Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger Front & Rear Shock Towers are suspension components engineered specifically for 1/10 scale on-road street RC cars. These towers form part of the chassis structure and suspension mounting system on both FTX Stinger and FTX EVO30 models, whether running brushless or brushed electric motors. The shock towers are precision-moulded components that maintain critical suspension geometry, including camber and caster angles, which are essential for proper handling characteristics on tarmac surfaces. When a shock tower becomes cracked, bent or damaged through regular driving or impact, it can compromise suspension alignment and affect steering response, cornering grip and overall vehicle stability. Replacing damaged or worn shock towers with these genuine FTX parts restores your car to factory specifications and ensures it continues to perform as designed. The compact, lightweight design of these towers helps keep overall vehicle weight low whilst maintaining structural rigidity. For any FTX Stinger or EVO30 owner, having replacement shock towers in your spares box is a sensible investment in vehicle maintenance and longevity.
