MIP 5ive-T Bypass1 32mm big bore shock kit

Formerly only available for 1/10th shock absorbers MIP now introduces the Bypass1 shock piston technology for Losi’s 5ive-T large scale truck. The kit builds around all-new 32mm shock absorber bodies that do away with the standard 28mm items that may limit the suspension’s performance especially when running bigger engines or when racing in harsh conditions. The new big bore system allows the truck to be more responsive, predictable, and stable on the straights, in the corners and during jumping and landing. With the race proven MIP Bypass1 system equipped and two sets of springs included, the set allows for proper fine-tuning right out of the box. Included in the set are four hard anodised shock bodies, four anodised shock and cartridge caps, two pairs for front and rear springs as well as the Bypass1 piston system with slow, medium and fast rebound valves. The set is rounded out by several small and hardware parts and it is a direct fit with the standard piston rods, seals, spring cups and hardware.
