Mitoos STD-R ball joint shock absorber pair, designed for rally cars and trucks. Self-lubricating material with low friction, travel of up to 9.5 mm and attachment via 3 mm clip. Robust and flexible for demanding competition sessions.
Mitoos STD-R Shock Absorbers: travel control and durability in every section
The Mitoos STD-R shock absorber pair (reference CXM151) is a solid and reliable solution for those equipping raid cars or trucks and seeking an effective, direct-mount suspension system with a long useful travel. Made from a self-lubricating material, they maintain low mechanical friction between their moving parts without the need for frequent maintenance, making them an especially practical option for intensive use sessions.
Technical Features
- Maximum distance between anchors: 27 mm
- Maximum damping travel: 9.5 mm
- Head anchor: 3 mm diameter clip for chassis attachment
- Axle anchor: ball joint with through hole for the axle and travel pin on the chassis
- Material: self-lubricating, low friction, and high flexibility
- Pack contents: 2 shock absorbers (pair)
Function and Performance
The ball joint at the axle anchor allows for smooth articulation of the suspension movement, absorbing terrain irregularities without transmitting unnecessary stresses to the chassis. The travel pin acts as a progressive stop, controlling the compression limit and preventing harsh impacts at the ends of the travel.
The self-lubricating material is one of the most valued aspects of these shock absorbers: it eliminates the need for additional lubricant between moving parts, reduces wear from friction, and, thanks to its intrinsic flexibility, withstands impacts without breaking easily, even under demanding raid conditions.
Installation and Preparation
The head anchor using a 3 mm clip facilitates quick installation and removal without special tools, which is very convenient both in the workshop and during a competition setup session. Before installation, it is advisable to check that the distance between chassis anchors is within the useful range of the shock absorber (maximum 27 mm) to ensure that the available travel operates at the optimal point.
Ideal for…
These shock absorbers are designed for scale raid vehicles — cars and trucks — where suspension geometry and impact absorption capability are crucial for performance and reliability. If your raid project demands accessible spare components with proven robustness, the Mitoos STD-R are a common reference among enthusiasts who build and prepare their own models.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many shock absorbers does the CXM151 pack include?
The pack includes 2 shock absorbers, that is, the necessary ones to equip a complete axle.
Do they require additional lubrication?
No. The self-lubricating material they are made from maintains low friction between moving parts without the need for periodic external lubricant application.
What type of vehicles are they designed for?
They are specifically designed for scale raid cars and trucks, where generous suspension travel and resistance to repeated impacts are required.
What is the diameter of the chassis anchor clip?
The head anchor to the chassis is done using a 3 mm diameter clip.
What is the maximum useful travel?
The maximum damping travel is 9.5 mm, with a maximum distance between anchors of 27 mm.
The Mitoos STD-R shock absorbers (ref. CXM151) are a reliable pair of self-lubricating suspension dampers designed for scale raid cars and trucks. With a maximum travel of 9.5 mm and a 27 mm anchor span, they offer smooth articulation through a ball joint axle mount and a 3 mm clip chassis attachment. Their flexible, self-lubricating material ensures low mechanical friction and strong durability under demanding off-road conditions — a solid choice for builders and competitors in the scale raid hobby.
