Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the IS10 designation on this shock set? — The IS10 designation refers to the specific shock specification and damping calibration developed for the Axial AXP8 platform.

- Will this shock set fit my Axial AXP8 Gilamon 2.2 trail buggy? — Yes, this rear shock set is specifically designed for the Axial 1/8 AXP8 Gilamon 2.2 4X4 RTR brushed trail buggy, available in both green (C-AXI-1207T1) and red (C-AXI-1207T2) variants. It provides perfect factory fitment and compatibility.
- Is this a complete shock assembly or just shock bodies? — This is a complete shock set, meaning all components including damping internals, springs, and seals are included and pre-assembled. You receive a finished, ready-to-install rear suspension unit rather than individual components requiring assembly.
- Do I need any additional parts to install this shock set? — For basic replacement of existing rear shocks, no additional parts are required. The complete assembly includes everything needed for installation. Basic tools such as hex drivers will be needed for removal and fitment of mounting hardware.
- Why should I replace my original shocks with this genuine Axial set? — Genuine Axial shocks maintain factory suspension geometry, damping characteristics, and performance specifications. Over time, shock damping fluid can degrade, seals can wear, and internal components can fatigue.
