The FTX Banzai Shock Lower Holder is engineered with precision manufacturing standards to ensure reliable suspension performance in your 1/10th scale 4WD RC drift car.

Using genuine OEM parts ensures perfect fitment, optimal performance, and compatibility with all other Banzai suspension components.
- What tools do I need to install these shock lower holders? — Installation typically requires only basic RC car maintenance tools such as a hex key set and possibly a small screwdriver. The exact tools needed depend on your vehicle's current condition and assembly method, but detailed guidance can be found in your Banzai user manual or through online RC communities.
- How many shock lower holders do I need? — The Banzai 4WD layout uses four shocks total (one at each corner), so you would typically need two pairs to completely replace all four suspension points. This two-pack covers one pair, making it ideal for targeted repairs or preventative maintenance.
