Technical Performance
The FTX shock ball end is a precision-engineered suspension component manufactured to exacting standards by FTX, a recognised name in affordable yet capable ready-to-run RC vehicles. These ball ends feature a threaded design that connects to the shock shaft, allowing the shock absorber to articulate freely whilst transmitting suspension forces to the control arms. The ball joint design provides a wide range of motion, accommodating the aggressive suspension travel available on FTX buggies and trucks. Built from robust materials capable of withstanding the punishment of off-road driving, rock crawling and high-speed bashing, each ball end is engineered to maintain consistent suspension geometry over extended use. The thread pattern is precise, ensuring tight, secure fitment that eliminates rattles and wandering steering. With six units per pack, you're getting excellent value for money on genuine OEM parts that will keep your FTX Vantage, Carnage, Banzai, Outlaw or Zorro performing at its best. These suspension spares represent the kind of consumable maintenance parts that every serious RC enthusiast should keep in stock.
