Overview
The Team Losi Racing 16mm Shock Piston Washer (8): 8B 3.0, 8X, 8XE is an essential replacement component for competitive 1/8 scale RC racing. These precision-engineered washers are specifically designed for the TLR 8IGHT-XT/XTE and related models, ensuring your suspension system maintains optimal performance during intense racing conditions. Whether you're a dedicated track competitor or an experienced RC hobbyist in the UK, having spare shock washers on hand is crucial for maintaining your RC car UK setup between races and during pit box repairs.
Team Losi Racing has built its reputation on championship-winning performance, and every replacement part reflects the same commitment to excellence that defines their race kits. The 16mm shock piston washers are manufactured to exact tolerances and have been track-tested by TLR factory team drivers under the most demanding racing conditions. This pack of eight washers provides you with multiple replacements, so you can keep your shock assemblies in peak racing form without worrying about stock running out during a critical season.
For anyone running a brushless RC truggy or nitro-powered racing vehicle from Team Losi Racing, these shock washers represent the kind of small but vital component that separates podium finishes from disappointing results. The rigorous vibration and impact forces experienced during RC racing can gradually wear these washers, affecting damping characteristics and overall suspension response. By maintaining a pit box stocked with TLR genuine parts like these shock washers, you ensure your ready to run RC truggy performs consistently race after race.

- Essential Suspension Maintenance — Shock washers work to support and space the piston assembly, affecting damping consistency and shock response characteristics crucial for competitive racing setups.
Technical Performance
The 16mm shock piston washers are critical components within the suspension assembly of 1/8 scale RC racing vehicles. Positioned on the shock piston shaft, these washers help distribute forces evenly and maintain precise spacing within the shock body, directly influencing how the damping system responds to track conditions. The washers experience constant stress from the compression and extension cycles of racing suspension, particularly during high-speed cornering, acceleration, and impact from jumps and terrain irregularities. By manufacturing these components to exacting standards, Team Losi Racing ensures consistent damping response across multiple shock cycles without the wear and deterioration that can occur with inferior quality washers. The material composition and precision machining of TLR washers means they maintain their dimensional stability race after race, preventing the kind of tolerance stack-up that degrades suspension performance over a season. For competitive 1/8 scale RC racing in the UK, where marginal gains in performance can determine race outcomes, genuine TLR replacement parts like these washers represent a fundamental investment in reliability and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock washers suitable for both nitro and electric RC truggies? — Yes, these 16mm shock piston washers are compatible with both nitro and electric versions of the TLR 8IGHT-XT/XTE and related models, making them essential spares for anyone running Team Losi Racing 1/8 scale competition vehicles powered by either fuel type.
- How often should I replace shock washers on my RC truggy? — Shock washers should be inspected regularly during maintenance checks, particularly after races or intensive track sessions. If you notice reduced damping consistency or any visible wear on the washers, replacement is recommended to maintain optimal suspension performance and prevent further component damage.
- Why do I need eight washers when my RC car only has four shocks? — Each shock assembly typically uses one washer, so this pack of eight provides you with two complete sets of replacement washers for both front and rear shocks, plus spares for when washers wear out or get lost during maintenance and rebuilds throughout the racing season.
- Will these washers work with other RC brands? — These washers are specifically designed for Team Losi Racing models including the 8B 3.0, 8X, and 8XE. They are engineered to precise TLR specifications and are not compatible with other manufacturers' shock systems, so always verify model compatibility before ordering.
- What size are these shock washers? — These are 16mm shock piston washers, designed for use with the 16mm shock systems found on TLR 1/8 scale race kits, including the championship-winning 8IGHT-XT/XTE truggy platform.
- Should I replace washers as routine maintenance? — Yes, as part of regular suspension maintenance, replacing worn washers helps ensure consistent damping response and prevents premature wear on other shock components, contributing to the reliability needed for competitive RC racing in the UK.
