Overview
The FTX Shock Ball Ends (6) are essential replacement suspension components designed for a range of popular FTX RC models. Whether you're running an FTX Vantage, Carnage, Banzai, Outlaw or Zorro, these shock ball ends are the perfect spare parts to keep your RC car UK experience running smoothly. As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine OEM replacement parts that ensure your ready to run RC vehicle maintains its performance and handling characteristics. Shock ball ends are critical suspension components that connect your shock absorbers to the suspension arms, allowing smooth up-and-down movement whilst maintaining steering geometry and ride height.
If you're a serious RC enthusiast, weekend basher, or someone who enjoys pushing their RC buggy or truck to the limits, having spare shock ball ends on hand is essential maintenance. Over time, through regular use and aggressive driving, ball ends can wear, develop play, or become damaged during impacts. With this pack of six replacement FTX shock ball ends, you'll have enough spares to service multiple vehicles or keep your current model running at peak performance. The FTX6500 is the perfect addition to your spares box, ensuring you're never left stranded when a shock ball end fails mid-session.
These are genuine FTX manufacturer parts, not cheap imitations, which means you can trust the quality and fitment when replacing worn components on your FTX RC cars. Whether you drive an electric brushed or brushless FTX model, these suspension spares are compatible with multiple platform variants, making them a versatile choice for anyone with more than one FTX vehicle in their collection.

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.
