Key Features

• Genuine FTX Replacement Parts — These are authentic OEM shock bodies manufactured by FTX specifically for the Banzai platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing suspension system and eliminating any concerns about non-standard parts affecting your car's handling characteristics.
• Pack of Two Rear Shock Bodies — Rather than purchasing individual units, this convenient twin-pack allows you to replace both rear shocks at once, maintaining balanced suspension performance and ensuring consistent handling balance across the rear axle.
• Designed for Drift Racing — The Banzai is a dedicated 1/10th scale 4WD drift car, and these shock bodies are specifically engineered to handle the unique demands of drift driving with precise geometry and responsive suspension action that supports high-angle cornering and smooth weight transfer.
• Essential Wear Component — Shock bodies endure constant compression and extension cycles, particularly on drift cars where suspension geometry is critical, making these replacement parts a vital maintenance item for keeping your vehicle competitive and predictable.
• Direct OEM Compatibility — As genuine FTX parts with model number FTX6569, these shock bodies integrate seamlessly with the rest of your Banzai's suspension system without any modification or fitment issues.

Technical Performance

The FTX Banzai Rear Shock Bodies are precision-engineered components that form a critical part of the suspension system on this popular 1/10th scale 4WD electric drift car. Drift racing demands exceptionally responsive and consistent suspension performance, as the delicate balance between grip and slip is fundamental to maintaining smooth, predictable weight transfer through corners. These shock bodies are constructed to maintain proper damping characteristics and suspension geometry under the repeated stress cycles that characterise drift driving. The design ensures that your shock absorber assembly remains stable and responsive, preserving the car's ability to maintain consistent drift angles and smooth transitions between steering inputs. Built from durable materials engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of RC drift racing, these components are designed to provide reliable performance across multiple sessions. Whether you're driving casually or competing in organised RC drift events throughout the UK, having quality replacement shock bodies ensures your Banzai maintains the suspension precision that makes FTX's drift platform renowned amongst RC enthusiasts and competitors alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these rear shock bodies compatible with my FTX Banzai RC car? — Yes, these shock bodies are manufactured specifically for the FTX Banzai 1/10th scale 4WD drift car and carry the official FTX part number FTX6569, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with your existing suspension setup.
• Why would I need replacement shock bodies for my RC drift car? — Shock bodies experience constant compression and extension during driving and can suffer damage from impacts or normal wear over extended use. Replacing worn or damaged shock bodies restores your suspension to like-new condition and ensures consistent handling performance, which is particularly important for drift driving where suspension response directly affects your ability to maintain drift angles and smooth transitions.
• How often should I replace my shock bodies? — The lifespan of shock bodies depends on your driving frequency and intensity. Regular inspection will help you identify when replacement is needed; however, if you notice inconsistent suspension response, uneven ride height, or visible damage to the shock assembly, replacement is recommended to maintain optimal vehicle performance.
• Can I replace just one rear shock body instead of both? — Whilst this pack includes two shock bodies, you could technically replace just one; however, for optimal handling balance and consistency, it is recommended to replace both rear shock bodies simultaneously to ensure symmetrical suspension geometry and equal damping characteristics on both sides of the rear axle.
• What tools do I need to install these shock bodies? — Installation will require basic hand tools and familiarity with your Banzai's suspension assembly, though specific tool requirements will depend on your suspension design and may be found in your vehicle manual or FTX's installation guides.
• Are these suitable for high-speed racing? — These shock bodies are specifically engineered for the FTX Banzai, which is a dedicated drift car rather than a high-speed racing vehicle, so they are optimised for drift driving characteristics rather than extreme speed applications.
