90mm internal aluminium shocks suited to 1/10 crawler setups

This aluminium internal front and rear shock set is a suspension upgrade designed for the Vaterra K-5 platform and the compatible models shown below. Supplied as a pair, it is targeted at hobbyists tuning suspension for crawling rather than heavy-duty use.

Intended for internal shock configurations used on 1/10 scale crawlers, these units affect chassis attitude, articulation and slow-speed handling on technical sections. They can be used to refine traction control and body movement on tight lines.

Fitment guidance: measure eye-to-eye length and mounting spacings before fitting, secure metal fasteners with suitable threadlocker if recommended by your chassis instructions, and set static sag on initial runs to establish preload and spacing choices.

Compatible Models

  • HPI Crawler King
  • Gmade R1
  • Vaterra K5

Use these aluminium internal shocks as a practical upgrade for 1/10 crawlers with internal layouts to establish a tuning baseline for improved slow-speed traction and articulation on rock and technical courses.

Minor link or mount adjustments are sometimes necessary to accommodate different eye-to-eye lengths; confirm geometry while the vehicle is unladen to avoid binding.
Apply threadlocker to metal-to-metal fasteners where your chassis guide specifies it; avoid threadlocker on plastic or nylon components unless they are rated for it.
Aim for modest sag that keeps tyres in contact without excessive squat; adjust spring spacing after a few trial runs to fine-tune grip and balance.
Check eyelets for wear, ensure all fasteners remain tight, and clean grit from moving parts; replace any deformed components to preserve consistent suspension action.
