2 ADJUSTABLE FORK SHOCK ABSORBERS

Professional Suspension Adjustment with Pro Adjustable Fork Shock Absorbers

When on-track performance depends on the details, suspension makes the difference. This pack includes 2 pro adjustable fork shock absorbers (ref. CXM163), designed for those looking to take their slot car preparation to the next level, with real control over the vehicle's dynamic behaviour.

Function and Performance

The adjustable fork shock absorbers act on the suspension's ability to absorb track irregularities and manage load transfers during braking, acceleration, and direction changes. Unlike fixed shock absorbers, the adjustable version allows fine-tuning of the response stiffness, adapting it to the demands of each track and the preferences of each driver.

The fork format facilitates integration into front or rear suspension setups, providing stable support and controlled travel.

Installation and Preparation

Installing adjustable shock absorbers requires some prior knowledge of suspension systems in slot cars. Before installation, it is advisable to check compatibility with the chassis and the vehicle's suspension design. Once installed, the usual adjustment process consists of:

• Adjusting the stiffness starting from a mid-position.
• Conducting test runs on the track and observing behaviour over bumps, chicanes, and braking zones.
• Hardening or softening based on whether the car tends to bounce or sink excessively.

With patience and method, these shock absorbers allow finding a balance point that significantly improves traction and lap consistency.

Ideal for…

This pack is aimed at club racers and tuners working with chassis equipped with suspension, seeking a finer tuning component than the standard. It is also useful for enthusiasts who enjoy the technical preparation of the car as a central part of the hobby.

Considerations

• The pack contains 2 shock absorbers.
• The product reference is CXM163.
• Always check compatibility with your chassis before installation.
• The optimal setup varies depending on the type of track, the guide used, and the weight of the car.

Frequently Asked Questions

What advantage does an adjustable shock absorber offer over a fixed one?

The adjustable shock absorber allows adapting the suspension response to each track and racing condition, while the fixed one offers consistent behaviour but without adjustment margin. For competitive driving or on tracks with varied profiles, adjustability makes a tangible difference in consistency and control.

How many shock absorbers does this pack include?

This pack includes 2 pro adjustable fork shock absorbers, reference CXM163.

For which position of the car are they used, front or rear?

The fork format is versatile and can be used in different positions depending on the chassis design. Consult your chassis documentation to determine the most suitable location in each case.

Is the adjustment process difficult?

It is not particularly complex, but it does require method and some track running to interpret the car's behaviour. Starting from a mid-stiffness position and adjusting in small steps is the most efficient way to find the optimal point.

Which chassis are they compatible with?

Compatibility depends on the specific design of the chassis. We do not have a closed list of compatibilities for this component; if you have doubts, please consult us before placing your order.

The CXM163 pack includes 2 pro adjustable fork shock absorbers designed for slot car chassis with suspension systems. These components allow precise tuning of suspension stiffness to optimize handling, traction, and lap consistency on any track layout. An essential upgrade for club racers and serious slot car builders looking to fine-tune their setup beyond standard configurations.
