Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these steering arms compatible with other FTX models?
These steering arms are specifically designed for the FTX Stinger and are not guaranteed to fit other FTX models. Please check compatibility for your specific model.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will typically need a set of precision screwdrivers and possibly Allen wrenches, depending on the screws used in your FTX Stinger's steering assembly. Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific tool requirements.
Do these arms come with all the necessary hardware?
The product description indicates it includes the parts needed for a pair of steering arms. It is recommended to check the product packaging or manual for a complete list of included hardware.
Will these arms make my steering heavier?
Aluminum is denser than plastic, so there might be a slight increase in weight. However, the benefits in durability and performance usually outweigh this minor difference for most users.
How do I clean the aluminium steering arms?
You can clean them with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Can I paint these steering arms?
While possible, painting aluminum parts for RC cars is generally not recommended as the paint can chip off during impacts. The natural finish is usually durable.
Troubleshooting
Steering feels loose after installation
Check that all linkage screws and pivot points are securely tightened. Ensure no parts are binding.
Steering arms do not fit correctly
Verify that you have the correct FTX Stinger model and that the parts are oriented correctly according to the vehicle's manual.
Difficulty in tightening screws
Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver and that the screw threads are clean. Do not force screws; they should thread smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These aluminium steering arms are designed specifically for the FTX Stinger model (item code FTX10593). Ensure your RC car is the FTX Stinger before purchase.
Setup: Installation involves carefully disassembling the existing steering assembly on your FTX Stinger. Remove the old steering arms and replace them with the new aluminum ones. Ensure all screws and linkages are properly tightened but avoid over-tightening, which could strip threads. Refer to your FTX Stinger's manual for detailed disassembly and reassembly instructions.
Care: Clean the steering arms with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the tightness of all fasteners and linkages to ensure continued optimal performance.
