Overview
The Losi Rear Shock Set Complete for Mini-T 2.0 and Mini-B is a premium suspension upgrade designed to enhance the performance and durability of your 1/16 and 1/18 scale RC buggy and stadium truck. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking to maintain your ready to run RC car or a dedicated racer seeking to optimise your vehicle's handling characteristics, this complete shock set delivers the quality engineering that has made Losi a recognised leader in the RC hobby. The shocks feature advanced design elements derived from Losi's championship-winning TLR 22 platform, scaled down perfectly for Mini-class vehicles.
This replacement shock set is essential for any Mini-T 2.0 or Mini-B owner who wants to maintain peak suspension performance or restore their RC buggy after wear and tear. The shocks are a critical component of your vehicle's chassis dynamics, directly affecting how your RC model handles corners, absorbs terrain impact, and maintains traction across different surfaces. With proper suspension setup, you'll notice improved steering response, better stability on the track, and more predictable handling that translates to faster lap times and more enjoyable driving experiences.
The complete shock set arrives ready to install, making it an ideal spare part for competitive racers, casual weekend bashers, and anyone serious about maintaining their Mini-class RC vehicle in top condition. Available at RC Model Shop, a trusted UK retailer of quality RC components and upgrades.
Key Features
- 7mm Bore Aluminium Threaded Oil Filled Shocks — The shocks feature a robust 7mm bore design with aluminium construction, providing excellent durability and heat dissipation during extended driving sessions. The threaded shock collars allow for easy preload and ride height adjustments without requiring specialised tools, enabling you to fine-tune your suspension setup to match your driving style and track conditions.
- Bottom Loading Rebuildable Shock Cartridge — The innovative bottom loading design makes maintenance and rebuilding straightforward, allowing you to access the shock internals without complete disassembly. This design philosophy reflects professional race engineering standards, making it easier to service your shocks and extend their operational lifespan.
- Dual O-Ring Sealing System — Two precision o-rings work together to contain the shock fluid, preventing leaks and maintaining consistent dampening performance throughout your driving sessions. This redundant sealing approach ensures reliability whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual backyard bashers.
- Two-Hole Shock Piston Design — The dual-hole piston configuration provides precise control over dampening rates, allowing the shock fluid to flow at a controlled rate through the piston holes. This engineering detail is crucial for achieving the balance between comfort and performance, helping your Mini-class RC buggy or stadium truck handle both smooth and bumpy terrain effectively.
- TLR 22 Suspension Geometry Derived Engineering — Built on suspension principles proven by championship-winning full-size 1/10 TLR 22 buggies, these shocks integrate seamlessly with the Mini-B and Mini-T 2.0 suspension geometry. This means you're getting suspension technology validated through years of competitive racing, scaled appropriately for 1/16 and 1/18 scale vehicles.
- Complete Shock Set Ready to Install — This is not just an individual shock but a complete rear shock set, so you have everything needed to restore or upgrade your Mini-class vehicle's rear suspension in one purchase. No need to source matching pairs or hunt for compatible components.
Technical Performance
The Losi Rear Shock Set delivers the performance standards you'd expect from a manufacturer with Losi's racing heritage. The 7mm bore aluminium construction combines lightweight properties with excellent rigidity, ensuring that suspension forces are transmitted efficiently through the chassis without flex or deformation. The shock bodies are oil-filled, a professional-grade feature that maintains consistent dampening performance across varying temperatures and driving conditions—critical when you're pushing your RC buggy to its limits on the track. The threaded aluminium collars enable micro-adjustments to preload and ride height, allowing racers to dial in the perfect setup for different track conditions. Whether you're racing on a prepared indoor carpet track, a dusty outdoor circuit, or rocky terrain, these shocks adapt to your needs. The bottom-loading rebuildable cartridge design reflects genuine professional engineering; rather than forcing complete disassembly to service the shocks, you can access the internal components efficiently. The dual o-ring sealing system ensures that the shock fluid remains contained, maintaining the precise dampening characteristics that directly affect your Mini-T 2.0 or Mini-B's handling. Built to the exacting standards of Losi's championship-winning suspension platform and scaled for 1/16 and 1/18 scale operation, these shocks represent the quality engineering you need for serious RC performance, whether you're competing in organised races or enjoying enthusiast-level driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are compatible with this Losi rear shock set? — This rear shock set is designed specifically for the Losi 1/16 Mini-B 2WD Buggy in both brushed and brushless versions, as well as the Losi 1/18 Mini-T 2.0 V2 2WD Stadium Truck in both red and blue colour options. The shock set integrates with the suspension geometry of these Mini-class vehicles, making it a direct replacement for worn or damaged shocks.
- How often should I service these shocks? — The frequency of shock service depends on your driving intensity and conditions. Casual weekend drivers might service shocks annually, whilst competitive racers should inspect and potentially service shocks more frequently. The bottom-loading rebuildable design makes this maintenance straightforward compared to many other shock designs.
- Can I adjust the ride height on these shocks? — Yes, the threaded aluminium shock collars allow for easy preload and ride height adjustments. You can raise or lower the ride height by rotating the collar, which is a fundamental tuning adjustment that affects how your Mini-T 2.0 or Mini-B handles different track conditions.
- Are these shocks suitable for both racing and bashing? — Absolutely. Whilst these shocks are engineered using championship racing suspension geometry, their robust construction and adjustable dampening make them equally suitable for competitive racing and casual recreational driving. The dual o-ring sealing and oil-filled design provide reliability whether you're chasing lap times or enjoying high-speed backyard fun.
- What is the advantage of oil-filled shocks? — Oil-filled shocks maintain consistent dampening performance across varying temperatures and driving conditions, unlike air-filled alternatives. The oil absorbs heat generated during suspension compression, helping maintain stable handling characteristics throughout your driving session.
- Why is the bottom-loading design important? — The bottom-loading rebuildable cartridge design allows you to access and service the shock internals without requiring complete disassembly of the shock body. This makes maintenance simpler, faster, and more practical for home RC enthusiasts and serious racers alike.
