Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Front/Rear Shock Mounts are engineered with precision to maintain the suspension geometry critical to the Centaur's trail-crawling performance. Shock mounts serve as the interface between your vehicle's chassis and suspension components, and their quality directly affects how your shocks respond to terrain. These genuine FTX parts are manufactured to exacting specifications, ensuring that suspension travel is utilised effectively without binding or misalignment. The mounts maintain consistent geometry whether you're navigating rocky terrain, climbing steep obstacles, or descending challenging descents. As a chassis spare, they form part of the structural integrity that allows the 1/10th scale Centaur to maintain its responsive handling characteristics. Quality shock mounts prevent excessive wear on shock bodies and ensure that your suspension works as the designers intended. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance from their trail crawlers, genuine FTX spares represent an investment in longevity and consistent performance across countless hours of off-road adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock mounts compatible with all FTX Centaur models? — These mounts are specifically designed for the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR variants, including both the FTX5475B blue model and FTX5475R red model. If you own a genuine Centaur from the main RTR lineup, these parts will fit correctly without modification.
- Why would I need replacement shock mounts? — Shock mounts can wear over time due to repeated compression, terrain impact, and exposure to dirt and moisture. Cracked, broken, or misaligned mounts will cause suspension geometry issues, leading to unpredictable handling and potential damage to shock bodies. Regular maintenance ensures your suspension performs optimally.
- How many shock mounts do I need? — The Centaur is a 4WD vehicle with four wheels, typically requiring multiple shock mounts across front and rear axles. This two-piece set provides front and rear solutions; depending on your setup, you may need multiple sets or individual mounting points. Check your Centaur manual for your specific configuration.
- What is the difference between this model (FTX10410) and FTX10411? — Both FTX10410 and FTX10411 are listed as Front/Rear Shock Mounts for the Centaur, but FTX10410 is priced at £5.50 whilst FTX10411 is £3.99. The price difference may indicate different specifications, materials, or design iterations. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team to confirm which version is correct for your specific Centaur variant.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Whilst shock mount replacement is a straightforward maintenance task, it requires basic mechanical knowledge and proper tools. If you're new to RC maintenance, these parts are ideal for learning suspension fundamentals, though you may wish to consult your Centaur manual or watch installation guides first.
- How do I know if my shock mounts need replacing? — Signs of wear include visible cracks or damage to the mounts, loose or rattling suspension components, uneven ride height, or suspension that feels unpredictable on terrain. Inspect your mounts regularly during maintenance checks, especially after challenging trail sessions.
