Overview
The LOS Shock Set Complete, Dampening (2): LMT 2.0 Z-LOS-1831 is an essential replacement and upgrade component for owners of the Losi 1/8 LMT 2.0 Grave Digger and SonUva Digger 4x4 solid axle monster trucks. These complete internal spring shocks are engineered to reduce friction and absorb pressure during driving, ensuring your RC monster truck maintains balanced handling across all terrain types. Whether you're basking in the dirt, conquering challenging outdoor courses, or putting your brushless monster truck through its paces at high speed, these dampening shocks are designed to deliver responsive, controlled suspension performance that keeps your vehicle stable and predictable.
This shock set represents a genuine factory component (original part numbers LOS-1830 and LOS-1831) that every LMT 2.0 owner should have as spares or as an upgrade option. The set includes both 130mm and 134mm shock configurations, giving you flexibility for front and rear mounting to suit your specific setup requirements. For UK RC enthusiasts and weekend bashers alike, maintaining quality suspension components is crucial to maximising the lifespan of your ready-to-run RC monster truck and ensuring consistent performance in wet and dry British conditions.
These shocks come complete with internal springs pre-installed in the 134mm units, making installation straightforward for most users. The 130mm shocks are supplied with all necessary hardware for spring installation, including black internal springs with 0.8mm wire diameter and spring retainers, allowing you to customise your setup exactly as needed.
Key Features
- 130mm and 134mm shock configuration — The kit includes two 130mm shocks and two 134mm shocks, providing flexible mounting options for both front and rear positions on your LMT 2.0 monster truck, enabling you to optimise suspension geometry for your specific driving style.
- Complete internal spring design — The 134mm shocks come complete with internal springs already installed, whilst the 130mm units include separate springs with 0.8mm wire diameter that you can install yourself or swap out to fine-tune suspension stiffness.
- Direct factory replacement compatibility — These shocks are genuine replacements for the original LOS-1830 and LOS-1831 components, ensuring perfect fitment and performance with your Losi 1/8 LMT 2.0 Grave Digger or SonUva Digger brushless monster truck.
- Delrin collar construction — The shock tops feature special delrin collar design with 8.0mm ball end head length, providing secure mounting and smooth operation throughout the shock's travel range.
Technical Performance
These Losi shock absorbers are precision-engineered for the demanding requirements of 1/8 scale RC monster truck racing and bashing. Each shock is filled with silicone oil that's specifically formulated to provide consistent damping characteristics across different temperatures and driving intensities. The shock bodies are constructed to exacting tolerances, and the internal spring design works in harmony with the dampening fluid to manage both compression and rebound forces. The 130mm shocks without pre-installed springs allow experienced users to experiment with different spring rates if they find the standard setup too firm; the springs can be removed and replaced with alternatives to dial in the exact suspension feel required for specific track conditions or driving preferences. The 134mm complete shocks arrive ready to install, ideal for those seeking a plug-and-play solution that maintains the factory-proven suspension characteristics of the LMT 2.0. The ball end head length of 8.0mm ensures proper geometry alignment with your truck's suspension links, maintaining accurate roll centre and anti-squat characteristics essential for smooth cornering and stability during high-speed runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks suitable for both on-road and off-road use with my LMT 2.0? — Yes, these factory shocks are specifically designed for the Losi 1/8 LMT 2.0 solid axle monster truck platform, which is engineered for versatile all-terrain use including grass, dirt, gravel and rough outdoor courses common to UK RC bashing locations.
- What is the difference between the 130mm and 134mm shocks in this kit? — The kit provides two different lengths to accommodate front and rear mounting positions on your LMT 2.0. The 130mm shocks are supplied without pre-installed springs, allowing you to install the included 0.8mm wire diameter springs yourself, whilst the 134mm shocks come completely assembled with springs ready to bolt on immediately.
- Can I replace the internal springs if I find them too stiff? — Yes, the 130mm shocks are specifically designed for spring customisation. If you find the standard 0.8mm wire diameter springs too firm for your driving style, you can remove them and install alternative springs; the original Losi springs can also be reinstalled if preferred.
- Are these genuine Losi factory parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine Losi factory components with original part numbers LOS-1830 and LOS-1831, making them the exact same shocks that come equipped on Losi LMT 2.0 monster trucks, ensuring perfect compatibility and authentic performance characteristics.
- What type of silicone oil is used in these shocks? — The shocks are filled with silicone oil that provides consistent dampening across a range of driving conditions and temperatures, essential for maintaining predictable handling whether you're bashing in summer sunshine or autumn dampness across UK terrain.
- Do I need any special tools to install these shocks on my LMT 2.0? — Installation requires only basic RC tools such as hex drivers and possibly a small spanner for ball end adjustment; detailed instructions should be consulted for your specific LMT 2.0 model variant to ensure correct fitment.
