Overview
The Team Associated MT12+ Lux Shock Set in Black (AS41161) is an essential genuine OEM replacement component for owners of the MT12 Monster Truck who want to maintain their vehicle in peak condition. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to keep your monster truck running smoothly, or someone who simply wants to restore worn suspension components, this shock set delivers authentic Team Associated quality and engineering. As a genuine spare part from the manufacturer, you can be confident that you're installing components designed specifically for your MT12, ensuring compatibility and performance that matches the original equipment.
Monster truck suspension is put through significant stress during typical use, whether you're bashing through rough terrain, jumping over obstacles, or competing in organised RC events. Over time, shock absorbers can lose their responsiveness, develop leaks, or simply wear out from the demands placed upon them. This is where genuine replacement shocks become invaluable. By replacing tired, worn shocks with this authentic Team Associated MT12+ Lux Shock Set, you're not just maintaining your truck—you're restoring it to its original performance characteristics and ensuring that your suspension geometry, damping characteristics, and overall handling remain as the engineers intended.
Finished in a clean black colour, this shock set helps restore the factory appearance of your MT12 Monster Truck whilst simultaneously improving its on-track or off-track performance. If you're serious about getting the most from your brushless RC monster truck or keeping your investment protected through proper maintenance, genuine OEM parts like this shock set are the smart choice for any RC car UK enthusiast.
Key Features
- Genuine Team Associated Spare Part — This is not a third-party or aftermarket product; it's the genuine OEM component manufactured by Team Associated specifically for the MT12 Monster Truck, ensuring perfect fit, function and compatibility with no guesswork involved.
- Black Finish — The factory black colour matches the original equipment and helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your truck whilst you're enjoying ready to run RC racing and bashing sessions.
- Perfect for Routine Maintenance — Whether you're performing scheduled maintenance or replacing components worn during regular use, this shock set restores your truck's suspension to its original condition and performance envelope.
- Keeps Suspension in Top Condition — Worn shocks compromise handling, reduce jump performance and impact absorption, and can even affect steering response; replacing them with genuine parts ensures your MT12 Monster Truck performs as it should.
- Replaces Worn Components — Over time, shock absorbers lose oil, seals degrade and internal components wear; this complete set ensures you're getting fresh, fully functional suspension components rather than attempting piecemeal repairs.
Technical Performance
The MT12+ Lux Shock Set represents Team Associated's commitment to quality construction and reliable performance in the demanding world of RC monster trucks. Shocks are critical suspension components that must absorb impacts, control body roll, maintain consistent ground contact and allow the truck to land jumps smoothly without bottoming out. The design and engineering that goes into Team Associated shocks ensures they deliver consistent damping characteristics across a range of driving conditions, from smooth carpeted indoor tracks to rough outdoor terrain. Whether you're running your truck on tarmac, grass, dirt or mixed surfaces, these genuine shocks provide the responsive, predictable handling that makes the MT12 Monster Truck popular with RC enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond. The quality of materials, precision manufacturing and attention to detail in these components means you can rely on consistent performance from your first run after installation through countless hours of use, supporting the reliability and longevity that serious RC hobbyists demand from their equipment.

- How do I know when my shocks need replacing? — Signs that your shocks may need replacement include loss of damping response (feeling like your truck bounces excessively), visible oil leaks from the shock bodies, a harsh or unpredictable ride feel, or poor landing characteristics after jumps. If you've been running your truck regularly, routine maintenance shocks every 12-24 months is common practice among serious RC enthusiasts.

If your shocks are already in good condition, you won't see a dramatic performance improvement, but you will ensure your truck continues to perform optimally.
- Can I install these shocks myself? — Shock replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can perform with basic tools. However, if you're not familiar with RC truck maintenance, we recommend consulting your MT12 manual or visiting RC Model Shop for professional guidance and support.
- What is a Lux shock? — The Lux designation refers to Team Associated's shock design and specification for the MT12+ platform. These are optimised for the MT12 Monster Truck's suspension geometry and performance characteristics.
