Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this shock shaft compatible with other TLR models? — This shock shaft is specifically designed for the TLR 8IGHT-X and may not be compatible with other TLR vehicles. Always verify the part number with your specific model to ensure correct fitment and performance.
- Why do I need to replace my shock shafts? — During competitive RC racing, shock shafts are subjected to enormous stress from impacts, jumps, and crashes. Over time, they can bend, fatigue, or wear, affecting your suspension performance and handling. Keeping spare shock shafts in your pit box allows you to make quick repairs and maintain peak racing performance.
- How often should I replace my shock shafts? — The lifespan of a shock shaft depends on your racing intensity and driving style. Competitive racers typically keep multiple spare shafts available for trackside replacement, whilst weekend bashers may only need replacements after impacts or crashes.
- What size shocks does the 8IGHT-X use? — The 8IGHT-X features 16mm shocks in the front and this 3.5mm diameter rear shock shaft is part of the rear shock assembly. TLR offers a complete range of shock parts and maintenance items to keep your suspension system in optimal condition.
- How do I know if my shock shaft is bent? — A bent shock shaft will typically cause handling issues, uneven ride height, or visible misalignment when viewed from the side of the vehicle. If you suspect damage, it's best to replace the shaft to maintain consistent performance.
