HPI Baja 5b/5b SS/5T Rear L-shape Damper 208mm by GPM BJ208R/L  [BJ208R/L]

Rear L-shape damper for Baja 208mm

The GPM BJ208R/L is an aluminum alloy rear adjustable L-shape damper designed for HPI Baja platforms. Supplied as a 1pr set, the kit includes the pair of rear dampers and damper oil with 1000 viscosity rated for tuning response and rebound control. The L-shape body positions the cylinder and spring to match Baja rear suspension geometry while keeping overall length compact at 208mm.

This component serves as a direct upgrade option for model-level shock durability and consistency. The adjustable feature allows incremental tuning of damping characteristics by changing oil viscosity and spring preload, helping to refine traction and handling on loose or rough off-road surfaces. Because the part is an RC-scale accessory, use it only on compatible HPI Baja models listed in the product name.

Installation notes: the dampers mount to the rear suspension in the same locations as stock L-shape shocks on compatible Baja chassis. Check existing mounting hardware and ball-ends for wear before fitting, and bleed air from the damper during assembly to achieve predictable damping action. Use the included 1000 viscosity oil as a baseline, then adjust oil or spring rates for track conditions.

For HPI Baja owners seeking a durable, adjustable rear shock option, the GPM BJ208R/L offers a straightforward alloy replacement with included 1000 viscosity oil to support initial setup and progressive tuning.
