Team C BD7 & GT8 progressive shock system

Team C BD7 & GT8 progressive shock system

Team C Racing have introduced a progressive shock system for the Yokomo BD7 as well as their GT8 1/8th on-road kits. Adapting a popular design the system utilises tube-style inserts with triangular-shaped openings as well as plain shock pistons. The inserts are used the standard shock housings and the plain pistons are used in place of the drilled standard ones while the triangular openings in the tubes allow the oil to bypass the piston on compression. With ongoing compression the opening above the piston becomes smaller, resulting in a progressive, harder dampening that can lead to faster corner speeds and improved stability. The BD7 set included four inserts and four pistons while the GT8 set is available separately for the front and the rear of the car.
