The Mitoos STD-E Shock Absorber (Ref. CXM152) is sold in a pack of 2 units and is specifically designed for slot raid cars and trucks that feature active suspension systems. Its robust construction and self-lubricating material make it a reliable choice for both club preparation and competition.
Technical Features
- Maximum anchor distance: 27 mm
- Maximum damping travel: 9.5 mm
- Head mount: 3 mm diameter clip
- Axle mount: H-fork, compatible with standard cylindrical axle bearings or double-lip ball bearings (Ref. M192)
- Adjustment: three stiffness positions without the need for disassembly
Material and Construction
The body of the shock absorber is made from a self-lubricating material that minimises mechanical friction between its moving parts. This results in smooth and consistent movement of the suspension assembly, requiring minimal maintenance. Additionally, the flexibility of the material prevents breakage upon impact or falls, which is common in raid racing where the terrain is more demanding.
Adjustment System
One of the strengths of the STD-E is the ability to adjust the suspension stiffness in three positions with a simple turn of the upper piece or spring support, without having to disassemble the shock absorber from the car. This allows for quick and convenient adaptation of the vehicle's behaviour to different tracks or driving preferences, especially during pre-race tuning sessions.
Mounting and Compatibility
The H-fork mount makes this shock absorber compatible with standard cylindrical axle bearings and Mitoos double-lip ball bearings (Ref. M192). The head is secured with a 3 mm clip, a simple system that facilitates installation and disassembly when adjustments or inspections of the suspension are necessary.
Ideal for…
This shock absorber is designed for enthusiasts building or preparing slot raid cars and trucks with functional suspension. If you are looking to give your model a more natural track behaviour, with better absorption of irregularities and greater stability in fast corners, the STD-E is the right choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the pack include 2 shock absorbers?
Yes, reference CXM152 includes 2 units of Mitoos STD-E shock absorber.
How many adjustment positions does it have?
The STD-E offers three stiffness positions, adjustable by turning the upper piece without disassembling the shock absorber from the car.
Is it compatible with Mitoos M192 bearings?
Yes, the H-fork mount is designed to work with both standard cylindrical axle bearings and Mitoos double-lip ball bearings, reference M192.
Does it require special lubrication or maintenance?
No. Being made from self-lubricating material, it does not require additional lubrication for proper functioning. It is sufficient to periodically check the condition of the spring and the mounts.
What type of vehicles is it intended for?
