The CEN Racing Ford F450 is a 1/10 scale 4WD dually: a licensed Ford Super Duty with wide rear fenders and twin rear wheels on each side. It comes ready to run, and it's one of the best-supported scale trucks for upgrades. This guide covers the parts F450 owners buy most, from bumpers and wheels to axles, lift kits and steering, plus the stock replacement parts worth keeping on hand.
Know your F450 before you buy parts
CEN's F450 parts are listed for the DL-Series chassis, and many KAOS parts are shared with CEN's Q and MT series trucks. The current RTR is the F450 Dually KG1 Edition, which comes in Blue Galaxy, Grey Titanium, Silver Mercury and Red Candy Apple. It has brushed power, a 2.4GHz radio, and a battery and charger in the box.
One thing matters more than anything else when you shop: is your truck stock height or lifted? Some parts, like the KAOS 25T servo horn saver, fit only the standard, non-lifted F450. Check the fitment notes on each listing, or use our Parts Finder and choose CEN Racing F450 to see parts that fit.
Bumpers and armor
Bumpers are the most popular first upgrade because they change the look of the truck right away. CEN's front and rear bumper sets fit both the F250 and F450, and they come in factory-matched colors. The colors are Matte Silver, Blue Galaxy, Grey Titanium, Candy Apple Red, Silver Chrome, Burnt Copper and Daytona Blue.
- Matte Silver bumper set (CKD0496) and Blue Galaxy bumper set (CKD0493)
- Aluminum front skid plate for the modded bumper
- KAOS strengthened bumper crossmember in gunmetal grey, a tougher replacement for the stock crossmember
- Stock replacement: the black molded front and rear bumper set (CD450)
Wheels, hubs and lugs
The dually look is mostly about the wheels. The KG1 Forged KD014 Trident-D wheels come in front and rear versions and several widths and finishes, including 35mm and 31mm chrome and 40mm bronze or black. There are also American Force H01 Contra wheels for the DL-Series.
- Trident-D 40mm bronze front wheels and Trident-D 37mm rear wheels
- CNC aluminum adjustable wheel hubs to fine-tune track width
- Bullet wheel lugs in silver chrome or black chrome, and Silver Bullet spiked lugs, each a set of 40 with a tool
- Chrome wheel caps for KG1 Trident wheels, and Fury M/T tires for the DL-Series
When you change wheels, check which hex hubs they need. KG1 wheels use their own front and rear hex hubs, which are listed separately.
Axles, links and drivetrain
For trucks that get driven hard, aluminum axle housings are the biggest durability upgrade. The Racers Edge sets replace both stock plastic housings with CNC-machined aluminum, and they come in black or silver.
- KAOS aluminum front links (69mm) and rear links (117mm)
- KAOS CNC 3rd link mount, panhard lower mount and sway bar for the DL-Series
- KAOS aluminum steering knuckles and rear straight axle adapters for Q, MT and DL series
- KAOS front and rear center universal joint shafts
Lift kits and chassis
The KAOS F-450 Super Duty lift conversion kit (CKD1000) turns a stock truck into a lifted showpiece. It includes aluminum side plates, 110mm aluminum shocks and a Watt link suspension that keeps the axle centered through its travel. It fits the F-450 SD only. Pair it with the KAOS CNC aluminum chassis plate set for lifted F250 and F450 chassis.
Steering and servo
Big dually tires put a lot of load on the steering. The KAOS CNC aluminum 25T servo horn saver absorbs impacts to protect your servo. It fits standard, non-lifted DL-Series trucks only, and it needs a servo with a 25T spline. If you're upgrading the servo itself, browse our Servos collection and read Understanding RC Servos to pick the right size and torque.
Towing and scale details
A dually is built to tow, and CEN makes the hardware for it:
- KAOS two-way adjustable aluminum tow hitch for the F250 and F450
- KAOS aluminum tow hitch with 5.8mm pivot ball
- Gooseneck quick connector adapter with a 6.3mm ball
- F-450 body accessories set with mirrors and lights, and the F-450 decal sheet
Stock parts worth keeping on hand
- Drive shafts: front center (105mm) and the rear center and intermediate shafts
- 3rd link and panhard mount (CD412) and body posts
- front and rear wheel hex hubs for the DL-Series
- 32 pitch 56T spur gear, 32 pitch 10T steel pinion and angled hood pins
- A front clear Lexan body if you want to paint your own

Quick answers
Do F250 parts fit the F450? Some do. Bumper sets, the front skid plate, the two-way tow hitch and the lifted chassis plate set are listed for both. Check each listing's fitment.
Will the servo horn saver fit my lifted F450? No. The KAOS 25T servo horn saver fits standard, non-lifted DL-Series trucks only.
What's the best first upgrade? For looks, a color-matched bumper set and new lugs. For durability, aluminum axle housings and the strengthened bumper crossmember.
Do new wheels need new hubs? Often, yes. KG1 wheels use their own front and rear hex hubs, so check the wheel listing before you order.
