Overview
The Fastrax Aluminium Adjustable 1:10 Crawler 90mm Shock Set represents an essential upgrade for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their 1:10 scale crawler's suspension performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher tackling challenging terrain, these premium shocks deliver the adjustability and durability needed for serious off-road performance. Crawlers demand exceptional suspension tuning to navigate rocky obstacles, steep inclines and technical courses, and this four-piece shock set provides the precision engineering required to dial in your vehicle's handling characteristics perfectly.
Built from high-quality aluminium construction, these adjustable shocks are engineered to withstand the demanding conditions that crawler enthusiasts push their vehicles through. The 90mm shock length is specifically designed for 1:10 scale crawler platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal suspension geometry. Fastrax has established itself as a trusted manufacturer of RC upgrade parts and accessories, and this shock set exemplifies their commitment to delivering performance-oriented components that serious RC hobbyists rely upon for both recreational bashing and competitive events.
If you're searching for ways to improve your RC crawler's ground clearance, articulation or shock response, this adjustable shock set offers tremendous value and performance potential. The four-piece configuration provides complete shock coverage for your crawler's suspension system, and the adjustable design means you can fine-tune your setup as track conditions and driving preferences evolve throughout the season.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — These shocks are manufactured from high-quality aluminium, which provides an excellent balance of strength and lightweight performance. Aluminium construction resists corrosion and maintains its integrity through repeated impacts, making these shocks ideal for extended off-road use in the UK's varied weather conditions.
- Fully Adjustable Design — The adjustable shock design allows you to modify damping characteristics and ride height to suit your specific driving style and terrain conditions. This adjustability means you can optimise your crawler's performance whether you're crawling rocky obstacles or bashng on smoother terrain.
- 90mm Shock Length — Specifically engineered for 1:10 scale crawlers, the 90mm length ensures proper suspension geometry and prevents binding or bottoming out during extreme articulation events. This dimension is critical for maintaining consistent contact patch and predictable handling.
- Four-Piece Set — You receive a complete set of four shocks, providing suspension for all four corners of your 1:10 crawler. This comprehensive package eliminates the need to source shocks individually and ensures matched performance across your vehicle's suspension.
- Compatible with Popular Crawler Platforms — This shock set is engineered as an option part suitable for numerous 1:10 crawler models including Traxxas TRX-4, Axial Racing models and other popular platforms. Whether you're upgrading an existing crawler or building a new one, these shocks offer broad compatibility within the crawler market.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Aluminium Adjustable 1:10 Crawler 90mm Shock Set represents serious suspension engineering optimised for the unique demands of crawler vehicles. The aluminium construction provides durability that withstands repeated impacts, rock strikes and extreme suspension articulation without permanent deformation. The 90mm length is precisely calculated for 1:10 scale crawler geometry, ensuring that your suspension maintains proper ride height and prevents excessive body roll during lateral movement or obstacle navigation. The adjustable design allows you to modify the damping characteristics, enabling you to increase or decrease rebound and compression rates depending on whether you're navigating technical rock crawling courses or enjoying more aggressive bashing sessions. This level of tuneability is essential for serious RC enthusiasts who want to optimise their vehicle's performance across varied terrain types. The four-piece configuration ensures balanced suspension performance across all four corners, delivering consistent handling and predictable vehicle behaviour whether you're climbing steep inclines, traversing side slopes or executing precise line choices through technical sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks compatible with my 1:10 crawler? — These shocks are engineered as option parts for popular 1:10 crawler platforms including Traxxas TRX-4, Axial Racing models and other compatible crawlers. Check your vehicle's specification guide to confirm compatibility, though the standard 90mm length fits the majority of mainstream 1:10 crawler designs available through UK RC retailers.
- What makes adjustable shocks better than standard shocks? — Adjustable shocks allow you to modify damping rates and tune your suspension to match specific terrain conditions, driving styles and personal preferences. This means you can optimise for rock crawling on one day and switch settings for bashing sessions on another, without needing multiple shock sets. The adjustability also helps diagnose handling issues and dial in the perfect setup during vehicle development and testing.
- Can I upgrade just two shocks or do I need all four? — You should upgrade all four shocks simultaneously to maintain balanced suspension performance across your vehicle. Mixing old and new shocks can create unpredictable handling characteristics and uneven weight distribution. This four-piece set ensures consistent performance front and rear.
- What type of adjustment do these shocks offer? — These shocks feature fully adjustable design allowing you to modify suspension characteristics. Specific adjustment mechanisms may include ride height, damping valving or spring preload depending on design, enabling comprehensive tuning options for crawler enthusiasts seeking precision setup control.
- Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — Whilst these premium adjustable shocks are suitable for all experience levels, beginners may find greater value in standard fixed shocks whilst learning basic crawler techniques. However, if you're committed to serious crawler performance or plan to compete, the adjustability offers excellent learning potential as you develop your tuning knowledge and understand how suspension changes affect vehicle behaviour.
- How do these shocks perform in challenging crawler terrain? — The aluminium construction and 90mm length are specifically optimised for technical rock crawling, obstacle navigation and extreme articulation events that define the crawler category. The adjustable design allows you to dial in the perfect damping rates for your local terrain, whether you're tackling the technical course designs at dedicated RC crawler venues throughout the UK or exploring natural rocky terrain.
