Key Features
- Genuine FTX OEM Component — These shock absorbers are the official replacement parts for the Utah 2.0, ensuring perfect compatibility with your crawler's chassis, suspension geometry and performance envelope. Using genuine parts means you avoid fitment issues and maintain the vehicle's engineered handling characteristics.
- Pair Pack Design — This product contains a matched pair of shock absorbers, so you have the flexibility to replace front and rear shocks or upgrade both sides of your suspension in one purchase. Having spare shocks on hand is essential for serious RC crawlers who want to maintain their model without downtime.
- Specifically Designed for 1/18 Scale Crawling — The shock absorbers are engineered specifically for the Utah 2.0's 1/18 scale proportions and suspension travel requirements. This ensures optimal articulation and ride quality when crawling over rocks, obstacles and varied terrain.
- Compatible with Utah 2.0 Models — These shocks are confirmed compatible with both the FTX5476MT (Metallic Teal) and FTX5476GY (Grey) variants of the Utah 2.0 1/18 brushless 2-speed LCG crawler, making them universally compatible across the Utah 2.0 range.
- Works with Brushless and 2-Speed Drivetrain — The Utah 2.0's advanced brushless motor and 2-speed transmission deliver impressive performance, and these shock absorbers are perfectly matched to handle the demands of brushless-powered crawling with smooth suspension response.
- Low Centre of Gravity Compatible — The Utah 2.0's LCG (low-centre-of-gravity) design gives it exceptional stability, and these shocks are calibrated to work with this advanced chassis architecture for predictable handling and improved ground clearance over obstacles.
Technical Performance
The FTX Utah 2.0 shock absorbers represent a key component of the Utah 2.0's sophisticated suspension system. As a 1/18 scale RC crawler, the Utah 2.0 demands precision-engineered suspension components that can handle constant articulation over rocks, roots and uneven terrain whilst maintaining chassis stability. These shock absorbers have been specifically engineered by FTX to complement the Utah 2.0's brushless motor system and 2-speed transmission, which together deliver smooth, controlled power delivery that these shocks are calibrated to manage effectively. The low-centre-of-gravity chassis architecture of the Utah 2.0 depends on properly functioning suspension components to maintain its stability advantage, and these genuine shocks ensure that the vehicle's weight distribution and ride height remain optimised. Build quality is paramount in suspension components, as they must withstand repeated compression, extension and lateral forces during intense crawling sessions. FTX's manufacturing standards ensure these shocks offer durability and consistent performance over extended use, making them a reliable choice for serious RC crawlers across the UK who demand equipment that will perform when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock absorbers compatible with my FTX Utah 2.0 RC crawler? — Yes, these shock absorbers are genuine OEM components designed specifically for the FTX Utah 2.0 1/18 brushless 2-speed LCG crawler. They are confirmed compatible with both the Metallic Teal (FTX5476MT) and Grey (FTX5476GY) variants of the Utah 2.0.
- Why would I need replacement shock absorbers for my RC crawler? — Shock absorbers endure constant stress during rock crawling, including compression from dropping off obstacles, extension whilst climbing, and lateral forces during technical manoeuvres. Over time, internal seals can wear, fluid can leak, or the shock body itself can become damaged. Replacing worn shocks restores your crawler's suspension performance, ride quality and stability. Many serious RC enthusiasts keep spare shocks on hand for quick repairs between crawling sessions.
- How many shock absorbers are included? — This is a pair pack, meaning you receive two shock absorbers in one purchase. This allows you to replace both front or both rear shocks, or have a spare set available.
- What makes FTX parts the right choice for my Utah 2.0? — FTX manufactures the Utah 2.0, so these shock absorbers are engineered with complete knowledge of the vehicle's suspension geometry, chassis dynamics and performance requirements. Using genuine FTX parts ensures perfect compatibility, optimal performance and maintains your warranty coverage. Third-party alternatives may fit but could compromise handling and durability.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement suspension component for existing Utah 2.0 owners rather than a beginner's purchase on its own. However, if you own a Utah 2.0 and experience suspension issues, these genuine replacement shocks are the straightforward solution. Installation requires basic RC maintenance skills and typically involves removing wheels, unscrewing the old shocks and fitting the new ones.
- What is the Utah 2.0's suspension system like? — The Utah 2.0 features an advanced suspension system with independent double-wishbone design at all four corners, which delivers excellent articulation and stability for 1/18 scale rock crawling. The shocks work in conjunction with this geometry to provide smooth ride quality and reliable performance over challenging terrain.
