Technical Performance
The FTX Texan 1/10 Rear Shock Linkmount & Body Mounts represent the engineering foundation that FTX applies to their popular Texan platform. The shock linkmount is precision-engineered to maintain exact suspension geometry and alignment, which is critical for consistent handling behaviour across different driving surfaces and speeds. Proper shock linkage ensures that your suspension can respond effectively to bumps, jumps, and uneven terrain whilst maintaining predictable weight transfer and traction. The body mounts are equally important, serving as the interface between your vehicle's bodywork and chassis. They must be rigid enough to prevent excessive movement that could affect the vehicle's centre of gravity and aerodynamic characteristics, yet engineered to absorb minor vibrations and impacts that would otherwise transmit directly to the chassis. FTX manufactures these components from durable materials suitable for the demands of 1/10 scale RC driving, whether you're running on track, bashing through countryside terrain, or performing competitive manoeuvres. The precision of these components directly impacts your Texan's handling response, suspension performance, and overall driving dynamics, making them among the most important spares to keep on hand for regular maintenance.
