SOTA RC 1:10 Offroad Shock System

Following on from the launch of its Patent pending cutting-edge innovation Position Sensitive Damping System for 1:8 Offroad, Australia’s SOTA RC Products has unveiled a new 1:10 Offroad Shock System.  Set to be available mid February, the 1:10 system is not a resized version of their 1:8 offering but a new design from Sota RC’s Matt Austin.  Describing the 1:10 system as a new benchmark in RC shock piston design, while they may look unconventional the piston delivers a level of damping control and tuning depth previously reserved for full-scale motorsport.  Compatible with 13 mm bore shocks (AE, Schumacher, SWORKz, TLR, and others using the AE-style design), key highlights include modular design enabling tunable multi-curve damping with more than five blended damping regimes.  Designed for beginners and advanced racers alike, you can configurable shim stacks for low-, mid-, and high-speed control – and beyond.  The Sota system also provides progressive shim engagement from ~100 mm/s through to >1 m/s shaft velocity.  It has true full port closure with complete shim coverage when engaged.  You get adjustable damping force from subtle control to over 50 kg.  View video presentation/technical explanation here.
