Hard Raid Shock Absorbers: control and firmness for your Avant Slot models

The Hard Raid Shock Absorbers (ref. AV20515) are original spare parts from Avant Slot designed for those who want to precisely adjust the suspension response in their raid competition models. Their greater stiffness compared to standard shock absorbers results in a firmer behaviour, reducing excessive body roll and improving stability on fast sections.

Function and performance

The suspension is one of the most determining factors in the behaviour of scale raid vehicles. A hard shock absorber limits the vertical movement of the body, which favours a more controlled weight transfer and a more predictable response in fast corners or on sections with track irregularities. If our model tends to pitch excessively or we want a more neutral setup, switching to stiffer shock absorbers is the first step.

Compatibility

• Avant Slot MAN truck
• Avant Slot Mitsubishi Lancer Racing
• Avant Slot Quad

As they are original spare parts from the brand, the fitting and installation are straightforward, with no need for additional modifications.

Assembly and preparation

Changing shock absorbers in Avant Slot models is an accessible operation even for enthusiasts with basic preparation experience. We recommend always replacing shock absorbers in pairs (those on the same axle) to maintain symmetrical behaviour of the model. Once installed, it is advisable to carry out some initial runs to verify that the setup adapts well to the track and each individual's driving style.

Hard or soft? When to choose this stiffness

The choice between hard and soft shock absorbers depends on the track and the behaviour we are looking for. Hard shock absorbers are the right option when:

• The track has many fast corners and the model tends to roll excessively.
• We want greater precision in steering and less body movement.
• We seek to reduce lateral roll to gain consistency in driving.

If the circuit is more technical and slower, or we prefer the model to better absorb track imperfections, standard or soft shock absorbers may be more appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

Are these shock absorbers compatible with all Avant Slot raid models?

According to the provided information, they are compatible with the MAN truck, Mitsubishi Lancer Racing, and quad from Avant Slot. For other models from the brand, it is advisable to check compatibility before placing an order.

How many units are included in the pack?
