The TLR 22X-4 ELITE platform represents years of championship-winning development, and maintaining your shocks with genuine TLR replacement parts means you're preserving that engineered excellence. This two-piece set of bottom shock caps gives you everything needed to refresh both rear shocks or maintain your vehicle's suspension in race-ready condition.
Key Features
- Genuine TLR Manufacturing — These shock caps are made by Team Losi Racing, not by a third-party manufacturer, which means they meet the exact specifications and quality standards of the original components, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance every single time you use them.
- Compatibility with TLR 22 and TLR 22-4 — Designed specifically for both the TLR 22 and TLR 22-4 models, this part integrates seamlessly with the proven suspension geometry and damping systems that have won ROAR Nationals and countless regional championships.
- Suspension System Protection — The shock cap bottom seals the lower end of your shock assembly, protecting the delicate internal piston and damping mechanisms from dirt, mud, water, and track debris that could compromise damping performance and longevity.
- Two-Piece Set — This package includes two shock caps (one for each rear shock), so you have both components needed to fully service the rear suspension or replace damaged caps on both sides simultaneously.
- Championship-Proven Design — These shock caps have been used and successfully track-tested by TLR Factory Team drivers under genuine competition conditions, meaning they have proven their reliability under the most demanding circumstances.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Regular shock maintenance is critical in highly competitive RC racing, where suspension components are pushed to their limits by vibration, crashes, and extreme track conditions; genuine TLR replacement parts ensure your buggy stays in winning condition.
Technical Performance
The TLR 22X-4 ELITE represents the pinnacle of 1/10 scale 4WD RC buggy engineering, and every component in the suspension system has been meticulously designed to work in perfect harmony. The shock cap bottom is a precision-engineered part that plays a vital role in maintaining the sealed environment required for consistent damping performance. In high-level competitive RC racing, even tiny variations in shock sealing can translate to noticeable differences in handling characteristics, traction, and overall vehicle response. The TLR product development team applies the same expertise that puts Team Losi RC vehicles high on the podium to every single replacement part. These shock caps are manufactured to exacting tolerances using materials selected for durability and reliability under the extreme stresses of competition racing. The suspension system of the TLR 22X-4 ELITE is one of the most advanced in 1/10 scale racing, featuring 42mm shocks with precisely tuned pistons, springs, and damping characteristics that work together to provide superior control and traction. The shock caps seal this assembly, protecting the internal components from contamination whilst maintaining the pressure and damping consistency required for podium-worthy performance on dirt and clay tracks. When you need to service your suspension or replace worn shock components, using genuine TLR replacement parts like these shock cap bottoms ensures that your buggy maintains the engineering integrity and performance characteristics that make the TLR 22X-4 ELITE such a formidable competitor.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need to replace shock cap bottoms on my RC buggy? — Shock caps seal the lower end of your shock assembly and protect the internal damping mechanisms from dirt, mud, water, and track debris. Over time, they can become worn, cracked, or damaged through normal racing wear and tear or crashes. Replacing them with genuine TLR shock caps ensures your shocks maintain proper sealing and damping performance, which is absolutely critical for consistent handling and competitive lap times.
- Will these fit my TLR 22-4 buggy? — Yes, these shock cap bottoms are specifically designed for both the TLR 22 and TLR 22-4 models. The compatibility is exact, which means you get perfect fitment and integrated performance with your buggy's suspension system. If you own either of these championship-winning platforms, these genuine TLR parts are the correct choice for replacement or service.
- How often should I replace my shock caps? — In competitive RC racing, shock components should be inspected regularly after each racing event. If you notice any cracks, damage, or wear on the shock caps, they should be replaced immediately to maintain proper sealing and damping. Even if they appear intact, routine maintenance and replacement of shock seals and caps every racing season is recommended by TLR to ensure your buggy stays in peak condition.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are genuine replacement parts designed for owners of TLR 22 or TLR 22-4 buggies who need to service or replace worn shock components.

If you own one of these buggies and need shock maintenance parts, you've found exactly what you need.
- What makes TLR parts different from aftermarket alternatives? — Team Losi Racing manufactures genuine OEM replacement parts that have been used and successfully track-tested by TLR Factory Team drivers under genuine competition conditions. Aftermarket parts are made by third-party manufacturers and may not meet the exact specifications of the original components. Using genuine TLR replacement parts ensures perfect fitment, reliable performance, and the engineering integrity that makes these buggies so competitive.
