Key Features
- TiCN Coating — The titanium carbonitride coating applied to this shock shaft significantly enhances wear resistance and extends component lifespan compared to standard steel alternatives. This hard surface treatment reduces friction and prevents corrosion, making it ideal for both racing and general RC car use in varying UK weather conditions.
- G3 Generation Specification — This is a third-generation design that incorporates the latest engineering improvements from Team Losi Racing, ensuring compatibility with modern RC buggy platforms and delivering superior performance compared to earlier generations.
- Precision 3mm Diameter — The 3mm shaft diameter is specifically engineered to match the specifications of compatible TLR suspension systems, ensuring perfect fit and optimal damping performance without play or binding.
- 48.7mm Length — This precise length specification is critical for correct suspension geometry and ride height, directly affecting your RC buggy's handling balance and cornering capability.
- Genuine OEM Component — As an official Team Losi Racing part, this shock shaft is manufactured to exact specifications and quality standards, guaranteeing authentic performance that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- Single Unit Supplied — This pack contains one shock shaft, allowing you to replace individual components as needed or to maintain spare parts for competition and practice sessions.
Technical Performance
The TLR Shock Shaft represents the engineering philosophy of Team Losi Racing, delivering precision-manufactured suspension components that form the backbone of high-performance RC buggy platforms. The 3mm diameter specification is perfectly calibrated to work within the damping characteristics of TLR shock absorbers, ensuring smooth and responsive suspension action across a wide range of track conditions. The 48.7mm length is not arbitrary—it has been precisely calculated to maintain correct suspension geometry, ride height, and anti-squat characteristics that directly influence your RC buggy's acceleration, braking, and cornering performance. The TiCN coating treatment applied to this shaft creates a hardened surface layer that dramatically improves wear resistance, particularly important given the extreme forces experienced during cornering and impact events. This treatment also provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in varied UK weather conditions and extended storage periods. Whether you're replacing a bent or worn shaft from enthusiastic racing or simply maintaining your vehicle at peak performance, this genuine TLR component will deliver the reliability and consistency expected from a premium RC car manufacturer. The engineering quality evident in this shock shaft is the same attention to detail that makes Team Losi Racing vehicles competitive at the highest levels of organised RC racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock shaft and why do I need to replace it? — A shock shaft is the central rod component of a shock absorber that moves through the damper body, converting suspension movement into damping force. Shock shafts become bent or worn through aggressive driving, impacts, and normal wear, compromising suspension performance and handling. Replacing a damaged shaft with this genuine TLR component restores your vehicle's suspension to factory specifications and performance.
- Is the TiCN coating really worth the extra cost? — Yes, absolutely. The titanium carbonitride coating significantly extends the working life of the shock shaft by reducing friction and preventing corrosion. For UK-based RC enthusiasts dealing with variable weather conditions, moisture, and intensive use, the TiCN coating delivers genuine value by keeping your suspension components performing at peak efficiency for longer.
- How do I know if my shock shaft needs replacing? — If you notice your RC buggy pulling to one side, diving excessively under acceleration, or if the suspension feels notchy or unresponsive, a bent or damaged shock shaft is often the culprit. Visual inspection under good lighting may reveal bending or surface damage. If you've had a hard impact or crash, replacing shock shafts is a sensible preventative measure.
- Will this fit my TLR vehicle? — This shock shaft is specifically designed for TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE and TLR 22X-4 ELITE models as listed. If you own a different TLR platform, please verify the part number (Z-TLR333012) against your vehicle manual or contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for compatibility advice.
- Why choose genuine TLR parts over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine TLR parts are engineered to exact specifications that match your vehicle's design, ensuring perfect fit, optimal performance, and reliability. Aftermarket alternatives may vary in tolerance, coating quality, and material consistency. For racers and serious enthusiasts, genuine components eliminate variables and deliver predictable, competitive performance.
- Can I fit this myself or do I need a professional? — Shock shaft replacement is within reach of most RC hobbyists with basic mechanical skills and a small toolkit, though you'll need a shock disassembly tool or capable local RC shop if you don't already have the right equipment. If you're unsure, our team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide guidance or recommend local support.
