RC Shock ServicesSpeed and power steal the spotlight, but the real star of a well-sorted racing car or truck is its suspension. No matter how much power you've got, it will be wasted if your machine doesn't have a suspension system that is functioning properly and is correctly tuned to effectively channel power into the racetrack, give you the traction you need to drive with precision, and allow the car to traverse bumps and jumps with stability. There's no shortcut or secret to proper suspension setup—you have to test methodically and put in the laps.
At RCcarStars we are well equipped to help you with your suspension needs starting with your shocks. If the spring rate is too low and “soft,” the RC will bottom-out too easily. If the spring rate is too high and “stiff,” the RC won't absorb bumps well and will bounce around the track. So we can help you setup your shocks perfectly for the type of driving and terrain you will be tackling. After we are done we provide you with all the adjustments and fluid viscosity numbers within our "Free Suspension Detail Setup Chart", so you can maintain your own shocks in the future. |

Inside the shock, a piston moves through the fluid when the shock is compressed and extended. This provides the damping force that prevents the spring from recoiling like a pogo stick. The amount of damping force generated depends on the oil's viscosity and the surface area of the piston. We take great care in selecting just the right weight of oil and shock piston for the optimum performance of your RC car or truck. Let our professional technicians help advise you on not only your shock setups but your suspension camber, toe and ride height. That's all part of our friendly service no matter what shock service package you select.
