Overview
The FTX RamRaider Shock Spring Front (2pcs) is an essential suspension upgrade and replacement component for owners of FTX RamRaider monster trucks and FTX Apache 2.0 trophy trucks. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running your brushless or brushed FTX monster truck, or you're looking to maintain your 1/10 scale RC car UK setup in peak condition, these front shock springs are the genuine OEM replacement parts you need. As a critical component of your RC vehicle's suspension system, quality shock springs are vital for maintaining proper ride height, handling characteristics, and overall performance whether you're bashing in the garden, competing at your local RC track, or exploring challenging terrain.
Shock springs are among the most frequently replaced suspension components in RC racing and bashing, as they bear constant load and compression during every run. Over time, springs can lose their original tension, become damaged, or simply wear out from extensive use. The FTX RamRaider Shock Spring Front replacement pair ensures you can quickly restore your suspension to factory specification and get back on the track or trail. These genuine FTX parts are engineered to match the exact specifications of your original equipment, ensuring consistent performance and reliability across your entire RC fleet.
RC Model Shop stocks this essential spare part to support both seasoned RC competitors and weekend bashers across the UK. Whether you're maintaining a ready to run RC monster truck or fine-tuning a precision racing machine, having quality replacement springs on hand ensures you can quickly service your equipment and minimise downtime between runs.

Technical Performance
The FTX RamRaider Shock Spring Front components are precision-engineered suspension elements that form a critical part of your 1/10 scale RC monster truck's chassis dynamics. These front shock springs work in conjunction with your vehicle's shock absorbers to manage suspension compression, rebound, and overall ride characteristics. The springs are manufactured to precise tolerances to deliver consistent spring rates and preload characteristics essential for reliable performance. Whether you're running a brushless powered FTX RamRaider or the brushed edition, these suspension springs maintain the geometry and handling balance that FTX engineers originally specified for optimal performance. The front springs support the weight distribution of your RC vehicle and absorb impacts from jumps, obstacles, and varied terrain types. For UK RC car enthusiasts running their vehicles on grass, concrete, or track surfaces, maintaining correct spring specifications is essential for predictable handling and preventing suspension geometry issues that could lead to tyre wear or alignment problems. These genuine OEM springs ensure your suspension performs exactly as designed, maintaining the vehicle's intended ride height and suspension travel characteristics essential for safe and enjoyable operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX vehicles do these front shock springs fit? — These springs are compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 brushless trophy truck (both red and blue variants), the FTX RamRaider 1/10 monster truck brushed edition (both blue and orange variants), and the FTX RamRaider 1/10 brushless monster truck (red/blue and green/blue variants). Check your vehicle model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- How often should I replace my RC shock springs? — Shock springs should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, damage, or loss of tension. Heavy bashers and competition drivers may need to replace springs every few months of regular use, whilst casual runners might only need replacements annually. Visible damage, reduced ride height, or uneven handling suggests spring replacement is needed.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are genuine OEM FTX RamRaider shock springs manufactured to the original specification. Purchasing genuine parts ensures perfect fitment and consistent performance matching your vehicle's original design.
- What is the difference between front and rear shock springs? — Front and rear shock springs often have different spring rates to accommodate the weight distribution and handling requirements of front versus rear suspension. These are specifically engineered for front suspension use on RamRaider and Apache 2.0 vehicles and should not be substituted for rear springs.
- Can I fit these myself? — Yes, shock spring replacement is a straightforward task that most RC enthusiasts can perform with basic tools. Simply remove the old springs from your shock absorbers and install the new springs. No special tools or technical knowledge is required, making this an ideal DIY maintenance task.
- Do I need to adjust my suspension settings after replacing the springs? — Since these are original specification springs, you should not need to adjust suspension settings after installation. However, if you were using modified springs previously, you may want to re-baseline your suspension geometry to ensure optimal handling.
