Scale aluminium shock replacement for Gmade R1
The R1-80309-RD red aluminium shock set is presented as an RC-scale replacement for the Gmade R1. Crafted to accept standard spring mounts and service routines, the kit gives a more durable metal body option compared with simple plastic dampers used on some stock units.
Functionally, these shocks deliver three clear benefits: a stable platform for springs, controlled oil damping for consistent rebound and compression behavior, and improved resistance to wear during repeated trail sessions. Because the listing names Gmade R1, other chassis are not automatically covered.
Fitting requires basic shock service experience. Remove the existing dampers from their lower and upper mounts, swap or fit springs as needed, then install the alloy bodies while checking piston travel and seal alignment. Once fitted, set ride height and run the suspension through full travel to detect any binding.
For setup, vary oil weight to refine damping feel, adjust preload to manage stance and initial stiffness, and experiment with eyelet positions if the chassis design allows. Scheduled checks of seals and O-rings will keep damping consistent and extend service life.
