Overview
The RC Overhaul Aluminium Front and Rear Shock Mounts for Micro-B (part number G-RCO-LOS16) are precision-engineered chassis upgrade components designed specifically for the Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy platform. Whether you are building a brand new micro-scale RC buggy from the ground up, performing maintenance on an existing model, or undertaking a comprehensive chassis refresh, these aluminium shock mounts provide the durability and reliability that serious RC enthusiasts demand. For anyone looking to upgrade their Micro-B platform with quality aftermarket parts, these mounts represent an excellent choice from RC Overhaul, a recognised name in the RC hobby community across the UK and beyond.
These shock mounts serve a critical function in your micro RC buggy's suspension system, acting as the mounting points where the front and rear dampers connect to the chassis. The use of aluminium construction over standard plastic alternatives means improved rigidity, better shock response characteristics, and enhanced longevity during both casual bashing sessions and more demanding track use. If you are serious about maintaining or upgrading your Micro-B RC buggy, investing in quality aluminium components like these shock mounts is an intelligent decision that will pay dividends in performance and durability.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine RC Overhaul parts and accessories for micro-scale RC vehicles, ensuring you get authentic products with proper warranty support. Whether you are a beginner discovering the world of ready to run RC buggies or an experienced hobbyist looking for specific upgrade parts, our comprehensive range of spares and tune-up options means you can find exactly what you need to build, repair, or enhance your Micro-B platform.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — These shock mounts are manufactured from aluminium rather than plastic, which provides superior rigidity and durability compared to stock components, ensuring your suspension geometry remains consistent even under demanding driving conditions.
- Front and Rear Mount Set — The package includes both front and rear shock mounting points, allowing you to upgrade your entire suspension mounting system in one purchase for consistent performance across the chassis.
- Micro-B Platform Compatibility — These mounts are specifically engineered for the Losi 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment without modification or adaptation required.
- Tune-Up Category Part — Classified as a tune-up option, these mounts allow you to incrementally upgrade your Micro-B without requiring a complete chassis replacement, making them ideal for hobbyists who like to customise and optimise their vehicles.
- Easy Identification — The clear product naming and part number (G-RCO-LOS16) help with straightforward identification in your pit box or parts inventory, ensuring you always have the correct component on hand.
- Precision Mounting Points — These components serve as the mounting points for the dampers at the front and rear of your micro-scale chassis, providing the stable foundation your shocks need for optimal suspension performance.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Aluminium Front and Rear Shock Mounts represent a step up in chassis engineering for the Micro-B platform. By choosing aluminium over the plastic found in many standard setups, you gain a component that maintains dimensional accuracy under stress and heat, which is essential for preserving your vehicle's suspension geometry during extended running sessions. The shock mounting points are the critical interface between your dampers and chassis, and using aluminium construction at this junction ensures minimal flex and consistent shock response throughout your driving session. This becomes particularly important when tuning your vehicle's suspension characteristics—whether you are adjusting spring rates, damper oil viscosity, or ride height, having a rigid mounting platform means your suspension adjustments will have the intended effect rather than being lost to mount deflection. For anyone running their Micro-B RC buggy regularly, whether at local tracks, in your garden, or at organised RC events across the UK, these aluminium mounts will contribute to more predictable handling and faster lap times. The engineering approach taken by RC Overhaul focuses on delivering components that work seamlessly with the existing Micro-B platform, meaning no expensive additional modifications or incompatible parts are needed.
