Overview
The Losi Shock Set Complete, Internal Spring (2): LMT 2.0 is a premium suspension upgrade designed specifically for owners of the Losi 1/8 LMT 2.0 monster truck platform. Whether you're running a SonUva Digger or Grave Digger variant, this complete shock assembly set delivers the advanced suspension tuning capability that serious RC enthusiasts demand. If you're looking to optimise your RC monster truck UK performance or upgrade from stock suspension components, this factory-authentic Losi shock set provides professional-grade damping and spring characteristics that will transform your driving experience on any terrain.
This is not a basic shock replacement—it's a complete internal spring shock system that comes fully assembled with all the hardware and components you need for installation. The set includes two ready-to-fit shock bodies with faux reservoirs that provide the aggressive aesthetic and realistic appearance that monster truck fans appreciate. For anyone serious about their RC car UK setup, whether you're a competitive racer or weekend basher, having quality suspension components like these is essential for consistent performance and vehicle longevity.
Losi has engineered these shocks with the LMT 2.0 platform's specific geometry and requirements in mind, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance characteristics from the moment you bolt them on. The internal spring design offers advantages over external spring systems, including better protection from debris and damage during aggressive bashing, whilst maintaining excellent tunability for different driving conditions and personal preferences.
Key Features
- Complete Internal Spring Shock Set (Pair) — You receive two fully assembled shocks in this set, providing front and rear suspension upgrades or matched replacements with identical damping characteristics and spring rates, ensuring balanced handling across both axles of your LMT 2.0.
- Faux Reservoirs — The shocks are styled with realistic faux reservoir bodies that give your monster truck an authentic, scale-accurate appearance whilst maintaining a lightweight design that doesn't compromise performance.
- Internal Spring System — The internal spring configuration protects the suspension from dirt, mud and debris that would normally accumulate around external springs, extending the lifespan of your components and reducing maintenance requirements between bashings.
- 1.6lb Internal Spring Rate — The included 1.6lb springs provide a specific damping curve tuned for the LMT 2.0 platform, balancing ride comfort on bumpy terrain with responsive handling that gives you control during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
- Shock Piston with Multiple Preload Options — The internal spring-specific shock piston is supplied with both 2mm and 4mm preload spacers, allowing you to fine-tune the spring preload and adjust your suspension stiffness without purchasing additional components, making this set incredibly versatile for different track conditions or driving styles.
- Complete Hardware Included — All assembly hardware is provided in the box, meaning you can complete the installation without hunting for fasteners or making additional purchases; everything needed for a successful upgrade is included.
Technical Performance
These Losi shock absorbers are engineered with the precision manufacturing standards you'd expect from a company with decades of experience in competitive RC racing. The internal spring design combined with the specific 1.6lb spring rate creates a suspension system that responds predictably across a wide range of driving conditions, from smooth tarmac to rough off-road terrain. The shock pistons are designed specifically for internal spring use, featuring precise valve stacks and damping circuits that have been validated through extensive testing on the LMT 2.0 platform. The inclusion of adjustable preload spacers (2mm and 4mm options) means you can modify the suspension geometry and spring behaviour without replacing components, which is invaluable when optimising your RC monster truck for different tracks or weather conditions. Build quality throughout these shocks reflects Losi's commitment to durability; the bodies, pistons and hardware are manufactured to tight tolerances that ensure consistent performance and long service life even under the extreme stresses of competitive racing or aggressive bashing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Losi models are these shocks compatible with? — This shock set is designed specifically for the Losi 1/8 LMT 2.0 monster truck range, including the SonUva Digger 4X4 Solid Axle Monster Truck RTR and the Grave Digger 4X4 Solid Axle Monster Truck RTR variants. Compatibility with other Losi platforms is not confirmed, so always verify fitment before purchasing as a cross-model upgrade.
- What do the preload spacers do, and do I need both? — The preload spacers adjust how much initial compression is on the internal spring before the shock begins to move, effectively changing the ride height and suspension stiffness. The 2mm and 4mm spacers allow you to fine-tune your suspension without purchasing replacement springs; most drivers will find one spacer size suits their preferred setup, but having both options gives complete flexibility for experimenting with different suspension characteristics.
- Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — Whilst these are genuine Losi components with excellent quality and performance, they're most beneficial for drivers who want to customise their suspension tuning. Beginners can certainly use them, but you'll get the most value if you're comfortable adjusting preload spacers and understanding how suspension changes affect vehicle handling.
- How do internal spring shocks compare to external spring designs? — Internal spring shocks protect the suspension components from mud, dirt and debris that normally accumulates around external springs, reducing cleaning and maintenance time. The sealed design also helps prevent shock fluid leakage and extends component lifespan. Internal springs do make field adjustment slightly more involved, but the reduced maintenance requirements typically offset this minor inconvenience.
- Will these shocks improve my RC monster truck's performance? — If you're upgrading from worn or lower-quality stock shocks, you'll immediately notice more consistent damping, better handling predictability, and improved ride quality across rough terrain. The adjustable preload system lets you optimise the suspension for your specific driving style and local track conditions, which can translate to noticeably better control and faster lap times.
