Overview
The FTX Vantage/Carnage Rear Shock Spring 2pcs (FTX6205) is an essential suspension upgrade and replacement spare part for RC enthusiasts in the UK who own FTX off-road buggies and trucks. Whether you're a dedicated basher pushing your ready to run RC car to its limits, or a serious competitor looking to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics, this genuine FTX suspension component delivers the reliability and performance you need. These rear shock springs are precision-engineered replacements designed specifically for FTX's popular Vantage and Carnage models, ensuring perfect fitment and consistent performance every time you hit the track or trail.
Suspension is one of the most critical elements of any RC vehicle's setup, directly affecting handling, stability, and overall driving experience. The quality of your shock springs determines how your RC buggy or truck absorbs impacts, manages weight transfer during acceleration and braking, and maintains traction through corners. By choosing genuine FTX replacement springs, you're investing in components that have been tested and validated by the manufacturer to work perfectly with your specific model. This is why serious RC car UK owners trust OEM (original equipment manufacturer) spares when upgrading or maintaining their vehicles. A pack of two springs ensures you have a spare set ready when you need them, minimising downtime and keeping your RC hobby running smoothly.
If you've noticed your Vantage or Carnage isn't sitting quite right, feels unstable over bumps, or if your current springs have lost their tension after months of bashing, this two-piece spring set is the perfect solution. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance, and the difference in handling can be dramatic. Available now in stock at RC Model Shop, the FTX6205 represents excellent value at just £2.29, making it an affordable way to maintain and optimise your beloved RC vehicle.

Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage/Carnage Rear Shock Spring 2pcs are precision suspension components engineered to provide consistent spring rate and damping characteristics that complement the geometry and weight distribution of FTX's popular Vantage brushed buggy and Carnage brushed truck models. Shock springs are critical to suspension performance because they support the vehicle's weight, absorb impacts from terrain irregularities, and work in conjunction with dampers (shocks) to control the suspension's movement. The proper spring rate ensures that your RC vehicle maintains adequate ground clearance, prevents bottoming out during hard landings, and keeps the tyres in consistent contact with the ground for maximum traction. These rear springs are manufactured to FTX's exacting quality standards using materials selected for their fatigue resistance and longevity. Over time, springs can lose their tension due to repeated compression cycles, vibration, and environmental factors like temperature changes. When this happens, your vehicle may sit lower, experience handling issues, or feel less responsive. By replacing your springs with this genuine FTX kit, you restore your vehicle's original suspension geometry and handling characteristics. The two-piece packaging allows you to upgrade both rear springs simultaneously, ensuring balanced suspension performance and symmetrical handling from one side to the other. These springs are compatible with the FTX Bugsta 4WD brushed buggy, FTX Carnage 2.0 brushed trucks (both red and blue), FTX Carnage 2.0 brushless monster truck, FTX Khaos 1/10 brushless truggy, and FTX Vantage 2.0 brushed buggy, making them a versatile spares option for those with multiple FTX vehicles in their collection.
