The GPM CGK5090X is a 90mm aluminium front/rear internal shock set produced for Vaterra K-5 and also listed as compatible with HPI Crawler King and Gmade R1. The engraved aluminium bodies give a machined appearance while the sealed internal layout lets these units sit lower than external coil-over assemblies.
As a tuning component, swapping stock plastic or filled internals for aluminium inserts affects mass distribution and thermal behaviour, and provides a firmer mounting surface for experimenting with oil weights and spring selection. The product ships as a one-pair set suitable for either front or rear installation depending on your chassis layout.
Installation notes: these are 90mm internal shocks; confirm stroke length and eyelet spacing before fitting. Fit by replacing existing internals, check body clearance, then tune oil viscosity and spring rates to match vehicle mass and intended crawling terrain.
For builders after consistent damping feel and a durable machined look on 1/10 crawlers, the CGK5090X 90mm aluminium internal shocks are a direct replacement option that supports straightforward suspension tuning.
