Blacktarmac LSS on-road shock absorbers

Italian company Blacktarmac introduce the LSS shock absorbers for a wide range of nitro and electric on-road cars. LSS stands for Long Stroke Shock, a technology that allows the piston to work inside a window where it is away from the mechanical stops for better damping characteristics and virtually no rebound. The shocks feature 7075 hard-coated shock bodies, pistons that are fixed to the piston rods through a screw and the lower cartridge is equipped with a teflon bushing to improve precision and sealing characteristics. Included are also laser-etched spring preload nuts for fast and accurate settings, lightweight aluminium spring cups, as well as an assortment of pistons racing from 2, 3, 4 to 6 1.1mm holes. The shocks fit cars such as the Xray NT1 and RX8, Shepherd Velox V10 and V8, Capricorn C02 and C801, many Serpent 1/10 and 1/8h cars as well as the Mugen MTX5 and MRX5 and the Yokomo BD7.
