Key Features

• Precision Aluminium Construction — These shock bodies are manufactured from quality aluminium material, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that is essential for maintaining proper suspension geometry and responsive handling during intense oval track racing sessions.
• 12x23mm Dimensions — The specific 12x23mm sizing is engineered for the SR10's suspension architecture, delivering the optimal shock travel and compression characteristics required for dirt oval racing performance across various track surfaces.
• Factory Team Blue Finish — The distinctive blue aluminium colour provides not only a factory-authentic appearance but also indicates these are genuine Factory Team components meeting Team Associated's exacting manufacturing standards.
• Big Bore Coil-Over Compatible — These shock bodies integrate with the SR10's advanced big bore coil-over suspension system, which features impact-absorbing technology designed to maintain traction and stability through the demanding turns and straightaways of oval track racing.
• Corrosion-Resistant Material — Aluminium construction resists rust and corrosion, particularly important when racing on clay or dirt tracks where moisture exposure is common, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance.
• Lightweight Design — The aluminium construction keeps unsprung mass to a minimum, contributing to the SR10's overall light 1424g weight specification and helping maintain responsive handling and quick direction changes.

Technical Performance

The SR10 Shock Bodies 12x23mm represent the suspension engineering expertise that Team Associated has refined through thousands of hours of competitive racing development. The 12x23mm dimensions are specifically calibrated for the SR10's 2.6:1 gear ratio and 2WD drivetrain, providing the suspension compliance necessary for maintaining traction on oval track surfaces whilst preserving steering response and cornering speed. The big bore coil-over shock system incorporates advanced suspension geometry that allows for vertical ball end adjustments for roll centre modifications at both front and rear, enabling drivers to fine-tune their vehicle's handling characteristics for different track conditions. The aluminium construction utilises precision manufacturing tolerances to ensure consistent piston rod sealing and damping characteristics throughout the shock body's service life. The blue aluminium finish not only identifies these as Factory Team components but also provides superior corrosion resistance compared to steel alternatives, making them ideal for the SR10's water-resistant design philosophy. These shock bodies are part of the same suspension ecosystem that includes the SR10's impact-absorbing front and rear bumpers and adjustable body mounts, creating a comprehensive suspension solution engineered for dirt oval racing excellence. The shock bodies work in conjunction with the SR10's 22 precision rubber-sealed ball bearings and durable lightweight aluminium top shaft to deliver the responsive, consistent handling that competitive RC drivers demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these shock bodies compatible with my SR10 dirt oval racer? — Yes, these 12x23mm front shock bodies are specifically engineered for the Team Associated SR10 Dirt Oval RTR and integrate directly with the SR10's big bore coil-over suspension system. The SR10 features aluminium 12mm big bore coil-over shock absorbers as standard, and these replacement bodies maintain that same 12x23mm specification.
• What makes these better than aftermarket shock bodies? — These are genuine Factory Team components manufactured by Team Associated to exact engineering specifications. They undergo the same quality control standards as the original SR10 shock absorbers, ensuring precise piston sealing, consistent damping characteristics, and long-term reliability that aftermarket alternatives may not provide.
• Can I use these shock bodies on other Team Associated vehicles? — The 12x23mm dimension is specific to the SR10. Other Team Associated models may use different shock body sizes such as 12x27.5mm. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's specifications before purchasing replacement shock components.
• Do I need new shock shafts and springs when replacing the bodies? — The shock body is the cylindrical aluminium housing; your existing shafts and springs may still be usable depending on their condition. However, if your shafts are bent or your springs have lost their tension, replacing those components alongside the shock bodies will restore optimal suspension performance.
• What is the Shock Kit V2 and do I need it? — The associated Shock Kit V2, 12x23mm (AS72031) contains complete shock internals including pistons, seals, and other wear components. If your shock internals are worn or damaged, this kit allows you to rebuild your existing shocks or create complete new shock assemblies using these replacement bodies.
• Are these shock bodies suitable for beginners? — Whilst these components are designed for competitive racing, the SR10 Dirt Oval RTR is a ready to run RC car suitable for RC enthusiasts of varying skill levels. These shock bodies are maintenance items that any dedicated RC car owner can replace with basic tools and mechanical knowledge.
• How often should I replace my shock bodies? — Shock bodies typically last for thousands of running hours under normal conditions. Replace them if you notice bent housing, oil leaks around the piston seals, or inconsistent damping. Regular inspection of your suspension after each racing session will help identify when replacement is necessary.
• Will these improve my lap times on the oval track? — If your current shock bodies are damaged or worn, replacing them with fresh Factory Team components will restore your suspension's designed performance characteristics, potentially improving consistency and handling. However, shock tuning also depends on spring rates, shock fluid viscosity, and suspension geometry adjustments.
