Overview
The FTX Rokatan Springs (2) FTX10147 are essential replacement suspension components designed for the FTX Rokatan RC crawler platform. These springs are precision-engineered to maintain optimal suspension performance and ride quality on your RC model. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK or a weekend basher looking to keep your RC car in top condition, having quality replacement springs on hand ensures your vehicle performs consistently across different terrain and driving conditions. Springs are critical suspension components that gradually wear and lose their stiffness over time with regular use, making them one of the most frequently replaced parts in any RC crawler or off-road vehicle.
As a crucial hop-up and maintenance part for the FTX Rokatan platform, these springs are compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck, making them suitable for both stock setups and upgraded configurations. The Rokatan is renowned in the RC community for its excellent off-road performance and aggressive styling, and maintaining your suspension with genuine FTX replacement springs ensures you preserve the handling characteristics and responsiveness that make this model so popular. These springs work in conjunction with the shock tower assemblies and suspension arm mounts to deliver the smooth, controlled suspension articulation that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
Purchasing quality OEM replacement springs from an authorised UK RC retailer means you're getting components that have been engineered and tested to work seamlessly with your FTX Rokatan platform. Rather than settling for generic springs that may not match the exact specifications and stiffness values of your original components, these FTX-branded springs are designed to deliver consistent performance and durability. Whether you're replacing worn springs after extensive use or upgrading your suspension setup with multiple sets for different terrains, the FTX Rokatan Springs (2) represent excellent value and reliability.
Key Features
- OEM FTX Specification — These springs are manufactured to the original FTX Rokatan specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your suspension system and maintaining the intended handling balance of your RC crawler or trophy truck.

- Essential Wear Item — Springs are among the most frequently replaced components in RC suspension systems due to gradual stiffness loss and material fatigue from constant compression and extension cycles during off-road driving.
- Performance Reliability — Maintaining original OEM springs ensures your suspension system continues to deliver the responsive, predictable handling that FTX engineers intended when designing the Rokatan platform.
- Affordable Maintenance — At just £4.99, these springs represent genuine value for essential maintenance parts that keep your RC investment performing at its best.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Springs (2) are precision-manufactured suspension components engineered to deliver consistent spring rates and damping characteristics across countless compression and extension cycles. Springs lose their effectiveness gradually with extended use, and when yours start to feel softer or less responsive on challenging terrain, replacement becomes necessary to restore the suspension geometry and ride height that affects your RC crawler's handling. These springs work as part of the complete Rokatan suspension system, which includes shock towers, suspension arm mounts, shock plastic parts, shock shafts, and hinge pins—all designed to work together to provide smooth, controlled articulation over rocks, roots, and uneven off-road surfaces. The quality of the spring material and the precision of the manufacturing process directly impact how your RC vehicle responds to terrain, how quickly it recovers from impacts, and how well it maintains traction through technical sections. FTX springs are engineered with the exact stiffness values needed to complement the Rokatan's suspension geometry, ensuring that when you install them, your RC crawler's handling feels exactly as it should. Whether you're running stock configuration or upgrading other suspension components like the aluminium shock tower braces or updated suspension arm mounts, maintaining spring quality ensures all those upgrades can work together effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these FTX Rokatan springs compatible with? — These springs are specifically designed for the FTX Rokatan platform and are confirmed compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck RTR models (FTX5498V2R and FTX5498V2B). If you own a Rokatan-based vehicle, these will fit your suspension system perfectly.
- How often should I replace the springs on my RC crawler? — Springs gradually lose their stiffness with regular use. You should inspect them periodically and replace them when you notice your RC vehicle sitting lower than usual, responding sluggishly to terrain, or not recovering as quickly from impacts. Heavy bashers should carry spare springs as maintenance items.
- Why do RC springs need replacing? — Springs work by compressing and extending thousands of times during each run. Over time, the material fatigues and loses its spring rate—the force it exerts when compressed. This causes your suspension to sag, which affects ride height, handling balance, and traction. Replacing springs restores these characteristics.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, the FTX Rokatan Springs (2) FTX10147 are genuine OEM components manufactured by FTX and sold through authorised UK RC retailers like RC Model Shop. Purchasing from an authorised dealer ensures you receive authentic parts with full compatibility.
- Can I use these springs on other FTX models? — While these springs are specifically engineered for the Rokatan platform, compatibility with other FTX models is not guaranteed. We recommend purchasing springs that match your specific vehicle model to ensure correct suspension geometry and handling.
- What other suspension parts might I need to order with these springs? — Depending on your vehicle's condition, you may also want to consider the Shock Plastic Parts (FTX10148), Shock Shafts (FTX10149), Shock Tower Set (FTX10137), or Suspension Arm Mounts (FTX10106) to ensure your entire suspension system is in optimal condition.
