The four-piece configuration ensures you have everything needed to replace your entire shock system, making this an ideal choice for those wanting to upgrade from the stock components or replace worn suspension parts.

If you're serious about getting the best out of your RC crawler in the UK market, investing in quality suspension components like this Fastrax set is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. The difference between standard and upgraded shocks becomes immediately apparent when tackling rock gardens, steep climbs, and technical obstacles where suspension compliance and control are critical to success.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The shocks are manufactured from premium aluminium alloy, which provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives, reducing unsprung weight whilst maintaining structural rigidity that ensures consistent performance over extended use and rough terrain.
- Complete Four-Piece Set — This package includes all four shocks needed for your entire vehicle, eliminating the need to source individual components and ensuring perfectly matched suspension geometry front and rear, left and right for balanced handling and predictable behaviour on the trail.
- Purpose-Built for Tamiya BB-01 — These shocks are engineered specifically for the Tamiya BBX BB-01 platform, guaranteeing perfect fitment, correct mounting points and optimised performance characteristics that generic suspension cannot provide, ensuring you get the most from your crawler's chassis design.
- Professional-Grade Engineering — Fastrax components are recognised by RC enthusiasts across the UK and worldwide for attention to detail and quality control, giving you confidence that every shock in this set meets exacting standards and will perform reliably under demanding conditions.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Tamiya BBX BB-01 Aluminium Complete Shock Set delivers measurable improvements in suspension performance, articulation and overall vehicle control. The aluminium construction provides a lightweight yet durable platform that resists the flexing and deformation associated with plastic shocks, maintaining consistent suspension geometry even under extreme articulation on challenging terrain. This engineering approach is critical for crawler applications where precise suspension response, predictable handling characteristics and durability under intense use are non-negotiable. The four-piece configuration ensures that your entire suspension system is upgraded simultaneously, preventing the handling inconsistencies that can result from mixing stock and upgraded components. Whether you're climbing steep rock gardens, traversing technical obstacle courses, or simply enjoying weekend bashing sessions, this complete suspension set provides the performance platform that serious RC crawler enthusiasts in the UK have come to expect from Fastrax upgrade components.
