This 104mm oil-filled front shock is an RC-scale replacement and upgrade intended for Traxxas JATO 4X4 VXL applications and certain related models listed below. Constructed from 6061-T6 alloy with a sealed, oil-filled body, the unit focuses on reducing internal friction and managing dynamic loads to stabilise chassis behaviour on jumps and rough surfaces.
Key mechanical features include threaded shock bodies and collars for straightforward ride-height and preload adjustment, a locking spring perch to keep preload consistent, and bleeder screws to simplify maintenance and air release when servicing. The shock ships pre-assembled and is supplied with multiple spring options so riders can tune feel and travel without additional fabrication.
Springs supplied include a gold spring fitted on the shock body with a wire diameter of 1.3mm and an extra pair of black springs with a wire diameter of 1.4mm. Recommended assembly practice is to use thread locker on fasteners to prevent loosening under high-vibration running. Adjust spring preload via the top spring retainer to change effective spring rate and ride height.
