Team Losi SUPER BAJA Rear 170mm L-shape Shock SB170R/L by GPM  [SB170R/L]

Aluminum 170mm Rear L-shape Dampers

The GPM SB170R/L rear L-shape shocks are a direct RC-scale replacement for the Team Losi SUPER BAJA rear suspension, supplied as a matched two-piece set to improve rear damping and component longevity. They are intended to serve as drop-in rear dampers for owners tuning balance and rebound behaviour.

Key mechanical notes from the original data include an increased coil wire thickness moved to 2.5mm for firmer spring action and a larger shock shaft diameter of 7mm to reduce shaft bending under load. The aluminium shock cylinder is described as light yet robust, and the sealed spring retainer helps limit oil seepage. An L-shape collar lengthens the oil travel path to smooth damping through the stroke while the measured ball-top to ball-end midpoint is 170mm.

Installation and setup tips: these shocks are designed to replace rear items on compatible Super Baja kits using L-shape ball-post geometry and a 170mm midpoint length. Typical installation steps include removing the OEM rear shocks, fitting the ball ends to the shock towers and arms, then setting preload and damping incrementally to suit vehicle mass and surface grip. Check shaft alignment and clearance before high-speed testing to avoid premature wear.

For Super Baja users wanting a stiffer rear end and reduced shaft flex, these aluminium L-shape shocks prioritise consistent damping and improved oil retention for predictable handling on varied surfaces.
