Overview
The FTX Rokatan Complete Shock Set (4) is an essential upgrade and replacement component for FTX RC models, specifically designed to maintain optimal suspension performance on your RC car. Whether you are an experienced RC enthusiast looking to refresh worn suspension components or a dedicated RC hobbyist in the UK seeking quality replacement parts, this complete shock set delivers reliable performance and durability. FTX has built a strong reputation as a manufacturer of quality RC vehicles and accessories, and this shock set exemplifies their commitment to providing genuine, precision-engineered spare parts for the RC hobby community.
This complete shock set contains four shock absorbers, providing everything needed to fully refresh your vehicle's suspension system. Suspension is critical to RC car performance, affecting handling, stability, and overall driving experience across various terrains. When shocks wear out, your RC car's performance deteriorates significantly. Installing a fresh set of quality shocks restores your ready to run RC car or race kit to peak condition, making this an important maintenance item for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK.
Compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 range, including both the Red and Blue variants of the 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck RTR model, this shock set ensures perfect fitment and OEM-quality performance. Whether you bash your RC car at weekends or compete in organised events, maintaining your suspension with genuine FTX components is essential for consistent results.
Key Features
- Complete Four-Shock Set — This package includes all four shock absorbers required to fully replace your vehicle's suspension system, eliminating the need to purchase shocks individually and ensuring perfectly matched suspension geometry across front and rear axles.
- OEM FTX Engineering — Manufactured to the exact specifications established by FTX for the Rokatan platform, guaranteeing compatibility, durability and performance characteristics that match your vehicle's original design intent.
- Direct FTX Apache 2.0 Compatibility — Specifically engineered for the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck RTR range, providing seamless fitment and optimal suspension tuning without modification or adaptation.
- Suspension System Refresh — Worn or damaged shocks severely compromise RC car handling, cornering stability and jump landing performance, making shock replacement a critical maintenance task for maintaining peak driving experience.
- Quality Replacement Parts — As genuine FTX spare parts, these shocks deliver the same build quality, materials and engineering precision found in new FTX vehicles, ensuring long service life and consistent performance.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Complete Shock Set represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of RC car suspension systems. Shock absorbers are fundamental to RC vehicle performance, responsible for managing vertical movement, maintaining tyre contact with the surface, and absorbing impacts from jumps, rough terrain and obstacles. The complete four-shock configuration ensures balanced suspension geometry, with matched spring rates and damping characteristics across all four corners of your RC car. This balanced approach is essential for predictable handling, consistent cornering performance, and reliable jump landing characteristics. FTX has engineered these shocks with the specific performance envelope of the Rokatan platform in mind, meaning they deliver optimal damping characteristics, appropriate spring rates, and durable construction suitable for both casual bashing and competitive RC driving. The shocks are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring that all four units perform identically, which is critical for suspension tuning and predictable vehicle behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models are compatible with the Rokatan Complete Shock Set? — This shock set is specifically designed for the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck RTR, available in both Red (FTX5498V2R) and Blue (FTX5498V2B) variants. Always check compatibility before purchasing replacement parts to ensure correct fitment and performance.
- Why do I need to replace my RC car shocks? — Shock absorbers wear out over time due to regular use, jumping, and exposure to dirt and moisture. Worn shocks lose damping effectiveness, resulting in poor handling, reduced stability, and inconsistent vehicle behaviour. Replacing them with a complete set like the Rokatan shock set restores suspension performance and improves driving experience significantly.
- How often should I replace my RC car shocks? — The frequency depends on how intensively you use your RC car. Casual weekend bashers might replace shocks annually, whilst competitive drivers or those who frequently jump may need replacement more often. Regular inspection of shocks for oil leakage, dents, or loss of damping will help you determine when replacement is necessary.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, the FTX Rokatan Complete Shock Set (4) FTX10131 is a genuine OEM FTX spare part, manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as the shocks included in new FTX vehicles. Purchasing genuine parts ensures compatibility, reliability and optimal performance.
- Can I use these shocks on other RC car brands? — No, these shocks are specifically designed for FTX Rokatan platform vehicles. Using them on incompatible models may result in poor fitment, incorrect suspension geometry, and compromised performance. Always use model-specific shock sets for your particular RC car.
- What tools do I need to install these shocks? — Most shock installation requires basic RC tools including hex keys (allen keys), screwdrivers, and potentially shock tools for adjustment. Your FTX vehicle's manual will provide detailed installation instructions. If you are unfamiliar with RC maintenance, consider seeking assistance from an experienced RC enthusiast or your local RC shop.
