Mitoos STD-E Shock Absorber x2

Suspension Ready: Mitoos STD-E Shock Absorbers for Raid that Adjust Without Tools

The pair of Mitoos STD-E shock absorbers (ref. CXM153) is specifically designed for scale raid cars and trucks. Their robust construction and self-lubricating material make them a solid choice for those seeking reliability and real suspension adjustment without the hassle of assembly.

Technical Features

• Maximum anchor distance: 27 mm
• Maximum damping travel: 9.5 mm
• Head anchor: 3 mm diameter clip for attachment to the chassis
• Axle anchor: ball joint with a through hole for the axle and a guide pin for travel on the chassis
• Stiffness adjustment: adjustable without disassembly, by rotating the upper piece or spring holder
• Material: self-lubricating, reducing mechanical friction between moving parts and providing flexibility against impacts
• Contents: 2 shock absorbers (x2)

Function and Performance

The most valued feature of these shock absorbers is the adjustment of suspension stiffness without disassembling the unit. A simple turn of the upper piece allows for adapting the suspension response to the terrain or the driver's preferences, particularly useful during tuning sessions in competition or intensive recreational use.

The self-lubricating material used in their construction minimises friction between moving parts, resulting in smoother and more progressive operation. Additionally, their intrinsic flexibility allows them to absorb impacts without breaking, a real advantage in continuous use over uneven surfaces or in raid models subjected to demanding mechanical stresses.

Assembly and Preparation

The anchoring system is designed for easy installation. The head is fixed to the chassis using a standard 3 mm clip, while the lower end incorporates a ball joint with a through hole for the axle and a pin that limits and guides the travel on the chassis. This combination ensures free and controlled movement of the suspension, without unnecessary play.

Once installed, the stiffness adjustment is made directly on the spring by rotating the upper holder, without the need to remove the shock absorber or use additional tools. This greatly speeds up adjustments between sessions.

Ideal for…

These shock absorbers are designed for scale raid cars and trucks with functional suspension. They are particularly suitable for club competition models or for raid replica builds where a well-engineered and adjustable suspension is desired. They also fit well in dynamic modelling projects where mechanical functionality is part of the finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units does this item include?

The item CXM153 includes 2 Mitoos STD-E shock absorbers, sufficient to equip one axle or work on one end of the vehicle.

Is it necessary to disassemble the suspension to adjust the stiffness?

No. The adjustment is made by rotating the upper piece or spring holder with the shock absorber installed, which greatly facilitates adjustments during tuning sessions.

What type of models are they intended for?

They are specifically designed for scale raid cars and trucks with functional suspension. They are not intended for conventional track slot cars, which do not use this type of suspension.

What advantage does the self-lubricating material offer?

It reduces mechanical friction between moving parts without the need for additional lubrication and provides flexibility that helps the shock absorber withstand impacts without breaking easily.

Is the 3 mm anchor compatible with standard raid chassis?

The 3 mm head clip is a common size in this type of model, but we recommend checking the dimensions of your chassis's anchor points before installation, as compatibility may vary by manufacturer and specific model.

The Mitoos STD-E shock absorbers (ref. CXM153) are a pair of adjustable suspension units designed for scale raid cars and trucks. Made from a self-lubricating material that minimises friction between moving parts, they offer a smooth, progressive response and high resistance to breakage. The 3 mm clip head attaches directly to the chassis, while the ball joint end fits the axle with a guide pin for controlled travel. Spring stiffness can be adjusted on the fly by rotating the upper spring holder without disassembly — a key advantage during tuning sessions. With a maximum anchor distance of 27 mm and 9.5 mm of travel, these shock absorbers are a reliable choice for raid scale modelling and competitive builds.
