Axon High Big Bore Shock 1/10th touring car dampers

Japanese company Axon have introduced their all-new High Big Bore Shock absorber for 1/10th touring cars. Designed to deliver maximised corner speed the dampers offer an increased volume while maintaining an outer diameter compatible to most of today’s shock springs. A unique shock body design with a tapered upper section near the shock cap also makes for very well balanced progressive damping which further helps to up speeds in corners. The shocks come in sets of four, including 3-hole pistons, and they are available in variants for the Yokomo BD7/DB8, Xray T4 and Tamiya TRF 419X. Not included are the upper and lower ball ends, spring cups and springs with these parts need to be taken from the respective chassis kits.
