Overview
The Team Losi Racing Shock Plastics (model Z-TLR243038) are genuine OEM replacement components designed specifically for the TLR 8IGHT-X and 8IGHT-XE 1/8 scale off-road racing buggies. These shock plastic components are essential wear items that maintain the suspension geometry and performance of your competition-grade RC buggy.

The 8IGHT-X and 8IGHT-XE represent some of the fastest and most capable 1/8 scale buggies available to RC racing competitors. These race buggies are engineered for victory on the track, but even the toughest components experience wear through the stress of vibration, impacts from jumps, and the demands of competitive racing. The shock plastics form a critical part of the suspension system, and when they become damaged or worn, replacement with genuine TLR parts is the fastest path back to peak performance.
These shock plastics have been manufactured by Team Losi Racing specifically for 8X and 8XE models, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility. Because they are track-tested components used and proven by TLR factory drivers under genuine competition conditions, you can trust that these parts will deliver the reliability and precision required to keep your RC buggy in winning form. Stock these essential components in your pit box or workshop so you're always prepared to maintain your suspension system and keep your buggy ready for the next race.

Technical Performance
The TLR Shock Plastics represent the culmination of Team Losi Racing's extensive experience in 1/8 scale off-road racing. The 8IGHT-X and 8IGHT-XE 2.0 Race Kits have been engineered with suspension geometry and chassis design that prioritise both speed and handling precision. The shock plastics form part of this carefully engineered suspension system, contributing to the overall performance envelope that has made these buggies competitive in the most demanding racing environments. Team Losi Racing engineers have applied the same meticulous attention to detail that goes into the buggy's chassis design, drivetrain, and suspension geometry to every replacement component. The construction and material selection of these shock plastics ensures they can withstand the significant stresses imposed by racing: the constant vibration of high-speed running, the impact forces from landing jumps, and the demands of aggressive cornering. Using genuine TLR replacement parts maintains the precise engineering tolerances built into your 8IGHT-X or 8IGHT-XE, ensuring that your suspension behaves exactly as it was designed to perform. These are not generic shock parts adapted from other manufacturers—they are purpose-built for these specific TLR 1/8 buggies, and that precision engineering directly translates to better handling, more predictable suspension response, and ultimately faster lap times on the track.
