FTX RamRaider Shock Body Pair Replacement Suspension Spare FTX10221

Overview

The FTX RamRaider Shock Body (Pr) FTX10221 is an essential replacement spare part for owners of the FTX RamRaider 1/10 monster truck and compatible FTX platform vehicles. This genuine OEM shock body component is designed to restore your RC car's suspension performance when the original shock absorber casing becomes damaged, worn, or requires renewal. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast running a ready to run RC monster truck or a committed basher pushing your vehicle to its limits, having quality spare parts like this shock body on hand ensures minimal downtime and maximum track or trail time. The FTX RamRaider is renowned for its aggressive styling, robust construction, and impressive off-road capability, and maintaining its suspension system with genuine replacement parts is crucial for consistent handling and durability.

This shock body is supplied as a pair (pr), meaning you receive two units in a single purchase—perfect for replacing both front or rear shock assemblies, or keeping a spare set for your workshop. As an authorized FTX spare part stocked by RC Model Shop, you can be confident that you're purchasing genuine components engineered to exact specifications for perfect fitment and reliable performance. The RamRaider shock body works in conjunction with other suspension components such as shock shafts, shock cups, shock springs, and suspension arms to create a fully functional damping system. If you're looking to repair your FTX RC truck UK, upgrade your suspension geometry, or simply maintain your vehicle with quality spares, this shock body is an affordable and essential item to have in your spares box.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Replacement Part — This is an authentic FTX factory-produced component, ensuring perfect compatibility with your RamRaider and related FTX platform vehicles. Using genuine spares guarantees correct fitment and performance, eliminating the risk of poorly-made aftermarket alternatives.
• Pair of Two Units — You receive two shock bodies in this purchase, allowing you to replace both shock assemblies on one axle or maintain a complete spare set for future maintenance. This represents better value than purchasing individual units.
• Direct Fitment for Multiple FTX Models — This shock body is compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 brushless trophy truck (both Red and Blue variants), the FTX RamRaider 1/10 monster truck in both brushed and brushless versions (available in Blue, Orange, Red/Blue, and Green/Blue colour options). This compatibility across multiple models makes it a versatile spares item for collectors and multi-vehicle owners.
• Critical Suspension Component — The shock body forms the main structural element of your damper assembly, housing the internal piston, spring, and fluid. A damaged shock body will severely compromise suspension performance, handling, and ride quality, making replacement essential for proper vehicle function.
• Affordable Maintenance Solution — Priced competitively, this shock body represents an economical way to maintain your RC car rather than replacing entire pre-assembled shock units. Combined with other shock spares like shafts, cups, and springs, you can build complete replacement dampers at a fraction of the cost of ready-made alternatives.

Technical Performance

The FTX RamRaider Shock Body is engineered from durable polymer material specifically formulated to withstand the demanding conditions of 1/10 scale RC off-road driving. The shock body houses the internal damping mechanism and works alongside the shock shaft (sold separately as FTX10218), shock cups and ends (FTX10219), and shock springs in both front (FTX10225) and rear (FTX10226) configurations. This modular suspension design allows you to customize your RamRaider's performance characteristics by selecting different spring rates or adjusting damping fluid viscosity. The shock body's internal geometry is precisely engineered to work with the FTX RamRaider's suspension kinematics, whether you're running the brushed edition (available as FTX5499SB in Blue or FTX5499OB in Orange) or the brushless variant (FTX5497RB in Red/Blue or FTX5497GB in Green/Blue). The shock body material provides the perfect balance between rigidity and resilience, preventing excessive flex whilst absorbing impacts from rough terrain. For users of the FTX Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck (FTX5498V2R in Red or FTX5498V2B in Blue), this shock body ensures consistent handling on both high-speed desert runs and technical rock crawling sections. Regular inspection and replacement of damaged shock bodies is part of essential RC car maintenance, particularly after heavy impact events or after extended usage in dusty or wet conditions.

• Shock Springs — Front springs (FTX10225) and rear springs (FTX10226) depending on your axle configuration
• Shock Oil/Fluid — Damping fluid in your preferred viscosity (not included) to fill the shock body for proper damping action
• Tools — Basic tools such as screwdrivers and possibly a shock press for assembling shock components

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this shock body compatible with my FTX RamRaider? — Yes, this genuine FTX10221 shock body is designed specifically for the FTX RamRaider 1/10 monster truck platform. It works with both the brushed edition (Blue FTX5499SB or Orange FTX5499OB) and brushless variants (Red/Blue FTX5497RB or Green/Blue FTX5497GB). It is also compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck (Red FTX5498V2R or Blue FTX5498V2B). Always verify your vehicle model before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
• What is a shock body and why would I need to replace it? — The shock body is the main cylindrical casing of your suspension damper. It houses the piston, spring, and damping fluid. You may need to replace it if the body develops cracks or splits from heavy impacts, if it becomes damaged during crashes, or if internal seals fail causing fluid leaks. A damaged shock body will prevent proper suspension function and should be replaced immediately.
• Do I need two shock bodies or just one? — This product includes a pair (two units), which is the standard quantity needed to service either your front or rear suspension axle completely. Most RC cars have two shocks per axle, so one purchase covers a full axle. If you need to service both front and rear, you would require two purchases.
• Can I use this shock body without other components? — No, the shock body alone is not functional. You will need to assemble it with the shock shaft (FTX10218), shock cups and ends (FTX10219), appropriate shock springs (front FTX10225 or rear FTX10226), and damping fluid to create a working shock assembly. All these components work together as a complete damping system.
• How often should I replace my shock bodies? — With proper maintenance and normal use, shock bodies can last for many seasons. However, they should be inspected regularly, especially after heavy crashes or impacts. Any visible cracks, leaks, or damage means immediate replacement is necessary. For competitive drivers or those running in extremely harsh conditions, replacement every 12-24 months is recommended as preventative maintenance.
• Is this shock body suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete shock assembly, so it's intended for users who already own an FTX RamRaider and understand basic maintenance. Beginners would typically purchase a ready to run RC truck where shocks are pre-assembled, then learn about spare parts and maintenance as they progress. That said, as you develop your RC skills, understanding and replacing shock bodies is an essential part of vehicle ownership.
