Overview
The FTX Stinger Shock Absorbers (pr) FTX10543 are essential suspension components designed for precision on-road performance in your FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless RC car. These quality shock absorbers are engineered to provide consistent damping and responsive handling characteristics, making them a crucial upgrade or replacement part for any RC enthusiast looking to maintain peak performance on tarmac surfaces. Whether you're enjoying casual street bashing or pushing your RC car to its limits, these shocks deliver the stability and control needed for smooth, predictable driving dynamics.
As a spare part for the FTX Stinger and FTX EVO30 range, these shock absorbers represent genuine OEM components that ensure compatibility and reliable performance. If you're running an FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RTR car in grey or red, or you own an EVO30 brushed or brushless street car, having a quality pair of replacement shocks on hand is essential maintenance for any serious RC car UK enthusiast. These suspension components work in conjunction with your vehicle's suspension geometry to control body roll, absorb bumps and maintain optimal tyre contact with the road surface.
Suspension performance is critical for on-road RC cars, and the FTX Stinger Shock Absorbers deliver the damping characteristics necessary for smooth cornering and stable high-speed running. As part of the comprehensive FTX Stinger spares range available through RC Model Shop, these shocks are a genuine, authorised component that will restore your vehicle to factory specifications or provide an upgrade path for performance tuning.

Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger Shock Absorbers are precision suspension components designed specifically for on-road RC cars operating at 1/10 scale. Built with quality materials and engineering principles proven on FTX's street-focused models, these shocks are calibrated to manage the suspension travel and damping characteristics essential for smooth, predictable handling on tarmac surfaces. The shocks integrate seamlessly with the FTX Stinger's suspension geometry, working alongside components such as the upper and lower suspension arms, steering saver mechanisms and turnbuckle links to create a sophisticated suspension setup. The damping characteristics are tuned to balance body control with responsive feedback, allowing drivers to feel the vehicle's feedback whilst maintaining stability during rapid direction changes. For ready to run RC car UK users, these shocks provide the kind of performance consistency that allows you to focus on driving rather than worrying about suspension reliability. The pair supply ensures your vehicle maintains even weight distribution and handling balance across both front and rear axles.

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.

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.
