Technical Performance
The FMS 11023 Shock Rod is engineered as a precision suspension component for the 1:10 scale F100 RC platform. Shock rods are fundamental to proper suspension function in RC vehicles, working in conjunction with shock absorbers to maintain consistent ride height, damping characteristics and handling stability.

FMS has manufactured this component to exact tolerances that match the original specifications of the F100 platform, ensuring that when installed, your suspension performs exactly as the vehicle's engineers intended. The durability of the shock rod material ensures it can handle repeated compression cycles, impact loads and the stresses associated with both on-road circuits and off-road bashing. Whether you're running your 1:10 RC car through rocky terrain, high-speed circuits or general recreational use, this component maintains structural integrity and consistent performance. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts who understand that suspension performance directly correlates to vehicle handling and driver control, maintaining shock rod condition is non-negotiable for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock rod and why does my RC car need one? — A shock rod is a critical suspension component that works within your RC car's shock absorber system to maintain proper damping and ride height. The rod connects the shock body to the suspension linkage, and if it becomes bent, worn or damaged, it compromises your vehicle's handling, stability and overall performance. Replacing or upgrading shock rods is one of the most effective ways to restore or enhance suspension response in any RC truck.
- Is this shock rod compatible with my FMS F100? — Yes, this FMS 11023 Shock Rod (APSC22051) is manufactured specifically for the 1:10 FMS F100 RC truck, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility without any modification required. Simply remove your worn or damaged shock rod and install this genuine replacement for immediate results.
- Will this shock rod improve my RC car's handling? — If your existing shock rods are worn or damaged, replacing them with this genuine FMS component will restore your vehicle's suspension geometry to factory specifications, which will noticeably improve handling characteristics, ride quality and cornering stability. Even if you're simply upgrading from older components, this precision-engineered rod provides consistent performance.
- Do I need any tools to install this shock rod? — Installation typically requires basic RC hobby tools such as hex keys or screwdrivers, depending on how your F100's shock absorbers are assembled. The exact procedure should be documented in your F100 instruction manual. Most experienced RC car UK enthusiasts can complete installation in minutes, though we recommend following official FMS guidance for best results.
- How often should I replace shock rods? — Shock rod lifespan depends on usage intensity and environmental conditions. Regular inspection is recommended, particularly if you notice changes in your vehicle's handling or ride height. For competitive drivers or those who bash extensively, checking shock rod condition every few months is sensible maintenance practice.
- What warranty does this component include? — The FMS 11023 Shock Rod benefits from FMS Hobby's comprehensive support policies. Products purchased directly through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop include a 30-day return policy for new and unused items, covering defective products, dead-on-arrival components, and items with shipping damage.
