Additional Information -

FTX MIGHTY THUNDER/KANYON ALUMINIUM REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING LINKS

Suspension Links / Arms Upgrade

Upper Suspension Links

FTX8313 - Stock Upper Link (plastic)

• Standard plastic upper suspension link used on FTX Kanyon and Mighty Thunder.

• Provides basic suspension articulation but can flex under load or heavy crawling conditions.

• Important:Uses stock screws for installation.

FTX8462 - Aluminium Upper Link (upgrade from FTX8313)

• Aluminium replacement for the stock plastic upper link, offeringimproved strength and rigidity.

• Reduces flex during suspension travel, improving steering precision and stability on rough terrain.

• Important:Suppliedwithout screws- uses stock hardware.

Lower Suspension Links

FTX8323 - Stock Lower Link (plastic)

• Standard plastic lower suspension link for the FTX Kanyon and Mighty Thunder.

• Supports chassis weight and allows suspension movement; susceptible to bending under extreme load.

• Important:Uses stock screws for installation.

FTX8460 - Aluminium Lower Link (upgrade from FTX8323)

• Aluminium replacement for the stock lower link, providinggreater durability and stiffness.

• Helps maintain suspension geometry under heavy use and improves handling on challenging surfaces.

• Important:Suppliedwithout screws- uses stock hardware.

Other Parts of Interest

• FTX8381 - Alloy Rear Link Holder: Stronger rear link holder replacement for improved suspension durability.

• FTX8386 - Alloy Front Link Holder: Front link mount upgrade to aluminium, increasing axle rigidity and reducing flex.

• Aluminium link mounts are compatible with the upgraded upper and lower suspension links, providing a fully reinforced suspension setup.

• These parts are suppliedwithout screwsand use the stock hardware.

Other Considerations During Suspension Upgrades

• Upgrading bothupper and lower links to aluminiumsignificantly improves suspension reliability, particularly for off-road crawling or jumps.

• Pairing aluminium links with alloy link mounts (FTX8381/FTX8386) creates a stronger and more consistent suspension geometry.

• Ensure proper alignment when installing aluminium links and mounts to avoid binding or incorrect suspension geometry.

• The stock screws are compatible with all these upgrades, so no extra hardware is usually needed.
