Technical Performance
The TLR 16mm Shock Shaft represents Team Losi Racing's commitment to precision manufacturing and performance engineering. Crafted with a 4mm rod diameter and measuring 59.5mm in overall length, this component is specifically engineered for the rear shock assembly of the 8IGHT 4.0 platform, available in both nitro buggy and electric configurations. The TiCn (titanium carbonitride) coating is applied through a specialized process that creates a hardened surface layer, dramatically improving the shaft's resistance to friction, wear and corrosion compared to untreated steel. This coating technology is standard in professional-grade RC racing components and provides tangible benefits in terms of longevity and consistent performance across multiple racing seasons. The precise engineering ensures that suspension geometry remains accurate, directly impacting handling characteristics, traction and overall vehicle stability during high-speed running and aggressive cornering. For drivers running the 1/8 scale 8IGHT series platform—whether the nitro-powered 8IGHT 4.0, the electric-powered 8IGHT-E 4.0, or the nitro truggy variant 8IGHT-T 4.0—having quality replacement shock shafts available ensures that maintenance schedules can be met without compromise and that suspension performance remains consistent lap after lap.
