Overview
Transform the suspension performance of your Axial SCX24 with the Hot Racing Aluminum Threaded Long-Travel Friction Shocks. CNC-machined from aluminum and engineered with threaded bodies and an extended 14mm stroke, these long-travel shocks deliver dramatically improved articulation, ride height adjustability, and overall scale crawler performance over the stock SCX24 dampers.
Unlike oil-filled shocks, these run on a friction-damped design that uses only a thin coating of thick silicone grease for tunable damping. Maintenance is fast, tuning is simple, and the threaded shock bodies allow precise pre-load adjustment without opening up the shock — a huge convenience at the trail or workbench.
Key Features
- CNC-machined aluminum shock bodies
- Threaded bodies for quick pre-load adjustment
- Long-travel design — 14mm stroke
- Friction-damped — no oil required
- Three spring rates included (soft black, medium gold, firm silver)
- Direct replacement for Axial AXI31612 SCX24 shock set
Performance Benefits
- Increased wheel travel for improved articulation
- Adjustable ride height via threaded pre-load collars
- Three spring rates for surface-specific tuning
- Aluminum construction outlasts stock plastic shocks
Usage Notes
Mount with the wide flange outward to retain the O-rings. Use silicone thick grease — do NOT fully fill; a heavy coating is sufficient. Requires a 0.05" / 1.3mm / 1.4mm hex wrench for the M1.4x8 cap head screws. Start with medium (gold) springs as your baseline.
