Overview
The RC4WD King Off-Road Dual Spring Shocks (110mm Medium OD) represent a significant advancement in scale RC suspension technology, bringing officially licensed King Off-Road engineering to your scale crawler or RC crawler build. These precision-engineered shocks deliver authentic scale detail combined with dependable performance that can handle the most demanding terrain. Whether you're building a competition-grade scale RC crawler in the UK or looking to upgrade your existing RC car suspension, these dual-spring shocks offer the combination of realism and functionality that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
Built from precision-machined billet aluminium with authentic King branding on the top cap and retainer ring, these shocks feature a completely new design from the ground up that is ready to tackle rocks and rough ground with confidence. The larger body diameter compared to previous models provides enhanced scale realism whilst maintaining the durability and smooth suspension action required for serious off-road RC performance. RC crawlers equipped with these shocks will deliver a noticeably improved appearance and handling characteristic, making them an essential upgrade for any scale-focused build.
Each set includes two ready-to-install shocks plus an exclusive King decal sheet to complete the authentic look. These shocks are designed to work with leading RC scale crawler platforms and represent the pinnacle of licensed aftermarket suspension components available to UK RC enthusiasts.
Key Features
- Officially Licensed King Off-Road Design — These shocks are genuinely licensed from King Off-Road Shocks, the renowned real-world suspension specialist, ensuring authentic branding and engineering principles are faithfully reproduced at scale. This licensing adds genuine collector value and authenticity to your RC build.
- True Dual-Spring Suspension System — The genuine dual-spring design provides superior suspension compliance and realistic shock action compared to single-spring alternatives. This engineering approach allows the shocks to handle both small bumps and large impacts more effectively, creating smoother, more predictable handling across varied terrain.
- Precision-Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Every shock body is machined from solid billet aluminium rather than cast or stamped, ensuring consistent quality, precise tolerances, and exceptional durability. Billet construction provides superior strength-to-weight ratio and can withstand the punishment of serious rock crawling without bending or deforming.
- Steel Rod End Ball Joints — The shocks feature quality steel rod end ball joints rather than plastic alternatives, delivering superior durability and longevity during installation and removal cycles. Steel construction resists wear and maintains consistent suspension geometry even after repeated use on challenging terrain.
- Authentic King Branding — The King logo appears on both the top shock cap and retainer ring, providing authentic scale detail that instantly elevates the appearance of any crawler build. This attention to detail distinguishes these shocks from generic suspension components.
- Larger Medium Body Diameter — The 12.6mm shock body diameter represents an increase from previous RC4WD shock offerings, providing enhanced scale proportions that better match the visual impact of full-size King Off-Road shocks on modern short-course trucks and crawlers.
- Generous 25mm Travel Range — The 25mm of suspension travel (from 75mm compressed to 110mm uncompressed) provides ample movement for absorbing impacts and maintaining traction during crawling, whilst the overall length of 119.44mm ensures compatibility with most modern scale crawler platforms.
- Included King Decal Sheet — Each purchase includes an official King decal sheet to further customise your build and enhance the scale authenticity of your RC crawler or scale truck.
Technical Performance
These RC4WD King shocks represent a commitment to precision engineering that will be immediately apparent when you handle them. The billet aluminium construction delivers a substantial, quality feel that reflects their price point and attention to detail. Each shock weighs 28g, providing meaningful scale proportion without excessive weight that would negatively impact your RC vehicle's handling. The machining quality is exceptional throughout, with crisp King branding, smooth internal damping action, and precise ball joint fitment that requires only blue thread lock on installation for permanent security. The dual-spring design works in concert with the shaft diameter of 3.97mm and spring body outer diameter of 16.8mm to create realistic, proportionate suspension geometry that enhances visual appeal whilst delivering genuine functional performance. The spring body inner diameter of 14.8mm and ball width of 6.3mm are engineered for reliability during repeated crawling sessions. When installed on compatible platforms such as the RC4WD Timberwolf Scale Crawler Kit, these shocks transform the entire appearance and handling characteristic of the vehicle, delivering both visual authenticity and measurable suspension performance improvements that serious RC car enthusiasts will immediately appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are RC4WD King Off-Road shocks suitable for my RC crawler or scale truck? — These 110mm shocks are particularly well-suited to RC4WD's Timberwolf Scale Crawler Kit (both front and rear positions), though they are designed for compatibility with various 1/10 scale crawler platforms. Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle's suspension mounting points accommodate the 75mm compressed length and 110mm uncompressed length. The larger 12.6mm body diameter means they may require more clearance than smaller-diameter shock designs.
- How do I install these shocks on my RC car? — Installation is straightforward: mount the shocks at the top and bottom suspension points using the steel ball rod ends. Critically, apply blue (medium) strength thread lock to the bottom shock shaft rod end before installation to ensure it remains securely fastened during operation. The steel ball joints are designed for direct mounting and should fit standard RC crawler suspension geometry.
- What makes these better than standard RC shock absorbers? — These are officially licensed King Off-Road products with genuine dual-spring suspension design, precision-machined billet aluminium construction, and steel rod end balls throughout. Standard RC shocks typically use single-spring designs, cast or stamped bodies, and plastic rod ends. The authenticity of this licensed design, combined with superior materials and engineering, creates noticeably improved handling, durability, and visual appeal on any scale-focused RC build.
- Can I use these on other RC4WD vehicles or different scales? — RC4WD produces King shocks in multiple lengths (80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, and 120mm) to suit different vehicles and suspension designs. Verify that the 110mm length (with 75mm compressed, 110mm uncompressed dimensions) suits your specific vehicle before ordering. These shocks are precision-engineered for 1/10 scale vehicles and are not compatible with significantly different scales.
- What replacement and upgrade parts are available? — RC4WD provides comprehensive support for these shocks through several compatible parts: the Rebuild Kit (Z-S1263) for full maintenance, Replacement Shock Shafts for 110mm shocks (Z-S1281), alternative Shock Caps (Z-S1280), replacement Spring Retainers (Z-S1282), and Spring Assortments (Z-S1291) to fine-tune suspension stiffness and performance characteristics for different terrain or driving styles.
- Are these shocks waterproof for wet terrain? — Whilst these shocks feature quality billet aluminium and steel construction, no specific waterproof rating is provided by the manufacturer. For best longevity in wet conditions, rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each wet-terrain session to remove mud and debris, and allow to dry completely before storage.
- How long will these shocks last before requiring maintenance? — Billet aluminium construction and steel rod ends provide exceptional durability for serious RC use. Normal wear and tear may eventually require internal rebuild using the compatible Rebuild Kit (Z-S1263), but these shocks are engineered for thousands of operational hours before such maintenance becomes necessary.
