Overview

The FTX RamRaider Rear Assembled Shock Set (2pc) is an essential replacement suspension component for owners of FTX RamRaider and Apache 2.0 RC monster trucks. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast running your RC car UK-wide or a weekend basher who wants to keep your truck performing at its best, this genuine FTX spare part delivers the quality and reliability you need. Suspension components are among the most frequently replaced parts on any RC truck, experiencing constant stress during jumps, landings, and aggressive driving. Having a ready-made assembled shock set on hand means you can quickly get back to the action without having to spend hours sourcing individual components or waiting for delivery delays.

The RamRaider is one of FTX's most popular 1/10 scale monster trucks, and this shock set is specifically engineered to match the performance characteristics and geometry of that platform. Whether you're upgrading from worn-out shocks or simply maintaining a spare set for competition use, these rear assembled shocks maintain the suspension geometry and ride characteristics that make the RamRaider such a capable and fun machine to drive. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand quality spare parts that fit perfectly and perform consistently, this is exactly what you need.

This is a professional-grade suspension component that demonstrates FTX's commitment to providing proper aftermarket support for their RC vehicles. Unlike generic shocks that might fit loosely or compromise your truck's handling, these assembled shocks are specifically engineered for your RamRaider, ensuring that your suspension performs exactly as intended. Whether you're preparing for race day, maintaining your existing truck, or building up a spare set for extended bashing sessions, the FTX RamRaider Rear Assembled Shock Set represents excellent value and genuine FTX engineering.

Key Features

• Genuine FTX Spare Part — This is an official FTX component manufactured to match the exact specifications of your RamRaider or Apache 2.0 truck, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance that you can depend on.
• Pre-Assembled Design — These shocks come fully assembled and ready to install directly onto your truck, saving you time and eliminating the need to source and install individual shock components separately.
• Set of Two — You receive a matched pair of rear shocks, providing the suspension balance your RamRaider needs for consistent handling and predictable on-track or off-track performance.
• Compatible with Multiple Models — These shocks are designed to fit FTX5498V2B and FTX5498V2R Apache 2.0 Trophy Trucks, as well as FTX5499OB and FTX5499SB RamRaider Brushed editions, plus the FTX5497GB and FTX5497RB Brushless RamRaider models, giving you a versatile spare part solution.
• Proper Suspension Geometry — Engineered specifically for the RamRaider chassis, these shocks maintain the correct mounting geometry and damping characteristics that contribute to the truck's legendary handling and performance capabilities.

Technical Performance

The FTX RamRaider Rear Assembled Shock Set represents proven suspension engineering refined through extensive real-world testing on both 1/10 scale brushed and brushless monster truck platforms. The shocks are constructed to withstand the extreme forces generated during jumps, hard landings, and aggressive cornering that are typical of monster truck driving. The rear suspension is critical to maintaining traction during acceleration and ensuring stable landing geometry after airtime, which directly impacts both speed and handling predictability. These assembled shocks feature integrated dampers and springs that work in harmony with the RamRaider's carefully tuned chassis geometry. The quality of construction and materials used in FTX spare parts is recognised across the UK RC community as providing excellent durability and performance value. Whether you're running the brushed edition RamRaiders or stepping up to the brushless versions with their increased power delivery, these rear shocks are engineered to handle the demands of modern 1/10 scale monster truck racing and recreational driving. The pre-assembled nature of these components means FTX has already properly matched and calibrated the shock components, eliminating variables that might arise from aftermarket assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX models do these rear shocks fit? — These assembled shocks are compatible with FTX Apache 2.0 brushless trophy trucks (FTX5498V2B blue and FTX5498V2R red versions), FTX RamRaider 1/10 monster trucks in both brushed edition (FTX5499OB orange and FTX5499SB blue) and brushless versions (FTX5497GB green/blue and FTX5497RB red/blue). If you own any of these models, these shocks will fit your vehicle.
• Why do I need replacement shocks for my RC monster truck? — RC shock absorbers experience extreme stress during normal driving, particularly when jumping and landing. The internal damping fluid can degrade, springs can weaken, and seals can fail, all of which degrade suspension performance. Replacing worn shocks restores your truck's handling, stability, and responsiveness to what you experienced when your truck was new.
• Are these shocks pre-assembled? — Yes, these come as a complete pre-assembled set of two rear shocks ready to bolt directly onto your RamRaider or Apache 2.0. You do not need to source individual shock components, assemble them, or install separate springs and dampers.
• Can I use these on both brushed and brushless RamRaiders? — Yes, these rear shocks are compatible with both the brushed and brushless versions of the FTX RamRaider monster truck, as well as the Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck models. The rear suspension geometry is the same across these platforms.
• What tools do I need to install these shocks? — You will need basic RC tools including metric hex keys and screwdrivers to remove the old shocks and install the new assembly. The installation process is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance.
• How long do RC shocks typically last? — This depends entirely on driving intensity and conditions. Weekend recreational drivers might replace shocks every year or two, whilst competitive racers who run multiple times per week may need new shocks every few months. Hard landings, excessive jumps, and harsh terrain accelerate shock wear.
• Why choose genuine FTX shocks over generic alternatives? — Genuine FTX shocks are engineered specifically for your RamRaider's chassis geometry, damping rates, and spring rates. Generic shocks may fit but often compromise handling and consistency. Using genuine parts ensures your truck performs exactly as FTX intended.
