This aluminium piggy-back internal damper is a scale RC replacement part designed for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer 1/7 platform. The unit uses an L-shape body with a built-in piston arrangement and is sized at 160mm to match the front damper geometry used on the model listed under compatibility.
Installation focuses on swap-in replacement at the front damper mounting points, retaining the shock spring and top retainer from the original unit where compatible. The damper is adjustable: damping characteristics are tuned by the top spring retainer and by turning the red adjustment screw at the base of the negative-pressure oil chamber to change internal preload and oil flow.
In practice this part is intended for on-model suspension tuning rather than aesthetic upgrade alone, letting you modify rebound/compression balance and perceived spring firmness without altering spring rates or shock length.

Use basic shock service practices when installing: clean mounting points, verify shaft and seal condition, and test incremental adjustment to dial in damping for your surface and driving style.
