Precision aluminium front shock for Kyosho models

This aluminium front shock set is an aftermarket replacement engineered for Kyosho Motor Cycle scale models and supplied as a complete front suspension set. The assembly features silver upper components and black lower housings, intended to replace standard front shock exteriors where compatible with the Kyosho fork layout.

Installation requires careful front-end disassembly and verification of mounting dimensions. These components are designed as direct mechanical replacements when mounting points and rod diameters correspond with Kyosho forks; confirm fit by dry assembly to avoid contact with steering or fork travel.

From an upgrade perspective, aluminium upper and lower parts increase stiffness at the front mounting plane compared with many plastics, improving repeatable preload and damping setups and reducing chassis flex under load. Use this set where a firmer, more predictable front suspension platform is required during tuning and track testing.

Specifications

  • Item: Front shock set (upper silver, lower black)
  • Material: Aluminium
  • Model Number: KM018X/BKS
  • Compatibility: Kyosho Motor Cycle

Only fit where Kyosho Motor Cycle compatibility is verified, follow standard front-end servicing during installation, and recheck geometry and travel after assembly.

What measurements should be checked before fitting?

Measure mounting hole spacing, rod diameter and clearance to fork legs; these dimensions determine whether the aluminium housings will sit without contact throughout full travel.

Do these housings change shock damping?

External aluminium bodies do not directly alter internal damping characteristics, but reduced flex at mounting points can make damping adjustments more consistent and repeatable.

Are there special torque values for installation?

Use appropriate, moderate torque that secures parts without stressing aluminium threads; if uncertain, follow recommended fastener torque guidelines for aluminium accessories and inspect for movement after initial runs.

Will internal shock parts need replacing?

The listing covers external aluminium upper and lower components; confirm compatibility of your existing internal assemblies or plan to source matching internals if different damping or rod lengths are required.
