Key Features
- OEM Quality FTX Manufactured Component — These springs are precision-engineered and manufactured by FTX to the exact same specifications as the original suspension parts fitted to new Vantage, Carnage and Outlaw vehicles, guaranteeing perfect fitment and reliable performance every single time.
- Pair of Two Springs — You receive two complete front shock springs in this package, which means you have a full matched set for your vehicle's front suspension system, ensuring perfectly balanced and symmetrical handling characteristics.
- Universal Compatibility Across Multiple FTX Models — These springs are compatible with a diverse range of FTX RC vehicles including the Vantage, Carnage (brushed and brushless variants), Bugsta, Khaos, Outlaw, and Zorro Trophy Truck, making them a smart choice if you own multiple FTX models or plan to expand your collection.
- Direct Bolt-On Installation — No modifications, adjustments or special tools are required for installation; these springs are engineered to drop straight in and work perfectly with your existing shock absorber assemblies, making them ideal for quick maintenance and repairs.
- Suspension Performance Enhancement — Fresh springs restore your vehicle's original ride height, suspension stiffness and handling balance, particularly important after heavy use or if your existing springs have fatigued and softened over time, which degrades handling and creates inconsistent driving characteristics.

- Genuine FTX Spare Part — Sourced directly from FTX, you can be absolutely certain these are authentic components that meet all FTX engineering standards and quality control requirements, not third-party alternatives or counterfeits.
Technical Performance
The FTX Front Shock Spring FTX6204 represents the foundation of reliable suspension engineering for 1/10 scale RC buggies and trucks. These springs are manufactured from premium steel alloy material that resists fatigue and maintains consistent spring rates even under the demanding conditions of intensive RC driving. The springs are precision-wound to exacting tolerances, ensuring that the pair maintains perfect symmetry and balance, which is absolutely critical for achieving predictable handling and eliminating suspension-related understeer or oversteer. The engineering behind these springs takes into account the specific geometry and suspension geometry of the Vantage, Carnage and Outlaw chassis platforms, meaning they deliver optimal suspension travel, ride height and support characteristics for these vehicles. Whether you're using a brushed motor setup or upgrading to a brushless RC vehicle for higher speed and power, these springs maintain consistent performance across varying driving intensities. The spring rate is engineered to provide responsive feedback through the chassis while maintaining adequate support and damping characteristics when combined with the appropriate shock absorber oils and damping settings, allowing drivers to fine-tune their suspension setup for maximum performance across grass, dirt, tarmac and mixed terrain conditions.
