FTX Ramraider Shock Spring Rear 2 Pieces Suspension Component FTX10226

Overview

The FTX Ramraider Shock Spring Rear (2pcs) is an essential replacement suspension component for owners of FTX monster trucks and trophy trucks who demand reliable, high-performance upgrades. Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your RC car UK to its limits, or a serious enthusiast maintaining your vehicle at peak performance, quality shock springs are crucial to your RC car's handling characteristics and overall durability. These rear shock springs are engineered to deliver consistent suspension response across varied terrain, from urban asphalt to rough off-road courses.

This genuine FTX spare part is specifically designed for the Ramraider 1/10 monster truck platform and is fully compatible with related models including the Apache 2.0 1/10 brushless trophy truck. When your existing springs lose their tension through normal wear and tear—inevitable after countless bashing sessions and competitive driving—replacing them with factory-spec components ensures your RC vehicle maintains its original suspension geometry and handling balance. The pack contains two rear shock springs, providing complete coverage for both rear shock towers on your model.

Built to FTX's exacting standards, these shock springs are manufactured from quality materials that resist fatigue and maintain consistent spring rates over extended use. If you're experiencing poor handling response, excessive body roll, or uneven suspension performance on your brushless RC monster truck, worn shock springs could be the culprit. Upgrading to fresh springs transforms your RC experience, restoring responsive handling and precise control that defines the difference between average performance and championship-level driving.

Key Features

• Genuine FTX Manufacturer Component — These are authentic factory parts produced by FTX, ensuring perfect fitment, correct spring rates, and performance characteristics matched to your Ramraider or Apache 2.0 vehicle. Using genuine spares guarantees you're getting the exact same specifications as your original equipment, maintaining the engineering integrity of your RC car.
• Pair of Rear Shock Springs — The pack includes two springs, providing complete rear suspension coverage for both shock absorbers on your monster truck. This allows you to replace both springs simultaneously, ensuring matched spring rates and balanced suspension performance across the rear axle.
• Engineered Spring Rate — These springs are precisely calibrated to deliver optimal suspension compliance for the Ramraider platform, providing the ideal balance between responsive handling, stability over jumps, and comfort during high-speed runs. The correct spring rate maintains proper shock body travel without bottoming out excessively.
• Durable Material Construction — Manufactured from quality spring steel, these components resist fatigue cracking and maintain consistent performance through hundreds of driving hours. The material quality ensures your suspension remains predictable and reliable whether you're driving in wet conditions or hot weather.
• Direct Replacement for Wear Items — Shock springs gradually lose their tension through normal use and impacts. These replacements restore original suspension characteristics when your existing springs have weakened, immediately improving your RC car's handling response and comfort.
• Compatible with Multiple FTX Models — These springs work with the FTX5499OB and FTX5499SB Ramraider brushed editions, the FTX5497GB and FTX5497RB Ramraider brushless editions, and both the FTX5498V2B and FTX5498V2R Apache 2.0 brushless trophy trucks, providing broad compatibility across the FTX range.
• Essential Maintenance Component — Regular shock spring replacement is part of responsible RC vehicle ownership, maintaining suspension geometry and ensuring your ready to run RC monster truck continues performing as the manufacturer intended. This preventative maintenance extends the lifespan of other suspension components.

Technical Performance

The FTX Ramraider Shock Spring Rear (2pcs) represents a critical suspension component for 1/10 scale monster truck platforms. Within a complete RC car suspension system, shock springs provide the fundamental compliance layer that allows the shock damper to function effectively. These rear springs work in conjunction with the shock body, shock shafts, and shock cups to create a suspension system capable of absorbing impacts from jumps, landings, and rough terrain whilst maintaining vehicle control and predictability. The springs are engineered to work specifically with the Ramraider's suspension geometry, which features independent double-wishbone suspension arms designed for maximum articulation and ground contact. When new, the springs maintain consistent rates throughout their travel; as they age through use, the metal loses elasticity, causing the suspension to sit lower and respond sluggishly to bumps. By replacing these worn components with fresh OEM springs, you restore the original suspension characteristics that made your brushless RC monster truck so capable. The spring material must resist corrosion from wet conditions common in UK weather whilst maintaining mechanical integrity through thousands of compression cycles. Quality spring steel ensures reliability whether you're driving your 4WD RC vehicle on wet grass, dusty tracks, or concrete courses, with consistent performance across temperature variations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these shock springs fit my FTX Ramraider monster truck? — Yes, these springs are specifically designed as original equipment replacement parts for all FTX Ramraider 1/10 monster truck variants, including both the brushed and brushless editions. They are also compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 trophy truck models, making them versatile spares for FTX enthusiasts with multiple vehicles in this product family.
• How often should I replace shock springs on my RC car? — Shock spring replacement depends on your driving intensity and terrain. Weekend bashers might replace springs every 12-18 months, whilst competitive drivers or those tackling aggressive terrain may need replacements every 3-6 months. You'll notice the need for replacement when your suspension sits lower than normal or handles sluggishly over bumps, indicating spring fatigue.
• Can I mix old and new springs on my RC car? — No, you should always replace shock springs in pairs to maintain balanced suspension. Mixing old and new springs creates inconsistent spring rates between the left and right sides, causing unpredictable handling and potential instability. For rear suspension, both springs should be replaced together as shown in this two-pack.
• What is the difference between front and rear shock springs? — FTX designs different spring rates for front and rear suspension to optimise weight distribution and handling characteristics specific to each vehicle's design. The front springs handle steering and braking forces differently than the rear springs, which manage acceleration and overall vehicle balance. Always use the correct springs for each axle position—this rear spring pack is specifically engineered for Ramraider rear suspension, distinct from the front springs available separately.
• Are these springs suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These are standard factory components used on RTR ready to run RC models, so they're appropriate for drivers of all experience levels. Beginners will benefit from using genuine replacement springs when needed, as they maintain the predictable handling characteristics necessary for learning vehicle control.
• Do I need any special tools to install these shock springs? — Installation requires basic RC maintenance tools: a small hex wrench or Allen key to remove the shock assembly from the vehicle, and potentially a spring compressor to safely handle the springs during installation. Many RC enthusiasts already have these tools; if you're new to RC maintenance, they're inexpensive investments that support ongoing vehicle care.
