Axon YD-series Revoshock dampers

Axon have introduced their new Revoshock dampers the Yokomo YD-2 and YD-4 drift cars. The big bore shock absorbers utilise 11.5mm diameter 16-hole shock pistons that run in HVF-coated threaded alloy shock bodies for ultra low friction. The clearance between the piston and shock body is only 0.025mm, ensuring minimal oil blow-by and thus predictable shock performance. New to the Revoshock is a revolutionary piston shaft seal design with the lower cartridge seals being a lot smaller in diameter compared to industry-standard P3 O-rings, which ensures the seals are not being pinched by the shock body which created a floating design that leads to virtually no friction between the seals and the shock shaft. Specially selected inner diameters of the upper S and lower SS-sized O-rings ensure the shocks are still as leak-free as possible while the HVF-coated piston shaft further reduce overall friction. The result is a shock absorber that is able to generate more traction due to being as smooth as possible. Included in the set come the shock bodies, upper and lower caps, spring pre-load collar as well as the piston rods and pistons. The plastic parts, pivot balls and shock springs are not included as these are parts that can be taken from the donor Yokomo shocks.

Axon T4’18 big bore shock II dampers

Axon have introduced their new big bore shock II especially designed for Xray’s T4’18 touring car. The dampers are of the same construction, inner diameter and piston design as the previous version, however the shorter shock body length and an optimised piston position within the damper ensures full compatibility with the 2018 specification T4 while increasing corner speed and traction. Also the piston rod received a small update to ensure silky smooth operation which further helps with consistency and drivability. The shocks come in sets of four and they include aluminium upper and lower caps, the threaded shock bodies and pre-load nuts, as well as CNC-machined 3-hole pistons, piston rod, piston rod guides and O-rings. Not included are the needed Xray donor parts such as upper and lower shock eyelets, pivot balls, spring retainers, diaphragms and springs.

Axon clear chassis protection film

Coming soon from Axon is a clear protection film that was designed to fit in the battery area of the chassis plate. Only 0.1mm thick and offering moderate slip, the protection decal is virtually invisible while ensuring exceptional protection from scratches and damages that can occur when dust or dirt collects under the battery pack during a run, ensuring the chassis will look like new for a long time. Due to not sticking to the battery pack, the protective film also only has minimal influence on the natural chassis flex. The product will hit stores about mid-April.
