Shock Limiting Kit (Internal Spacers)
SKU:STH-0184
There are many great shocks on the market. Some of out favorites come off the Axial Capra, Traxxas TRX4 and Element RC kist and RTR trucks. When using them on an aftermarket chassis usually the main problem with these shocks are too much upward stroke causing too much articulation. This is where the spacers come into pley. By adding spacers under the shock piston inside the shock body, you can reduce the overall length of the shock to better suit your custom build.
Most after market chassis benefit greatly from shocks with a stroke of 10-15mm and a maximum eye-to-eye length of 80-90mm.
Most RTR shocks also leave the piston resting on the bottom of the inside of the shock with little to no oil under the piston. This makes the first few millimeters of compression incosistent. by adding as little as one 2-3mm spacer under the shock piston, it allow oil to properly fill the area under the shock and to keep them working smooth through the entire stroke.
