• Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Each shock body is precision-machined from premium billet aluminium, providing exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and the premium appearance that separates high-quality scale rigs from basic builds.
• Dual Spring Design — The dual spring system delivers both impressive scale realism and functional performance benefits, allowing for detailed visual accuracy while providing the suspension characteristics needed for serious off-road use and rock crawling.
• Built for Rock Crawling and Trail Use — These shocks are engineered from the ground up to handle demanding terrain, including rocky trails, technical obstacles, and challenging crawling courses where durability and consistent performance are essential.
• Compact 80mm Uncompressed Length — The 80mm uncompressed hole-to-hole dimension provides excellent compatibility with popular scale crawler platforms while maintaining proper suspension geometry for realistic vehicle dynamics.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 18 grams per shock, these components won't compromise your crawler's weight distribution or handling characteristics, keeping your scale model responsive and properly balanced.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD King Off-Road Scale Dual Spring Shocks represent the pinnacle of scale suspension engineering, combining authentic King Off-Road design with precision manufacturing that appeals to both collectors and performance-focused crawlers. The billet aluminium construction provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, with each shock weighing just 0.65 ounces (18 grams), ensuring minimal impact on your scale model's overall weight distribution while delivering maximum durability for demanding trail conditions. The shocks feature a compressed hole-to-hole distance of 61mm (2.40 inches) and an uncompressed dimension of 80mm (3.14 inches), providing a total travel length of 19mm (0.74 inches) that allows for appropriate suspension articulation on technical terrain. The shock body features a 10mm (0.39 inch) outer diameter with a 3.5mm (0.13 inch) shaft diameter, whilst the spring body measures 14.5mm (0.57 inches) in outer diameter, providing a balanced aesthetic that looks proportional on 1/10-scale platforms. The overall length of 88.8mm (3.49 inches) ensures proper fitment on compatible platforms whilst maintaining correct suspension geometry. This engineering precision means that whether you're tackling rocky boulder fields or navigating technical ledges, your suspension will respond consistently and predictably. The dual spring design isn't merely aesthetic; it provides genuine functional benefits by distributing loads across the suspension travel range, reducing harshness on impacts whilst maintaining consistent damping characteristics throughout the shock's travel envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which RC crawler platforms are these shocks compatible with? — The RC4WD King Off-Road Scale Dual Spring Shocks are officially suggested for fitment on the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit with Mojave Body Set (Z-K0042 "Disc"), the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit with Mojave II Body Set (Z-K0049), the RC4WD Gelande II Truck Kit with D90 Body Set (Z-K0001), and the Traxxas TRX-4 (when used with both the 2mm Z-S0600 and 3mm Z-S0806 black spacers with M3 holes). These proven compatible platforms represent some of the most popular scale crawlers available in the UK market, ensuring you'll have excellent options for deployment.
• What makes these shocks different from standard scale suspension components? — These shocks are officially licensed from the genuine King Off-Road Shocks company, the manufacturer of high-end suspension systems used in real off-road vehicles. This authentic licence means you're getting genuine engineering backed by decades of real-world testing, combined with the dual spring design that delivers both scale realism and genuine functional performance improvements over basic suspension solutions.
• Do I need any additional parts to install these shocks? — For most RC4WD platforms like the Trail Finder 2 and Gelande II, the shocks should install directly. However, if you're installing on a Traxxas TRX-4, you'll need to purchase the 2mm and 3mm black spacers separately (model numbers Z-S0600 and Z-S0806). Additionally, you should apply blue (medium) thread lock to the bottom shock shaft rod end before installation to ensure the components remain secure during use. This is standard maintenance for scale crawlers and helps prevent vibration-related loosening.
• Are replacement and upgrade parts available? — Yes, RC4WD provides comprehensive support with several replacement parts available separately, including the Centre Spring Retainer (Z-S0706), Lower Spring Retainer (Z-S0707), Shock Ball End (Z-S0708), Replacement Shock Shafts (Z-S0786), Shock Cap (Z-S0866), and a comprehensive Rebuild Kit (Z-S0788) that works with King, ARB, and Superlift shocks. Additionally, the RC4WD 80mm King Scale Shock Spring Assortment (Z-S1121) provides alternative spring options for tuning your suspension to different terrain conditions.
• Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — These are premium scale suspension components that require careful installation with thread lock and potentially spacer selection depending on your platform. They're ideal for intermediate to advanced RC enthusiasts who appreciate quality engineering and are willing to invest in authentic, licensed products. Beginners can certainly use them, but should take time to follow installation instructions carefully and seek guidance from experienced RC crawlers if needed.
• Why choose official King Off-Road licensed shocks? — The King Off-Road brand represents decades of engineering excellence in real-world off-road suspension systems. By choosing officially licensed scale versions, you're getting authentic design principles, proven engineering geometry, and the confidence that comes with genuine licensing. This authenticity also ensures better resale value and appeal within the serious RC collecting and crawling communities.
