Frequently Asked Questions
Products & Quality
Every CT Race Worx part is designed and made in-house at our facility at 4801 Starcrest Drive in Monroe, NC. Whether it's a sheet metal part getting lasered and formed or a machined part coming off one of our 7 CNC machines, it's done here. We do not import, outsource, or rebrand. From raw billet to finished product, everything happens under our roof with our team of 20+ employees. We've been building off-road parts since 2007.
It depends on the application. We only use USA-sourced material. Our aluminum parts are 6061-T6511 (tow plates, X3 shock mounts) or 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum (radius rods, tie rods, tow hooks), 4130 chromoly steel (race-series radius rods, race gusset kits, chromoly A-arms), or Grade 50, 60, and 100 steel (gusset kits, trailing arms, shock mounts). Misalignment spacers use 303 or 17-4 stainless steel. Rod ends are FK Bearings — the same series of joints used in trophy trucks.
7075-T6 aluminum has nearly twice the yield strength of 6061-T6 (73,000 PSI vs 40,000 PSI). It's called aircraft-grade because it's one of the most used alloys in airplane structural components. The key difference is memory — 7075 can deflect on impact up to 15 degrees and spring back to shape, while 6061 bends permanently. CT Race Worx uses 7075-T6 in our radius rods and critical suspension components.
Our WORX Series and Tier 1 radius rods are machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum — lightweight, strong, and excellent for trail riding and recreational racing. Our Chromoly Race Series rods are made from 4130 chromoly steel. Each is stronger in different ways: chromoly can dent on impact but resists compression and pulling forces better, which matters in short course racing or dune riding, while aluminum absorbs impact without denting. Our Desert Series Maverick R radius rods are slugged with 7075 so the tube can't dent, retaining its shape and more than doubling its strength (at the cost of some added weight). For most trail riders, billet is the best choice. For dedicated race builds in the desert or short course, chromoly wins.
CT Race Worx parts are run by 50+ pro racers including Kyle Chaney (2025 KOH 4400 Unlimited Winner — the first UTV win in KOH history), Cody Miller (2x GNCC Champion, 2025 KOH Pro Mod Winner), Hunter Miller (2018 GNCC Champion — the last GNCC UTV champion in history), Phil Blurton, Bryce Menzies, and more. Our parts are raced at King of the Hammers, NORRA 1000, Ultra4, WORCS, and BITD events.
It's our best-selling product — the Bombproof Gusset Kit plus the Bombproof Front Upper Shock Mount, together at a combined price of $595. We call it cheap insurance because it reinforces the two areas on the Can-Am X3 most prone to cracking and failure. It's the first upgrade we recommend for every X3 owner, regardless of how hard they ride.
Yes. CT Race Worx was one of the first manufacturers to develop parts for the Maverick R. Our lineup includes Pro Rock High Clearance Lower A-Arms with our patented double-shear spindle mount, Pro Desert Chromoly Lower and Upper A-Arms, Pro Rock Radius Rod Kit, Trailing Arms, Water Pump Cover, and Rear Radius Rod Race Plates — a full product line to fit every need, application, and budget.
Yes. Our Polaris Pro R and Turbo R lineup includes Boxed Trailing Arms, Boxed Upper and Lower A-Arms, Billet Radius Rods, Front Gusset Kit, Differential Brackets, Suspension Hardware Kit, A-Arm Bushings, Lower Spindle Pins, and Billet Radius Rod Plates with Tow Ring — all CNC-machined in Monroe, NC with a lifetime warranty.
A double-shear spindle mount is a CT Race Worx patented innovation for the Can-Am Maverick R. The factory uses a single-shear design where the ball joint stud passes through only one side of the knuckle. Our design passes the bolt through the knuckle and into our bracket, giving the uniball firm support on both sides — distributing the load across two planes and effectively doubling the shear strength.
Fitment & Compatibility
Every product listing includes the exact year, make, and model it fits. You can also use our Year-Make-Model search tool on the homepage to filter by your specific vehicle. If you're unsure, call us at 704-684-5618 and we'll confirm fitment in about 30 seconds.
In most cases, yes. Our parts are designed to work with stock geometry and most popular aftermarket setups. If you're running a major lift kit, long-travel suspension, or aftermarket axles, call us at 704-684-5618 and we'll confirm compatibility.
Most CT Race Worx X3 parts fit all model years from 2017 to 2025. Some parts are specific to certain model year ranges due to chassis changes — each product listing specifies the exact years it fits.
Ordering & Shipping
Most in-stock items ship within 2-3 business days from our Monroe, NC facility. Delivery typically takes 1-5 business days depending on your location. Items not in stock typically have a lead time of 1-3 weeks; bare parts can ship faster. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
No — shipping is at all-time highs and we simply pass on the cost we're paying. UPS is our primary shipping method; USPS is used for smaller items when UPS rates are higher than normal, but USPS delivery times shouldn't be relied on if you need something quickly.
If your order hasn't shipped, we can change or update it. If a part is at powder coating, that can cause delays. If it's a specialty item already in production, changes may be limited and cancellation may be subject to a restocking or processing fee.
Some parts are made-to-order or may be temporarily out of stock — the product page will note if an item is backordered. You can still place the order to secure your spot, and we'll email you an estimated ship date.

No. The lifetime warranty covers the original purchaser only and does not transfer to a new owner.
Installation
Yes — most CT Race Worx parts are designed for bolt-on installation with basic hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge. Some components, like the Chromoly Race Gusset Kit, require professional TIG welding for maximum reliability. PDF installation guides are available on our Installation Instructions page.
Yes, nearly anytime. Call 704-684-5618 during business hours or use the website chat. Our team has installed every part we sell and will walk you through the process over the phone.
Most bolt-on installations require a metric socket set, wrenches, a torque wrench, and a jack with jack stands. Some bushing and ball joint replacements may require a press. Specific tool requirements are listed in each installation guide — nothing requires specialty tools.
