Team Losi SUPER BAJA 170mm Rear L-shape Damper SB170R/L by GPM  [SB170R/L]

170mm Rear L-shape Aluminium Dampers

The GPM SB170R/L rear L-shape shocks serve as an aftermarket replacement for the Team Losi SUPER BAJA rear suspension, supplied as a matched pair to help drivers tune ride height and damping response. The components aim to strengthen common wear areas while keeping weight low.

Notable mechanical details include a jump in coil wire thickness to 2.5mm for firmer spring action and a larger 7mm shock shaft to reduce bending under load. The aluminium cylinder balances strength with mass savings, and a sealed spring retainer lowers the risk of oil leakage. An L-shape collar extends the oil travel path for smoother damping, and the ball-top to ball-end midpoint measures 170mm as stated.

Fitting advice: these shocks are made to replace rear units on compatible Super Baja kits that use L-shape ball-post geometry and a 170mm midpoint length. Standard installation is to remove the originals, fit the ball ends to the towers and arms, then adjust preload and damping gradually to match vehicle weight and surface grip. Verify full travel and clearances before high-speed running.

A solid option for Super Baja enthusiasts wanting a tougher rear damper that reduces flex and helps preserve oil seals for more consistent rear behaviour.
