Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Shock Tower Set represents precision engineering specifically tailored for the Rokatan platform. Shock towers serve as the mounting foundation for your RC car's suspension system, directly influencing how your vehicle handles cornering, acceleration, and impacts. The quality of these components directly affects suspension geometry, which in turn impacts your car's stability, traction, and overall predictability on the track or trail. FTX has engineered this shock tower set to maintain precise angles and clearances, ensuring your suspension components function at their intended geometry. This is particularly important for RC enthusiasts in the UK who operate their vehicles across varying terrain from smooth tarmac to loose gravel and muddy off-road surfaces. The durability of the materials used means the shock tower set will maintain its structural integrity through countless impacts and high-load cornering situations. Proper shock tower alignment is essential for even shock compression and extension, preventing binding and ensuring smooth suspension travel. Whether you're pushing your Rokatan to its limits in competitive racing or enjoying casual weekend bashing sessions, maintaining quality suspension components like this shock tower set ensures your vehicle continues to perform reliably and predictably.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock tower and why does my FTX Rokatan need one? — The shock tower is the structural component that houses and positions your vehicle's suspension shocks. It maintains proper suspension geometry and ensures your shocks compress and extend correctly. Over time through aggressive driving, shock towers can crack, bend, or wear, affecting your car's handling and suspension performance. Having a replacement shock tower set on hand ensures you can quickly restore your Rokatan to full performance.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, the FTX10137 is an official FTX manufacturer component, guaranteeing authentic quality, proper engineering, and perfect compatibility with your Rokatan. Genuine OEM parts ensure you receive components tested and approved by FTX engineers specifically for your model.
- How do I know if my shock towers need replacing? — Signs that your shock towers may need replacement include visible cracks or damage, uneven ride height, unpredictable handling or suspension behaviour, excessive body roll during cornering, or shocks that don't compress and extend smoothly. If you've had significant impacts or notice your Rokatan's handling has changed, inspecting your shock towers is a wise first step.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete vehicle, so it's best suited for users who already own an FTX Rokatan and have some familiarity with RC car maintenance. Beginners should start with a complete ready-to-run RC car like the Rokatan RTR version before purchasing individual spare parts.
- Will this shock tower set work on other FTX models? — No, this shock tower set is specifically designed for the FTX Rokatan platform. FTX manufactures different shock tower sets for different models including the Outback, Bugsta, and many others. Always verify you're purchasing the correct shock tower set for your specific model to ensure proper fitment.
- Can I upgrade my suspension by replacing shock towers? — Whilst shock towers themselves don't directly change suspension stiffness (that's determined by shock springs and dampening), ensuring your shock towers are in perfect condition allows your suspension to function at its intended geometry and performance level. They're also important for durability and longevity of your suspension system.
