Overview
The FTX Tracer Shock Absorbers (pr) FTX9711 are essential suspension components designed specifically for FTX Tracer 1/16 scale RC vehicles. Whether you own an FTX Tracer Monster Truck or Truggy, these replacement shock absorbers are the perfect solution for maintaining optimal suspension performance. As a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK, you understand how crucial quality suspension is to your vehicle's handling, comfort and durability both on and off road. These genuine FTX shock absorbers deliver the reliable performance you need to keep your RC car running smoothly.
Replacement parts like shock absorbers are essential consumables in the RC hobby. Over time, shocks can lose their damping properties, wear out, or become damaged through normal use and impacts during driving sessions. Having a pair of quality replacement shock absorbers on hand ensures you can quickly restore your FTX Tracer to peak performance without lengthy downtime. Whether you bash casually in the garden, take part in local RC clubs, or race competitively, maintaining your suspension components is key to enjoying your ready to run RC vehicle.
RC Model Shop stocks the FTX Tracer Shock Absorbers as part of our comprehensive range of FTX replacement parts and spares. We understand that keeping your RC car in top condition requires access to genuine, quality components at fair prices. These shocks are compatible with multiple FTX Tracer variants, making them a versatile addition to your spares box.

Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Shock Absorbers represent quality suspension engineering designed for the FTX Tracer 1/16 scale RC platform. As suspension spares, these components are critical to maintaining your vehicle's ability to absorb impacts, maintain traction, and provide stable handling across various driving surfaces. The shocks are engineered to work within the suspension geometry and ride height specifications of the FTX Tracer chassis, whether you're running the standard 4WD Monster Truck configuration or the Truggy variant. Quality shock absorbers like these maintain consistent damping rates, preventing excessive body roll during cornering and ensuring the suspension remains responsive through jumps and rough terrain. For UK RC enthusiasts who enjoy both casual bashing and more spirited driving sessions, having reliable shock absorbers fitted ensures your RC car delivers predictable, controlled performance.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
