HPI Baja Front L-shape Aluminium Dampers 186mm BJ186F/L by GPM  [BJ186F/L]

Front L-shape Alloy Dampers

This front shock assembly is supplied as one pair and is intended for HPI Baja style front suspension layouts, featuring an L-shape lower mount and a piggyback reservoir. The damper bodies are aluminium and the nominal length is 186mm as listed.

Engineering notes: the L-shape lower section aligns the lower eye for Baja geometry while the piggyback reservoir increases oil capacity to stabilise damping under repeated loads. Tuning should follow incremental piston, spring or oil weight changes to balance compression and rebound.

Installation and service: verify mounting hole spacing and overall length against the vehicle before fitting, replace one side at a time to keep handling predictable, and check preload and travel endpoints after installation. The dampers are adjustable and allow tuning via reservoir settings and spring preload.

For serious hobbyists upgrading HPI Baja front suspension, the BJ186F/L aluminium dampers provide a metal-bodied, piggyback-capable option when the 186mm length and L-mount geometry match the chassis. Always confirm fitment dimensions and select oils and springs to match intended use.
