This aluminium rear shock set is an aftermarket replacement designed for TAMIYA DT-04 RC FIGHTER NXGEN rear suspension use. The shocks are machined from 6061-T6 and ship as oil-filled sealed units, intended to reduce internal friction and manage rear-end load changes for improved balance while cornering and under acceleration.
Key mechanical notes from the supplied parts: the shock centre distance measures 95mm, the shock shaft is thicker than standard at 3.5mm, and the kit includes both black and silver spring options to change spring rate. The internal damping oil is specified as silicone oil at 500cSt and the shock pin is hardened for wear resistance. These attributes make the unit suitable for hobby-level tuning where predictable rear damping and reduced stiction are priorities.
Installation considerations: these shocks mount in the rear shock area and replace stock DT-04 rear units directly when used with compatible mounts and hardware. The kit includes necessary screws and springs to match the supplied bodies, and the external spring preload and end-stop can be adjusted to tune ride height and initial spring rate.
For DT-04 owners wanting firmer rear control, this aluminium, oil-filled rear shock set provides a straightforward upgrade path to adjust damping and spring rate without chassis modification.
