Trishbits Losi shock collars

Our friends at oOple are reporting on some new shock collars from Trishbits, designed to replace the stock collars on Losi off road dampers. ‘The Losi collars have long been hated by racers for being hard to adjust and stiff, especially with oily fingers. TrishBits addressed this by going for a slightly deeper design with a more aggressive pattern for those oily fingers, making them much easier to adjust and with better support for the spring with a deeper shoulder. The Collars come as a set of 4 ready to be fitted with o-rings installed.’
