KC10 shock overview
This Kyosho CL014 shock set is a direct spare for the KC10 chassis, supplied as a 4pcs unit for standard RC-scale suspension service. It serves as replacement shock absorbers for hobby models that use the KC10 platform, intended for routine maintenance, wear replacement, and basic setup changes.
Fitment is specific to the KC10 chassis; confirm shock mount spacing and rod end type on your model before fitting. Installation follows standard shock replacement steps: remove the wheel and body where needed, detach upper and lower shock mounts, swap the unit, and check travel and clearance through full suspension articulation.
Tuning role: these shocks provide the mounting points and travel control that interact with springs, preload collars, and your chosen damping system. When adjusting handling, focus on spring rate, shock mounting positions, and ride height first, then fine-tune shock angles and spacing to influence roll and pitch response.
If wear is the concern, inspect shock shafts, eyelets, and mounting hardware for play after installation, and verify even travel on both sides. Use this set as service spares to keep a KC10 running between more comprehensive rebuilds.
