GPM Team Losi SUPER BAJA Rear L-shape Shock 170mm SB170R/L - Chassis Option  [SB170R/L]

Aluminium 170mm Rear L-shape Shock Units

The GPM SB170R/L rear L-shape shocks function as a scale replacement for the Team Losi SUPER BAJA rear suspension, supplied as a matched pair to help owners refine rear-end balance and damping characteristics. The parts target typical wear locations and are sized for durability under demanding runs.

Mechanical highlights noted from the source include thicker coil wire at 2.5mm for firmer spring behaviour and an increased shaft diameter of 7mm to limit bending. The aluminium cylinder is lightweight yet solid, while the sealed spring retainer reduces the chance of oil loss. An L-shape collar increases internal oil travel, helping to smooth damping throughout the stroke. The central ball-top to ball-end measurement is 170mm as specified.

Fitting and setup guidance: these shocks are intended to replace the rear shocks on compatible Super Baja kits using 170mm midpoint length and L-shape ball posts. Installation normally requires removing the original rear shocks, attaching ball ends at the towers and lower arms, and dialing in preload and oil weight incrementally to suit vehicle weight and terrain. Confirm full travel and clearance before extended running.

These aluminium L-shape rear shocks are a practical upgrade for Super Baja builders who want reduced shaft flex and better oil containment to stabilise rear handling during varied driving conditions.
