Whether you're running a Team Corally Spark XB6, Radix 6, Radix 4, or Python, this short shock absorber delivers the performance and reliability expected from Corally's engineering expertise. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK looking for ready-to-run suspension components that work straight out of the bag, this is an ideal choice that saves time whilst maintaining professional-grade quality.

Built from premium 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with hard anodising, this shock absorber combines durability with lightweight performance. The CNC-machined construction ensures precision tolerances that translate to consistent handling and suspension response across all track conditions. The 600cps oil viscosity provides a universal off-road setup suitable for most Team Corally models, making it an excellent choice for bashers, racers, and recreational drivers alike. This is a genuine Team Corally product, manufactured to the highest standards and backed by the brand's reputation for quality.

The shock absorber comes complete with HD shock ends and a shock spring cup, giving you everything needed for installation except the spring itself — which is sold separately to allow customisation based on your driving style and vehicle weight. Whether you're upgrading worn suspension components or building a fresh setup, this ready-built shock absorber eliminates guesswork and delivers immediate performance improvements.

Key Features

• Factory Pre-Filled with 600cps Oil — The shock comes completely filled with premium 600cps silicone oil from the factory, meaning you avoid the messy and time-consuming process of filling and tuning shock absorbers yourself, whilst gaining immediate, proven performance.

• Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The shock body is machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that delivers durability without adding unnecessary mass to your suspension.
• Hard Anodised Finish — The hard anodised treatment protects the aluminium from corrosion, wear, and damage whilst maintaining a professional appearance and ensuring longevity even in demanding off-road conditions.
• CNC-Machined Precision — Every component is CNC-machined to exact tolerances, guaranteeing consistent performance, smooth operation, and reliable compatibility with your Team Corally vehicle.
• Includes HD Shock Ends — The package includes both short and long HD shock end options, allowing you to choose the correct mounting configuration for your vehicle and driving style.
• Shock Spring Cup Included — A dedicated shock spring cup is provided to ensure secure mounting and proper suspension geometry once you've selected your preferred spring rate.
• Universal Off-Road Setup — The 600cps oil viscosity is scientifically selected to work across most Team Corally off-road models, providing excellent performance without requiring custom tuning.
• Direct Compatibility — This shock absorber is a direct front shock replacement for multiple Team Corally models including Spark XB6, Radix 6, Radix 4, and Python variants, making it a perfect upgrade or replacement component.
• Customisable Spring Options — Matching springs in Soft (C-00180-626), Medium (C-00180-627), and Hard (C-00180-628) ratings are available separately, allowing you to fine-tune suspension compliance based on your vehicle weight, track conditions, and driving preferences.

Technical Performance

This Corally shock absorber represents professional-grade suspension engineering designed for serious RC bashers and racers across the UK. The 600cps silicone oil provides the ideal viscosity balance for off-road driving, offering responsive damping that soaks up impacts whilst maintaining stable platform control during acceleration and cornering. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction is lightweight yet incredibly strong, with hard anodising providing a durable protective layer that resists wear from repeated compression cycles, impact damage, and exposure to dirt and moisture common in outdoor RC driving. The CNC-machined components ensure that tolerances are held to fractions of a millimetre, guaranteeing smooth piston travel and eliminating binding or stiction that could compromise handling consistency. The shock is 'short' configuration, making it suitable for vehicles requiring compact suspension geometry. Whether you're pushing a lightweight vehicle on smooth tracks or bashing a heavier 6S model through rough terrain, this shock absorber delivers the performance characteristics needed for predictable, controllable handling. The inclusion of both short and long HD shock ends provides mounting versatility, whilst the shock spring cup ensures proper spring seating and load distribution for optimal suspension geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this shock absorber ready to install straight out of the box? — Yes, absolutely. The shock comes completely assembled and pre-filled with 600cps oil, so you can install it immediately into your vehicle without any tuning, assembly, or filling work required. It's designed for users who want professional performance without the hassle of shock preparation.
• Which Team Corally models is this shock absorber compatible with? — This is a direct front shock replacement for the Spark XB6, Radix 6 (2021 and 2022), Radix 4, and Python (2020, 2021, and 2022 variants). It's also compatible with several other Team Corally models, so check the full compatibility list if you're unsure whether it fits your specific vehicle.
• Do I need to buy springs separately? — Yes, the springs are not included with this shock absorber. You'll need to purchase matching springs separately in your preferred stiffness: Soft (C-00180-626) for light vehicles and smooth tracks, Medium (C-00180-627) for balanced all-around driving, or Hard (C-00180-628) for heavier bashers and the 6S range, which is the standard most-recommended option.
• What does the 600cps oil specification mean? — CPS stands for centipoise, a measure of oil viscosity or thickness. 600cps is considered a universal oil viscosity that works well for off-road driving, providing good damping response across various terrain types without requiring custom tuning. Thicker oils provide more resistance and slower rebound, whilst thinner oils allow faster movement.
• What material is this shock absorber made from? — The shock body is machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which is the same aerospace-grade material used in high-performance applications. This provides excellent durability and a light weight compared to steel alternatives, plus a hard anodised finish that protects against corrosion.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is actually ideal for beginners because it removes the complexity of shock assembly and tuning. You can install it and start driving immediately without needing to understand shock building or oil viscosity selection. For upgrading spring rates later, the included instructions guide you through spring selection.
• What is the difference between the short and long shock end options? — The short and long shock ends affect the suspension geometry and mounting height of your vehicle. Your vehicle's design specifies which you should use, and the long option is typically provided as an alternative if you need to adjust ride height or accommodate different mounting points.
• Can I refill this shock absorber with different oil viscosity? — Whilst the shock is designed around 600cps oil, it can be disassembled by experienced users to change the oil. However, most users appreciate that it arrives pre-filled and tuned, eliminating this step entirely. If you need different damping characteristics, adjusting the spring rate is the recommended approach.
• How does this compare to buying a shock absorber as loose components? — Ready-built shocks save significant time, eliminate assembly errors, and come with factory QC testing ensuring they work perfectly. The convenience premium is offset by guaranteed quality and the elimination of messy oil-filling work that requires specialist tools and experience.
• Is the hard anodised finish durable? — Yes, hard anodising creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium that is extremely hard and corrosion-resistant. This finish stands up to regular use in off-road driving, moisture exposure, and impact damage far better than bare aluminium, maintaining appearance and protecting against oxidation and wear.
