Internal 90mm aluminium shocks tuned for scale crawling

This front and rear internal shock set is an aluminium suspension upgrade created with the Vaterra K-5 platform and the compatible chassis below in mind. The pack ships as one pair and is aimed at hobbyists refining suspension rather than any heavy-duty application.

Designed for internal mounting on 1/10 crawlers, these shocks help control ride height and articulation through slow technical moves. They are useful when you want to tune body roll and tyre contact on rockgardens and tight lines.

Installation advice: confirm eyelet spacing and overall shock length before fitting, apply threadlocker to metal fasteners where indicated by your chassis instructions, and perform static sag measurements to set preload and choose appropriate spring spacers.

Compatible Models

  • HPI Crawler King
  • Gmade R1
  • Vaterra K5

As an aluminium internal option these shocks are a reliable starting point for owners who use internal shock mounts and want a solid platform for incremental tuning of slow-speed traction and articulation.

Do these fit other 1/10 crawlers?

They fit the models listed in the compatibility box without modification; for other rigs check eye-to-eye and mount spacing and be prepared to adjust link lengths or use shims if needed.

How do I set initial preload?

Set preload to achieve a modest static sag, then run the vehicle and adjust spring spacing to fine-tune corner grip and chassis attitude on slow obstacles.

Will aluminium shocks require more maintenance?

Aluminium bodies are robust but still need routine inspection for fastener integrity and eyelet wear; cleaning after dusty climbs keeps performance consistent.

Can I tune damping with these?

These are primarily a spring and preload tuning platform; if your build supports adjustable damping, pair that with preload changes to refine slow-speed feel.
