The hard TiN surface resists that wear and lowers friction so the damper responds to small inputs more consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis longer 44.5mm shaft covers the longer travel shock position on the RC8T4 platform, so check your shock length before ordering to be sure you are matching the correct end of the truck. Installation is a straightforward shock rebuild: unthread the old shaft from the rod end, transfer your piston and hardware over, and reassemble with fresh oil. Keeping a spare set on the bench means a bent shaft after a rough landing costs you a rebuild rather than a race.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Associated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56089204982082,"sku":"ASC81611","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/5063\/8402\/files\/81611_md__94278.1725450516.jpg?v=1788542406","url":"https:\/\/www.powerhobby.com\/products\/team-associated-asc81611-tin-shock-shafts-44-5mm","provider":"PowerHobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
