- OEM Quality Manufacturing — ROC Hobby manufactures these shocks to original equipment specifications, guaranteeing durability and performance consistency that matches the standards of your original equipment.
- Reliable Damping Performance — Quality shock absorbers are essential for managing suspension travel smoothly, reducing bouncing, and maintaining consistent contact between tyres and the track surface for improved grip and stability.

Technical Performance
The ROC Hobby Katana Shocks Set is engineered as a direct suspension component for the Katana RC model platform. Shock absorbers are fundamental suspension elements responsible for damping suspension movement, absorbing impacts from terrain irregularities, and maintaining consistent wheel contact with the driving surface. Quality shocks, like those in this ROC Hobby set, feature internal valving and damping characteristics designed to work in harmony with the Katana's suspension geometry, spring rates, and overall weight distribution. The shocks manage both compression and extension phases of suspension travel, allowing the vehicle to absorb bumps and maintain stability during cornering, acceleration, and braking. Proper shock performance directly translates to improved handling precision, reduced tyre wear, and enhanced driver control—all critical factors whether you're enjoying casual weekend bashings or pursuing more competitive RC driving in the UK hobbyist community.
