Rear L-shape alloy damper 208mm for Baja models

The GPM BJ208R/L is an aluminum alloy rear adjustable L-shape damper designed for HPI Baja platforms. Provided as a 1pr set, the pack contains the two rear dampers and damper oil at 1000 viscosity to assist initial setup of compression and rebound. The L-shape profile places the cylinder and spring to suit Baja rear suspension geometry while maintaining a compact 208mm overall length.

This aftermarket unit offers a step up in shock durability and more consistent damping compared with stock parts. Adjustment options let you refine damping by swapping oil viscosity and changing spring preload to improve traction and handling on rough or loose terrain. Fit only to the compatible HPI Baja versions listed in the product title.

Fitment notes: install the dampers into the same rear mount points as stock L-shape shocks. Check ball-ends and mounting hardware for wear before fitting, and bleed air from the damper during filling to ensure predictable performance. Use the included 1000 oil as a baseline and adjust oil or spring rates to match running conditions.

For HPI Baja users seeking a reliable, adjustable rear shock option, the BJ208R/L supplies an aluminium replacement with 1000 viscosity oil included to support tuning and consistent performance.

They are intended to be a direct fit for the listed Baja models and mount in the same rear positions as the stock L-shape shocks.
Yes, the 1000 viscosity oil is supplied as a baseline setup for general off-road use; you can alter viscosity to fine tune handling.
For sandy or loose surfaces, experiment with slightly heavier oil or increased preload to slow rebound and improve traction.
Confirm that mounting pins and ball-ends are in good condition and replace any worn parts to ensure correct alignment and secure installation.
Fill the damper, cycle the shaft while topping up until no air bubbles appear, then seal and test travel to confirm smooth damping action.
