KC10 shock basics
This Kyosho CL014 shock set is a direct spare for the KC10 chassis, supplied as a 4pcs unit for standard RC-scale suspension service. It functions as replacement shock absorbers for hobby models built on the KC10 platform, intended for regular maintenance, part renewal, and simple setup adjustments.
Fitment is specific to the KC10 chassis; confirm shock mount spacing and rod end type on your model before fitting. Installation follows common shock replacement steps: remove wheel and body where required, detach the upper and lower shock mounts, swap the unit, then cycle the suspension to check travel and clearance.
Tuning role: these shocks provide the mounting points and travel control that work with springs, preload collars, and your chosen damping components. When dialing handling, start with spring rate, preload and ride height, then refine shock positions and angles to alter roll and pitch characteristics.
If wear is the issue, inspect shock shafts, eyelets, and mounting hardware for play after installation, and verify equal travel on both sides. Use this 4pcs set as service spares to keep a KC10 running between full rebuilds.
