Overview
The FTX Outlaw Rear Shock Spring (2pc) is an essential suspension upgrade for owners of FTX Outlaw and Zorro RC vehicles. Whether you're running the brushed or brushless version of the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR buggy, or the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck, maintaining optimal shock spring performance is critical for consistent handling and ride quality. These genuine OEM replacement springs are engineered to restore your vehicle's suspension geometry and performance characteristics to factory specifications.
As a UK RC retailer specialising in ready-to-run RC buggies and off-road vehicles, we understand that suspension maintenance is fundamental to keeping your RC car performing at its best. Whether you're a casual basher enjoying weekend runs or a dedicated enthusiast pushing your vehicle to its limits, shock springs wear over time and benefit from periodic replacement. The FTX Outlaw Rear Shock Spring (2pc) provides the reliable, quality replacement you need to maintain your vehicle's handling dynamics and ensure consistent performance across all driving conditions.
FTX has earned a strong reputation in the RC hobby for delivering quality vehicles at competitive prices, and their genuine spare parts reflect that same commitment to reliability. These rear shock springs are manufactured to the exact specifications your FTX Outlaw or Zorro requires, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance. Investing in genuine OEM parts means you're choosing springs that have been tested and validated for your specific vehicle platform, delivering predictable handling characteristics that keep your RC experience enjoyable.
Key Features

Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw Rear Shock Spring (2pc) represents a straightforward but essential suspension component. Shock springs are critical to maintaining proper ride height and suspension geometry on your RC buggy or truck. As these springs are used repeatedly during driving, they gradually lose their ability to return to their original compressed length, resulting in a lower ride height and altered handling characteristics. The springs' spring rate determines how much force is required to compress them, and this rate directly influences how your vehicle's suspension responds to bumps, jumps and cornering loads. By replacing worn springs with fresh OEM components, you restore your vehicle's suspension to its factory specifications, ensuring predictable handling and consistent performance. The two-piece design means you're getting a complete rear suspension spring replacement, allowing you to service both rear shocks simultaneously. FTX has engineered these springs to work harmoniously with the Outlaw and Zorro's suspension geometry, ensuring that once installed, your vehicle maintains the handling balance and ride characteristics that make these platforms so popular among UK RC enthusiasts. Whether you're preparing your Outlaw or Zorro for competitive racing or recreational bashing, maintaining suspension components like shock springs is fundamental to keeping your vehicle performing reliably.
