Key Features
- Genuine Losi Engineering — These front shocks are manufactured by Losi using the same quality standards and design principles that define their complete range of RC vehicles, ensuring compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
- Premium Aluminium Construction — The shocks are built from high-quality aluminium, providing an excellent balance between lightweight design and structural rigidity, which translates to improved suspension response and longer component lifespan.
- Optimised for Micro-Scale Performance — Specifically engineered for the Losi Micro-B (1/24 scale) and Micro-T (1/28 scale) platforms, these shocks are precisely calibrated to deliver the handling characteristics these vehicles were designed to provide.
- Drop-In Replacement Design — The shocks are designed as direct replacements for the original front suspension components, meaning installation is straightforward and requires no chassis modifications or complex adjustments.
- Enhanced Suspension Tuning — Upgraded shocks allow for more refined handling tuning and weight transfer characteristics, enabling drivers to dial in their preferred driving feel whether for casual driving or competitive racing.
- Improved Durability — High-quality materials and precision manufacturing mean these shocks maintain consistent performance through repeated use, making them a cost-effective long-term investment in your RC vehicle.
Technical Performance
These aluminium front shocks represent a significant step up in suspension technology for micro-scale RC vehicles. The premium material selection ensures that the shocks deliver consistent damping characteristics across a wide range of driving conditions and surfaces. The aluminium construction provides excellent heat dissipation, which helps maintain stable performance even during extended driving sessions. Losi has engineered these shocks with precision tolerances that work in harmony with the Micro-B and Micro-T chassis geometry, ensuring that suspension geometry remains optimal regardless of driving style or terrain. The shock design incorporates proven damping technology that absorbs impacts efficiently whilst maintaining vehicle stability during cornering and acceleration. For drivers working with these compact 1/24 and 1/28 scale vehicles, suspension quality has an outsized impact on overall performance — minor improvements in shock responsiveness translate to noticeably better handling. Whether you're running these vehicles indoors on carpet or outdoors on tarmac, dirt, or grass, quality shocks make the difference between a vehicle that feels responsive and nimble versus one that feels unpredictable or sluggish. The compact dimensions are specifically engineered to fit within the tight suspension geometry of these micro-scale platforms without adding unnecessary weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these front shocks compatible with both the Losi Micro-B and Micro-T? — Yes, these shocks are engineered to work with both the Losi Micro-B (1/24 scale 2WD buggy) and the Micro-T (1/28 scale stadium truck), making them versatile upgrade components for multiple micro-scale Losi platforms.
- What is the benefit of upgrading to aluminium shocks on a micro-scale RC vehicle? — Aluminium shocks provide superior durability compared to plastic components, maintain more consistent damping characteristics, dissipate heat more effectively, and offer better suspension geometry stability, all of which combine to improve handling, traction, and overall driving enjoyment on vehicles of this scale.
- Do I need any special tools to install these shocks? — These shocks are designed as direct replacements for the original suspension components, so installation should be relatively straightforward using standard RC tools and screwdrivers. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific installation instructions.
- Will these shocks improve the handling of my Micro-B or Micro-T? — Yes, quality suspension components have a dramatic effect on micro-scale vehicle handling. These shocks will provide more responsive suspension action, better weight transfer during cornering, and improved overall stability compared to worn or lower-quality original shocks.
- Are these genuine Losi parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Losi-manufactured components, ensuring perfect compatibility with your Micro-B or Micro-T platform and guaranteeing that performance and quality standards match the rest of your vehicle's components.
- How do front shocks affect micro-scale RC performance? — Front suspension is critical on any RC vehicle because it controls how the front end of the vehicle responds to terrain irregularities, impacts, and weight transfer during acceleration and braking, directly affecting traction and handling characteristics.
