Technical Performance

The Team Associated FT 3x23 Shock Shaft V2 represents precision engineering in shock component design. The 3x23 designation indicates specific dimensional specifications that ensure perfect compatibility with Team Associated's shock absorber systems. Built from high-quality materials with a protective chrome finish, this shock shaft is engineered to withstand the dynamic forces generated during aggressive acceleration, cornering, and braking on competitive tracks and casual running surfaces across the UK. The V2 iteration incorporates refinements that enhance the consistency of damping performance throughout extended use, maintaining smooth suspension response even as the shock absorber experiences hundreds or thousands of compression and extension cycles. Team Associated's Factory Team manufacturing standards ensure tight tolerances and dimensional accuracy critical for maintaining the precise fluid dynamics within shock absorbers. The chrome finish not only provides aesthetic appeal but also offers corrosion resistance, protecting the shaft from oxidation and ensuring smooth operation through multiple seasons of use. Whether running in wet British conditions or dry summer racing, this component maintains its dimensional integrity and protective coating. The shaft works in conjunction with shock springs, pistons, and damping fluid to create the controlled suspension movement essential for maintaining consistent handling characteristics, predictable vehicle behaviour, and comfortable driving experience for the operator.
