Complete the metal upgrade of your drift car's front end with this Aluminum Front Lower Suspension Arm Set. Like the upper arms you just looked at, these are designed specifically for the Redcat RDS (Rear Wheel Drive Drift Sport) platform.
While the upper arms control camber, these lower arms take the brunt of the suspension force. Upgrading to CNC-machined aluminum eliminates the flex inherent in the stock plastic arms. In a precision sport like drifting, removing that flex ensures your suspension geometry (track width and roll center) remains exactly where you set it, even when the car is sideways under load.
Key Features
-
CNC Aluminum: Precision machined for a perfect fit and high-strength rigidity.
-
Improved Response: By stiffening the lower suspension assembly, the car reacts faster to steering inputs and settles more quickly during transitions (switching from left drift to right drift).
-
Direct Fit: Designed as a drop-in replacement for the factory plastic RDS lower arms.
-
Aesthetics: Features a premium anodized finish (typically Red to match the RDS Pro theme) that looks incredible on the chassis.

Installation Advice
Protect the Pivot Balls: When installing these arms:
-
Threadlock: Just like the upper arms, you MUST use Blue Threadlocker on any screw that threads into this metal arm (e.g., shock mounting screws or droop screws).
-
Droop Screws: These arms usually have threaded holes for "Droop Screws" (downstop screws). These little grub screws press against the chassis to limit how far the arm hangs down. Make sure to set these correctly!
-
If set too loose: The suspension droops too much, and the springs might fall out of their cups.
-
If set too tight: You lose suspension travel, and the car will struggle to find grip on uneven surfaces.
