Fine-tune your Raid's suspension with Avant Slot's extra soft shock absorbers
When the setup makes the difference between a comfortable ride or losing control in every corner, the hardness of the shock absorbers becomes a critical variable. These extra soft shock absorbers (reference AV20546) are specifically designed for the Avant Slot Raid, and their installation is also compatible with the Truck and Mitsubishi from the same brand.
Function and performance
The extra soft version of these shock absorbers allows the suspension to work with greater freedom of movement, better absorbing track irregularities and maintaining tire contact with the track at all times. In 4x4 traction models or with high bodies like the Raid or the Truck, a softer damping can make a noticeable difference in both cornering speed and the overall stability of the model.
Compatibility
- Avant Slot Raid
- Avant Slot Truck
- Avant Slot Mitsubishi
Installation and preparation
As they are original spare parts from Avant Slot, the fit is direct, with no need for modifications. It is recommended to replace the shock absorbers in pairs to maintain symmetrical chassis behaviour. If you want to experiment with different suspension configurations, combining them with other hardness options available in the range will allow you to find the optimal setting according to the type of circuit and driving style.
Considerations
The extra soft hardness is particularly suitable for tracks with higher grip or for drivers who prefer a more "lively" and communicative car. On very fast tracks or those with low grip, it may be advisable to try a medium hardness to avoid excessive body roll.
Frequently asked questions
Which Avant Slot models are these shock absorbers compatible with?
According to the information provided by the manufacturer, they are compatible with the Raid, Truck, and Mitsubishi from Avant Slot.
What is the difference between the extra soft version and other hardnesses?
A lower hardness allows for greater suspension travel and better impact absorption, resulting in more grip on tracks with good traction. The harder versions offer greater stability on fast circuits.
Should they be replaced one at a time or in pairs?
It is advisable to change them in pairs (front or rear axle) to maintain balanced chassis behaviour.
Are they compatible with other manufacturers or only with Avant Slot?
They are specifically designed for the indicated Avant Slot models. We do not have verified information on compatibility with models from other manufacturers.
