Associated Shock Shaft Guards
With the successful launch of RPM Shock Shaft Guards for Traxxas Shocks, we knew we needed to make another version to work with Associated shocks as well. The wait is over!

RPM Shock Shaft Guards for Assoc. 1/10th scale shocks are a simple design, replacing your stock shock spring cup with one that has a thin but tough shield rising up to the base of the shock body, completely blocking debris from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which prevents debris from building inside the guard as well. The kit comes with replacement oversized shock rod ends, improving durability and consistency on the shock pivot ball. Additionally, we redesigned the top of the rod end so it is square. That square end keys the shock shaft guard for directional control. The front shield of the guard covers over 100 degrees of frontal exposure! RPM Shock Shaft Guards are zero friction protection devices, meaning the guard never touches the working elements of the shock.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are sold in sets of four, including four rod ends for the shocks. Nothing more is needed for installation. A short list of vehicles these guards work with include: SC10, T4, B4, GT2 and most older versions of these vehicles such as the T3, B3, T2, B2, RC10T and RC10. RPM Shock Shaft Guards are stock replacement items.

Tech Notes: RPM Shock Shaft Guards fit most Assoc. 1/10th scale shocks. However, they will not work with Assoc. SC10 4x4 or MGT shocks.

Quick Adjust Spring Clips for Assoc. Shocks

Accuracy is the key to a proper suspension setup. With the stock spring collars, there is no way of knowing if one shock is set up similar to the next. With RPM’s clips, all the guess work is removed and accuracy becomes as close to perfect as you can get! The set includes four spring collars that mount on top of each spring to prevent the spring from rubbing the shock body, and a full set (4 ea.) of four different thickness clips that snap around the shock body, effectively eliminating the need for shock collars!

Lower Spring Cups for Assoc. & HPI Shocks

RPM designed these spring cups to help alleviate the frustrations sometimes associated with shock maintenance. Your shock springs rest in these cups at the base of the shock. Sometimes, during disassembly, stock cups get clogged with debris and become difficult to remove and clean. These cups are easy to remove, clean, and reinstall and have a better shelf for the springs to rest on. In addition, our lower spring cups are molded in a variety of colors for added personalization of your favorite ride.
Tech Note: Associated Monster GT owners, please take a look at our Lower Spring Cups for Losi & Traxxas Shocks. The spring diameters are larger on the MGT and requires the use of the larger Losi & Traxxas spring cups.

Two Stage Shock Pistons (Light-Medium)

True performance lies in the ability to dial in your suspension. If you’re an intermediate to expert suspension technician, you have the ability to take your suspension to a new level. Introducing RPM’s two stage shock pistons. In a compressed state, the two halves press together to meter the shock fluid through two holes. As the suspension unloads (in the standard config.), the two plates separate, allowing the fluid to flow through multiple holes, which returns the shock to static position at a higher rate. These pistons are the closest things that R/C can get to full sized racing. Don’t be fooled, even the fastest racers in the world are using them; the trick is to get them to admit it! After all, if everyone used them, who would gain the advantage? Maybe you? They come in sets of 12, three sets of four pistons. (white, blue, & yellow) Best used on tracks with small to moderate obstacles and rough sections. Check out our Piston FAQ page for more information.
