As part of the comprehensive FTX Colt spares range, this component is engineered to restore your RC car to factory specifications.

This two-piece package gives you extra replacement components, making it ideal for hobbyists who frequently bash their RC models or compete in organised events.

Technical Performance

The rear shock body is a critical structural component within your RC car's suspension architecture. This cylindrical housing contains the damping fluid and internal piston mechanisms that control how quickly the suspension compresses and extends during driving. The design of shock bodies directly influences how your RC car handles various surfaces—from smooth tarmac to loose gravel and muddy terrain common to UK RC tracks and outdoor driving locations. The shock body must be rigid enough to maintain proper alignment while flexible enough to absorb impacts without cracking or leaking damping fluid. FTX has engineered these shock bodies to deliver the precise balance needed for the Colt's suspension geometry, ensuring consistent handling performance whether you're driving competitively or casually bashing through fields and woodland. The two-piece package represents excellent value for users who want to keep spare components on hand, reducing the risk of extended vehicle downtime. These components work in tandem with the shock shaft and piston assembly to create the complete damping system, so maintaining quality spare bodies ensures your entire suspension system remains in optimal condition.
