Frequently Asked Questions
- What are lower front wishbones and why do I need them? — Lower front wishbones are suspension control arms that maintain the geometry and ride height of your RC car's front end. They connect the chassis to the suspension and wheels, and they directly influence how your vehicle handles, grips, and performs. If your original wishbones are bent, cracked, or damaged from crashes or wear, replacing them restores your car's handling characteristics and ensures safe, predictable performance on the track or terrain.
- How do I know if my wishbones need replacing? — Signs that your lower front wishbones may need replacement include visible bending or cracks, uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side during acceleration or cornering, or degraded handling after a crash. Even minor bends can affect suspension geometry and cause performance issues that impact lap times and driving consistency.
