Technical Performance
The FMS 1:10 F100 Upper Shock Cover is engineered to provide reliable protection for the suspension system of your 1:10 scale brushless RC truck. As a component part of the larger FMS F-100 ecosystem, it has been designed with precision to fit the shock tower and absorber assembly without gaps or misalignment. The cover material provides adequate rigidity to maintain its shape during driving while remaining flexible enough for easy installation and removal during maintenance. This upper shock cover works in conjunction with the rest of your brushless RC truck's suspension geometry to maintain proper ride height, dampening characteristics and overall handling dynamics. By keeping dirt and debris away from the shock absorber seals and damper rod, this cover helps preserve the oil seal integrity and prevents premature wear that could compromise your truck's suspension performance over time. The part is compatible with the standard suspension setup found on FMS 1:10 F-100 models and integrates with both stock and upgraded shock absorbers used in this platform.
