Overview
The FTX Ramraider Brushed Springs are essential replacement suspension components designed specifically for the FTX RamRaider RC model. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast running your model in the UK or someone new to the hobby, maintaining your suspension system with genuine OEM parts is crucial for optimal performance and handling. These springs are engineered to work seamlessly with the RamRaider's brushed powertrain setup, ensuring your vehicle maintains consistent ride height, proper chassis geometry and responsive handling characteristics across all terrains.
Springs are among the most frequently replaced components in any RC car, especially if you regularly bash your RamRaider across rough terrain, rocks, or high-impact landing zones. Over time, springs lose their original tension and stiffness, affecting your model's stance, cornering ability and overall driveability. By choosing genuine FTX springs, you're investing in authentic parts that match the exact specifications your RamRaider was engineered for, ensuring compatibility with all other suspension components including the Ramraider Brushed Shock assemblies and aluminium shock towers.
RC Model Shop stocks the complete range of FTX RamRaider spare parts, making it easy to source everything you need to keep your brushed RC truck in peak condition. Whether you're replacing worn springs as routine maintenance or upgrading your suspension setup, our authorised FTX parts guarantee perfect fitment and reliable performance.
Key Features
- OEM FTX Design — These springs are manufactured to the exact original equipment specifications, ensuring they provide the correct spring rate and tension for the Ramraider Brushed model, which means your suspension will perform exactly as FTX engineered it.
- Direct Compatibility — Designed specifically for the FTX RamRaider Brushed platform, these springs integrate perfectly with the Brushed Shock assemblies and shock tower components, eliminating any fitment issues or performance inconsistencies.
- Suspension Tuning — Springs are fundamental to suspension geometry and ride height, directly influencing how your RC truck handles in corners, maintains stability during acceleration and braking, and absorbs impacts from rough terrain.
- Wear Resistance — Genuine FTX springs maintain their temper and elasticity through hundreds of running cycles, unlike inferior aftermarket alternatives that soften or lose effectiveness after limited use.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance — Spring replacement is one of the most affordable ways to restore your RamRaider's original performance characteristics without requiring expensive full suspension rebuilds.
Technical Performance
The FTX Ramraider Brushed Springs are precision-manufactured suspension components that work in conjunction with the model's brushed 550 15T motor system and 40A ESC to deliver predictable, responsive handling. Springs play a critical role in maintaining ride height, which directly affects aerodynamic stability, traction, and centre of gravity in your RC truck. The Ramraider platform is engineered as a compact, highly manoeuvrable RC vehicle designed for both speed runs and technical crawling, and the spring rate is calibrated specifically for this dual-purpose capability. Quality suspension components are essential because they determine how effectively your truck absorbs bumps, maintains tyre contact with the ground during cornering, and responds to driver inputs. The brushed Ramraider configuration is popular among UK RC enthusiasts who want a straightforward, reliable electric RC truck without the complexity of brushless systems, and maintaining original spring specifications ensures that your vehicle's handling characteristics remain true to factory design. When paired with the Ramraider Brushed Shock assemblies and either the front or rear aluminium shock towers available separately, these springs form a complete suspension system capable of handling varied terrain from carpet to gravel to outdoor grass tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How often should I replace the springs on my FTX RamRaider? — Springs should be inspected regularly and replaced when they no longer return to their original shape after compression, when your truck sits lower than normal, or if you notice reduced suspension responsiveness. Heavy use may require replacement every 6-12 months, whilst casual running may extend this interval.
- Will these springs work with both front and rear suspension? — The product listing specifies FTX Ramraider Brushed Springs without distinguishing front or rear applications. We recommend contacting our team at RC Model Shop to confirm whether these are universal springs or if separate front and rear options are required for your specific maintenance needs.
- Are these compatible with other FTX models? — These springs are specifically engineered for the FTX RamRaider Brushed model. Whilst suspension components between different FTX models may sometimes be interchangeable, we strongly recommend verifying compatibility before fitting to other vehicles, as using incorrect spring rates can compromise handling and damage shock towers.
- What is the difference between these brushed springs and brushless springs? — The brushed and brushless versions of the Ramraider may utilise different suspension tuning due to variations in weight distribution and power delivery characteristics. Brushless motors are typically heavier than brushed alternatives, potentially requiring different spring rates. Always use the correct springs for your specific motor type.
- Can I use these springs on carpet or outdoor terrain? — Yes, these springs are designed to work across various surfaces. The Ramraider Brushed platform is versatile enough for both indoor carpet running and outdoor terrain. If you frequently switch between surfaces, you might consider experimenting with different spring rates, but the factory springs provide a balanced setup for general use.
- Do I need shock absorbers as well? — Springs and shocks work together as a complete suspension system. Whilst you can replace springs independently, for optimal performance we recommend ensuring your shocks are also in good condition. FTX offers Ramraider Brushed Shock assemblies if you need to replace those components simultaneously.
