90mm internal shock upgrade for scale crawler suspension

This aluminium internal shock set is an upgrade option aimed at the Vaterra K-5 and the compatible models below. Provided as a pair, the shocks are intended for hobby suspension tuning and trail use rather than heavy industrial use.

They are configured for internal mounting on 1/10 scale crawlers and will affect ride height, articulation and low-speed control during technical crawls. Use them as part of a stepwise tuning approach to balance traction and chassis movement.

Fitment tips: verify eye-to-eye measurements and mounting hole spacing prior to installation, use the correct threadlocker on metal fasteners as advised by your chassis guide, and conduct static sag tests after fitting to set preload and determine spring shimming needs.

Compatible Models

  • HPI Crawler King
  • Gmade R1
  • Vaterra K5

These aluminium internal shocks are a practical upgrade for 1/10 internal shock setups and provide a baseline tune for refining slow-speed traction and articulation on rocky lines.

Are these shocks sold as single units or pairs?

They are supplied as one pair suitable for front and rear fitment on 1/10 crawlers where internal shocks are used.

Should I change springs when installing?

Start with your current springs and check static sag; if ride height or sag is off, change spring rates or add spacers to reach the desired setup.

Will I need new mounting hardware?

Often the original hardware will work, but inspect eyelet diameters and use proper-length fasteners; replace incorrect pieces to avoid binding or side load on mounts.

How do these affect slow-speed traction?

With correct preload and travel settings they help keep tyres settled on rock sections, improving steady slow-speed progress and reducing sudden weight transfer.
