Technical Performance
The TLR Machined Shock Pistons represent a critical component within the G3 12mm big bore shock system that defines the handling characteristics of the TLR 22 5.0 DC Race Roller. These machined pistons work in conjunction with the shock body, shock shafts, and internal sealing components to control suspension damping and deliver the plush handling that makes the TLR 22 5.0 DC such a renowned competition buggy. The 1.5mm piston diameter is one of several tuning options available in the G3 shock range, allowing competitive racers to fine-tune their suspension response. The machined construction ensures consistency and reliability across multiple shock applications, which is essential for maintaining predictable handling throughout a race or practice session. The TLR 22 5.0 DC Race Roller's 2.0mm milled aluminium chassis benefits from properly tuned suspension that allows the buggy to corner smoothly, maintain balance during landing from jumps without bouncing, and provide consistent performance on dirt and clay tracks. The updated steering geometry of the TLR 22 5.0 creates noticeably smoother high-speed and off-centre steering, which works in harmony with the G3 shock tuning to deliver superior control and predictability. By selecting the correct piston size for your specific track conditions and driving preferences, you can optimise your suspension setup to achieve maximum performance. These machined shock pistons are built to withstand the rigorous demands of RC racing, where high-level competition buggies endure punishment during landings and crashes that deliver significant jolts to all vehicle components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock piston and why does it matter for my RC buggy? — A shock piston is the internal component within a shock absorber that controls how the suspension compresses and extends. The piston diameter directly affects damping characteristics and suspension stiffness. Different piston sizes allow racers to tune their buggy's handling for different track conditions, making it a crucial tuning component for competition RC racing on UK tracks.
- Will these pistons fit my TLR 22 5.0 DC Race Roller? — Yes, these machined shock pistons are specifically designed for the G3 12mm big bore shock system that comes standard on the TLR 22 5.0 DC Race Roller. They will fit perfectly within your existing shock bodies and work seamlessly with your current suspension setup.
- What is the difference between the 1.5mm, 1.6mm, and 1.7mm piston options? — The different piston diameters provide various tuning options within the G3 shock system. The 1.5mm pistons offer a specific damping curve, while 1.6mm and 1.7mm options provide alternative suspension characteristics. Team Losi Racing offers these multiple sizes so racers can dial in their suspension response for their preferred driving style and track conditions.
- Are these genuine TLR parts? — Yes, these are genuine Team Losi Racing components. RC Model Shop is an authorised dealer for all brands we stock, including TLR, ensuring you receive authentic products that fit perfectly and perform as intended by the manufacturer.
- Do I need any special tools to install these shock pistons? — Shock piston replacement requires basic RC buggy maintenance knowledge and tools. You will need to disassemble your G3 shock body to access and replace the pistons. If you are unfamiliar with shock maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance and support.
- How often should I replace my shock pistons? — Shock pistons are durable components, but if you notice changes in suspension response, uneven damping between shocks, or if your pistons become damaged during crashes, replacement is recommended. Keeping spares on hand is practical for competitive racers who attend multiple events.
