90mm aluminium internal shocks for 1/10 scale crawlers

This aluminium front and rear internal shock set is a scale RC suspension upgrade designed for the Vaterra K-5 platform and compatible chassis listed below. Supplied as a matched pair, the shocks are intended for hobbyist suspension tuning and trail testing rather than any full-scale application.

Built for internal shock mounts on 1/10 crawlers, these units affect ride height, articulation and slow-speed control during technical crawling. Use them to refine balance between tyre contact and chassis roll while negotiating rock and technical sections.

Installation notes: check your eye-to-eye length and mounting spacing before fitment, use threadlocker on metal fasteners where your chassis manual recommends it, and perform static sag checks after first fitment to set preload and decide on spring or spacer changes.

Compatible Models

  • HPI Crawler King
  • Gmade R1
  • Vaterra K5

These shocks provide a straightforward aluminium upgrade for 1/10 internal shock layouts and make a good baseline for tuning slow-speed traction and articulation on rockcourse-type sections.

How do I confirm fitment before buying?

Measure your current shock eye-to-eye distance and mounting hole spacing and compare to the expected 90mm length; consult the compatible models list and allow for small linkage adjustments if your chassis differs.

What basic tools and supplies are recommended?

Basic hand tools, correct-sized socket or nut drivers, and a medium-strength threadlocker for metal fasteners. A spring compressor or simple hand method helps set preload for static sag checks.

Will these change handling on technical lines?

Expect changes to unsprung mass distribution and steering feedback; tuning preload and travel will help dial in grip and reduce unwanted body roll on slow rock moves.

What routine checks should I do after installation?

After initial runs, recheck mounting hardware tightness, inspect eyelets for wear, and clean debris from the shock area to maintain consistent damping and travel.
