Overview
The TLR Machined Shock Pistons, Thin 2 x 1.6mm G3 (2) represent a precision engineering solution for RC enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their suspension performance. These machined shock pistons are essential replacement parts for Team Losi Racing buggies and are designed to deliver consistent damping characteristics and reliable performance on the track. Whether you're preparing your RC car UK setup for competitive racing or simply maintaining your buggy after intensive track sessions, these thin-profile pistons offer the quality you'd expect from an official Team Losi Racing component.
Built to exacting standards, these G3 specification shock pistons are crafted through precision machining processes that ensure tolerances are maintained across every unit. The thin 2 x 1.6mm profile is specifically engineered for certain shock applications within the TLR range, allowing you to dial in your suspension tuning with confidence. For serious RC buggy enthusiasts in the UK and beyond, having genuine manufacturer parts like these on hand is crucial for maintaining peak performance and reliability during racing season.
These pistons are particularly valuable for competitors who regularly compete in off-road racing events or those who want to keep their investment in top condition. The machined construction ensures durability and consistent performance over time, making them an excellent choice for anyone serious about their RC hobby.
Key Features
- Machined Construction — These shock pistons are precisely machined rather than stamped or cast, which ensures consistent tolerances and superior quality across every unit produced by Team Losi Racing.
- Thin Profile Design — The 2 x 1.6mm dimensions represent a thin-profile specification engineered for specific shock applications, allowing you to achieve finely-tuned suspension characteristics for different track conditions.
- G3 Specification — The G3 designation indicates these pistons meet Team Losi Racing's third-generation specifications, representing the latest engineering and materials science applied to shock tuning components.
- Genuine OEM Parts — Supplied directly as official Team Losi Racing components, you can trust these parts will perform exactly as intended in your buggy's suspension system.
- Pair Included — Two pistons are included in each package, providing enough parts to service both sides of a double-shock suspension setup or to keep spares on hand for future maintenance.
Technical Performance
The TLR Machined Shock Pistons, Thin 2 x 1.6mm G3 (2) exemplify the attention to detail that Team Losi Racing brings to suspension tuning components. Machined from quality materials to precise specifications, these pistons are engineered to work seamlessly within TLR shock bodies, providing the fluid displacement characteristics needed for responsive and predictable suspension behaviour. The thin profile means they create specific flow restrictions and damping rates when paired with the appropriate shock fluid and spring rates, allowing competitive drivers to fine-tune their setup for various track surfaces—from clay and dirt to carpet racing environments. The use of precision machining rather than casting or stamping ensures that each piston maintains exact dimensions, critical for consistent suspension feel and performance. These components are particularly valued by RC car UK racing communities where suspension tuning is integral to competitive success.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are shock pistons and why would I need replacement ones? — Shock pistons are internal components within shock absorbers that help control suspension movement and damping. They can wear over time with heavy use, or you may want to swap them to adjust the suspension characteristics of your RC buggy. Having genuine replacements on hand ensures you can maintain your setup in peak condition.
- How do I know if these pistons are compatible with my TLR buggy? — These TLR333014 pistons are designed for the 1/10 TLR 22 and 22X-4 series buggies, including the AC Race Kit, DC Race Kit, DC ELITE, Spec Racing Kit, and Race Roller models. Check your buggy's model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- What does the 2 x 1.6mm specification mean? — These dimensions refer to the piston's outer diameter and thickness profile. The 2 x 1.6mm thin profile is engineered to work with specific shock designs within the TLR range, affecting how the shock fluid flows through the piston and thus the damping characteristics of your suspension.
- Can I use different piston profiles to tune my suspension? — Yes, Team Losi Racing offers various piston profiles (including thin and standard options) as a tuning tool. Different profiles create different damping rates, allowing competitive drivers to adjust suspension stiffness for different track conditions, weather, and driving styles.
- Are these genuine Team Losi Racing parts? — Yes, these are official TLR333014 components manufactured by Team Losi Racing. Buying genuine parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and consistent performance with your buggy.
- How many pistons come in this package? — This package includes two machined shock pistons, which is typically enough to replace both pistons in a standard dual-shock suspension setup or to keep as spares.
