Tekno RC Ti-Nitride Rear Shock Shaft (2)
About this part
This is a pack of two optional Tekno RC Ti-Nitride Rear Shock Shafts. These updated shafts feature the latest Titanium Nitride coating to ensure the smoothest operation in any condition. It also provides improved strength and surface properties that allow the shaft to travel with less friction through the shock unit. The result is improved jump landing, bump handling, and improved consistency throughout a race.

The description says "rear shaft" but these are also the front shock shafts for the EB48 2.0.
Supposed to make the already super smooth Tekno shocks even better, if that's even possible... I originally added these fronts and the matching rears plus the delrin shaft guides to my ET48.3 when I built it and while Im not sure I can tell a difference, they are easily the smoothest and leak free shocks Ive built. Just make sure to regularly check and replace especially the rear shock boots as they tear easily and the dirt will speed up the wearing of the shock shaft coating. I've since added them on all 4 of my 1/8 Tekno rigs, the ET48.3, SCT410.3, EB48.4 and EB48 2.0, plus the smaller ones on my EB410.2 amd ET410.2. A lot of money in shock shafts, but I always have a backup stocker if I need a replacement in a pinch.
Strongly recommended for your TEKNO vehicles. It is much more durable than the stock shock shafts. I bent two of the stock ones but never these yet. It saves you time so you can go run the car more often
These are the front for the ET48 2.0. The rear are part 6061/6061T. Don't buy the 107mm for the truck at all, it's too small.
Reviewers rate these titanium-nitride shock shafts highly, all giving five stars. Several note they are more durable than stock shafts, with one reporter saying they had bent stock shafts but not these. One reviewer found them very smooth and leak-free on multiple Tekno builds, though they could not clearly perceive a difference from other smooth shocks. Reviewers disagree on fitment: one says the listing calls them rear shafts but they fit front shock positions on EB48 2.0 models, while another says they are front shafts for the ET48 2.0 and points to a separate part number for the rear. One reviewer warns the rear shock boots tear easily and that dirt wears the shaft coating, so regular inspection is advised. Another cautions against the 107mm version for trucks as too short.
