Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul G-RCO-AX010 shock absorbers represent a sophisticated engineering solution for micro crawler suspension tuning. Built with a hybrid construction combining aluminium alloy ends with hardened steel shafts, these shocks deliver the perfect balance between lightweight performance and impact durability. The threaded shock body design is a critical feature that allows users to adjust spring preload incrementally, enabling precise ride height control essential for navigating obstacle courses and rocky terrain where clearance and suspension geometry directly impact vehicle performance. The removable top cap design is particularly innovative, allowing users to introduce thick grease or damping fluid inside the shock body to create custom damping curves tailored to specific terrain conditions. Unlike simpler shock designs that offer limited tuning options, this system transforms your suspension setup from a fixed component into a fully adjustable tuning platform. The inclusion of brass pivot balls ensures smooth rotational movement at suspension attachment points, critical for consistent handling through multiple drive cycles. The steel shafts provide exceptional torsional rigidity whilst maintaining the low rotating mass necessary for responsive suspension action. The optional softer spring set opens up a wider tuning window, allowing drivers to explore different spring rates to achieve optimal load distribution and traction characteristics across varied terrain types including rock gardens, sand, mud, and loose gravel surfaces typical of UK RC crawling venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial SCX24 and AX24 models are compatible with these shocks? — The RC Overhaul G-RCO-AX010 shocks are designed for the full range of Axial 1/24 scale micro crawlers, including the SCX24 Jeep Wrangler JLU RTR, SCX24 1967 and 1971 Chevrolet C10 models, SCX24 Lexus GX 470 Rock Crawler RTR, SCX24 Base Camp RTR, SCX24 Ford Bronco 4x4 RTR models, SCX24 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 RTR, SCX24 Deadbolt Rock Crawler RTR, SCX24 Dodge Power Wagon RTR, SCX24 Jeep Gladiator 4WD RTR, and the AX24 XC-1 4WS Crawler. Check your specific model number against the manufacturer compatibility list to confirm fitment before purchase.
- What makes these shocks better than the plastic shocks on standard RTR kits? — Stock plastic shocks on ready-to-run RC crawlers offer basic suspension function but limited tuning capability and durability. These all-metal RC Overhaul shocks transform your suspension through threaded bodies for infinitely adjustable ride height, removable caps for custom damping, softer optional springs for different terrain conditions, and premium materials including aluminium and steel that withstand repeated impacts far better than plastic components. The durability alone means these shocks will survive years of intense use whilst maintaining consistent performance.
- Can I adjust the ride height on my SCX24 with these shocks? — Yes, absolutely. The threaded shock body design allows you to rotate the shock to adjust spring preload and ride height precisely. By threading the shock body in or out, you can raise or lower your vehicle's stance to optimise ground clearance for different terrain, adjust weight distribution for improved traction, or change suspension geometry to fine-tune handling characteristics. This level of adjustability is essential for serious RC crawling.
- How do I use the optional softer springs included in the kit? — The kit includes both your original springs and a softer spring set. You can swap between these spring sets to experiment with suspension feel and find your preferred setup. Softer springs provide more suspension travel and a more compliant ride on rough terrain but may reduce ride height and steering response, whilst stiffer springs offer quicker steering response and higher ride height but less suspension comfort. Testing both allows you to find your optimal balance.
- How do I add damping grease to the shocks? — The removable top cap design allows you to access the interior of each shock body. By removing the top cap carefully, you can introduce thick grease or specialised damping fluid inside the shock to create custom damping characteristics. More grease means stiffer damping and reduced suspension movement, whilst less grease allows freer suspension action. This advanced tuning method is typically used by experienced RC enthusiasts to fine-tune suspension behaviour for specific driving conditions.
- Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — Whilst these shocks are premium components that will enhance any SCX24 or AX24, beginners can certainly benefit from their improved durability and basic threaded preload adjustment. However, the full potential of these shocks including custom damping with grease and spring swapping is best appreciated by intermediate and advanced drivers who understand suspension tuning principles. Beginners should focus on basic preload adjustment initially before experimenting with more advanced tuning techniques.
- What is the difference between these RC Overhaul shocks and other aftermarket options? — RC Overhaul shocks stand out through their all-metal construction combining aluminium and steel for optimal strength-to-weight ratio, the innovative removable top cap design for custom damping, threaded bodies for precise adjustment, and the included softer spring set that expands your tuning options. The complete package approach means you have everything needed for suspension setup without purchasing additional components separately, offering excellent value for UK RC enthusiasts.
- How durable are these shocks compared to plastic stock shocks? — The all-metal construction using aluminium alloy and hardened steel is dramatically more durable than plastic. Whilst plastic shocks can crack or break under heavy impacts or repeated stress, these metal shocks absorb punishment and maintain performance consistently. The brass pivot balls and steel shafts resist wear far better than plastic equivalents, meaning these shocks should provide years of reliable performance even with intensive use on challenging terrain.
- Do these shocks work on both rock crawling and general bashing? — Yes, these shocks excel in both scenarios. For rock crawling where precision suspension tuning and durability matter most, the adjustable threaded bodies and premium materials make them ideal. For general bashing and play, the robust all-metal construction handles impacts reliably. You can also adjust the setup using softer springs or damping grease to suit your particular use case, making them genuinely versatile.
