FTX11320 suspension arm mount compatible with? — The FTX11320 is specifically designed for the FTX Rally MK2RS. However, suspension components are often cross-compatible across FTX's range, and this part may fit other FTX models that use similar suspension geometry. We recommend checking compatibility with our team before ordering if you're unsure about your specific model.
- Will this improve my RC car's handling and steering response? — Yes, significantly. The rigid aluminium construction eliminates the flex present in plastic components, resulting in more consistent steering input, better cornering stability and improved feedback from the suspension. Users consistently report noticeably sharper handling after upgrading to aluminium suspension components.
- How much stronger is aluminium compared to the stock plastic parts? — Aluminium is substantially stronger and more resistant to bending and breaking. Many UK RC drivers report that stock plastic suspension arms snap regularly during aggressive driving, whereas the aluminium upgrade eliminates this problem entirely, even during hard racing conditions and jumping.
- Is this difficult to install on my FTX Rally MK2RS? — No, the FTX11320 is designed as a direct replacement for the stock plastic suspension holder, requiring no modification to your vehicle. It's simply a case of removing the old plastic component and installing this aluminium part in its place – a task that most RC enthusiasts can complete in minutes with basic tools.
- Why do serious RC racers upgrade to aluminium suspension components? — Professional and competitive RC drivers upgrade to aluminium suspension parts because they provide better handling precision, improved durability under race conditions, and eliminate the uncertainty caused by flex in plastic components. For racing applications where hundredths of a second matter, this upgrade can make a genuine difference to lap times and overall performance.
- Will the aluminium suspension arm mount help if my plastic suspension keeps breaking? — Absolutely. If you're experiencing repeated breakage of your stock plastic suspension arms, upgrading to this CNC-machined aluminium component will solve the problem. The increased strength and resistance to impact damage means you'll spend far more time driving and far less time repairing or replacing suspension parts.
- Is this component suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an ideal first upgrade for any RC enthusiast. Upgrading plastic suspension components to aluminium dramatically improves vehicle longevity and handling with zero downside. Even casual drivers will notice the improvement, and the part is simple to install. It's one of the most popular and recommended upgrades in the RC hobby.
