Gmade R1 Alloy Shock Upgrade for Rock Buggy - R1-80309-RD by Jazrider  [R1-80309-RD]

Red alloy shocks tuned for scale rock buggies

The R1-80309-RD red alloy shock set is a replacement shock package designed for the Gmade R1 platform. As a direct hop-up, it gives owners a metal-bodied option over basic plastic dampers while keeping the original mounting layout and serviceability associated with scale rock buggies.

These dampers serve three practical purposes: they secure a firmer spring platform, enable consistent oil-based damping for repeatable rebound and compression, and stand up better to wear from regular trail use. The product name references Gmade R1 so additional chassis compatibility is not assumed.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with shock removal and rebuild. Remove the stock unit from the lower eyelet and top cap, transfer or change springs as needed, fit the alloy body ensuring smooth piston movement and proper seal seating. After assembly, set ride height and confirm there is no binding throughout full suspension travel before operation.

Tuning advice emphasizes variables rather than fixed values. Test different shock oil weights to tune damping, alter spring preload to change ride height and initial stiffness, and try alternative mounting positions when the chassis permits. Regular inspection of seals and O-rings preserves damping consistency and extends service intervals.

Made as a scale-focused alloy upgrade, this shock set supplies a metal-bodied option for Gmade R1 owners seeking steady damping behavior and extended component life under typical off-road conditions.
