Overview
The Team Losi Racing Shock Seal Bushings, Machined, G3 3mm V2 are precision-engineered replacement components designed for competitive RC racers who demand the highest performance from their TLR vehicles. Whether you're running a TLR 22 5.0, TLR 22X-4 ELITE, or any other G3 platform buggy, these machined shock seal bushings are essential maintenance items that ensure your shock absorbers continue to perform at their peak. As an authorised Team Losi Racing dealer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine TLR parts that have been factory-tested and proven under race conditions by TLR's professional drivers.
In the demanding world of RC racing, every component of your RC car is pushed to the absolute limit. High-stakes competition on the track means constant vibration, impact forces, and the wear and tear that comes with jumping, landing, and cornering at speed. The shock system is one of the most critical parts of any RC buggy or RC truggy, directly affecting handling, grip, and overall stability. The shock seal bushings play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of your shock absorbers by preventing fluid leakage and ensuring consistent damping performance throughout your race day.
This genuine TLR replacement part comes as a set of four machined bushings, sized specifically at 3mm for G3 shock systems. The V2 specification represents the latest engineering refinement from Team Losi Racing, ensuring compatibility with the newest generation of TLR racing vehicles. Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to maintain your race-winning setup or an enthusiast who wants to keep their RC car UK-ready and competition-grade, these shock seal bushings are an important addition to your pit box.
Key Features
- Machined Construction — These bushings are precision-machined rather than stamped or moulded, which means they offer superior dimensional accuracy and consistency batch-to-batch, ensuring perfect fit and function every time you install them into your shock system.
- G3 Platform Compatibility — Designed specifically for Team Losi Racing's G3 generation vehicles, these bushings guarantee perfect fitment without the risk of compatibility issues that can occur when using generic or aftermarket alternatives.
- 3mm Specification — The 3mm size is the correct specification for G3 shock systems, ensuring that your shocks seal properly and maintain their damping characteristics throughout your racing session.
- V2 Version — The V2 designation indicates these are the latest version of this component, benefiting from any refinements or improvements Team Losi Racing has made to the original design based on feedback from factory drivers and racers worldwide.
- Set of Four — This pack includes four bushings, providing replacement for a complete four-shock system, which is the standard configuration for most RC buggies and truggies.
- Factory-Tested Performance — All Team Losi Racing parts are tested and approved by TLR's professional drivers in actual race conditions, so you know you're getting components that truly work at the highest competitive level.
- Direct from the Manufacturer — By purchasing genuine TLR parts from an authorised retailer like RC Model Shop, you avoid the risk of receiving counterfeit or incompatible components that could compromise your race day performance.
Technical Performance
The shock seal bushings are a critical but often overlooked component in the shock assembly of any serious RC race car. These machined bushings work in conjunction with the seal sets (such as the TLR233060 X-Ring seal set) to prevent fluid from leaking out of your shock body whilst allowing the piston rod to move smoothly through its range of motion. The machined construction of these bushings offers several performance advantages over cheaper alternatives. Precision machining ensures that each bushing is dimensionally identical to its companions, meaning your shocks will have consistent performance across all four corners of your vehicle. This consistency is crucial in competitive racing, where even tiny variations in damping can affect how your RC buggy turns, accelerates, and handles bumps in the track surface. The 3mm bore diameter is specifically engineered to work with G3 shock bodies, providing the exact clearance needed for optimal sealing without excessive friction that could slow the piston movement. The V2 version incorporates any lessons learned from the original G3 design, potentially offering improved longevity or performance characteristics based on extensive testing by factory drivers. When you're trying to maintain the edge needed to win races or simply want to keep your RC car in optimal working condition between events, using genuine machined components like these ensures your suspension system continues to deliver the responsive, predictable damping that makes TLR vehicles famous in competitive RC racing circles across the UK and worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of shock seal bushings in my RC car? — Shock seal bushings are precision components that work as part of your shock absorber assembly to prevent fluid leakage from the shock body whilst allowing the piston rod to move smoothly. They're essential for maintaining consistent damping performance throughout your race day and preventing the gradual loss of shock fluid that can degrade suspension performance over time.
- Are these bushings compatible with my TLR vehicle? — These bushings are designed specifically for Team Losi Racing G3 platform vehicles such as the TLR 22 5.0, TLR 22 5.0 Roller, TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE, TLR 22X-4 ELITE, and other G3-based models. The 3mm specification and V2 version ensure perfect compatibility with these platforms. If you're unsure whether your vehicle uses G3 shocks, consult your vehicle's manual or contact us for confirmation.
- Do I need to replace my shock bushings regularly? — Shock seal bushings are wear items that can become compressed or damaged over time, especially in high-intensity racing where your RC car experiences constant impacts and vibration. Many competitive racers keep spare sets on hand to maintain peak performance. If you notice your shocks becoming less responsive or if you detect fluid leakage, it's time to replace these bushings.
- Can I use aftermarket or generic shock bushings instead of genuine TLR parts? — Whilst aftermarket bushings might seem like a cost-saving option, genuine TLR parts are engineered specifically for your vehicle's shock system and have been tested extensively by factory drivers. Using non-genuine parts risks compatibility issues, poor sealing, and inconsistent damping performance that could cost you positions in a race or compromise your RC car's handling characteristics.
- What tools do I need to install these bushings? — Installation typically requires basic tools including a small socket or hex wrench to disassemble your shocks and possibly a shock rod tool to help push the bushings onto the piston rod. Consult your vehicle's assembly manual for detailed installation instructions specific to your model.
- Should I replace other shock components at the same time? — When you're replacing shock bushings, it's often a good time to inspect other shock components such as seals and pistons. Team Losi Racing offers complementary parts like the Seal Set, X-Rings, G3 3mm V2 (TLR233060) and Machined Shock Pistons, 2 x 1.6mm, G3 (TLR233036) that work together to keep your suspension system in perfect working order.
