Avid TLR 13mm Shock Bodies

Coming from Avid are these 13mm shock bodies for the TLR 22 and 22X-4 1:10 buggies. The shocks offer TLR racers the plush feeling of the larger bodies while utilising all your other G3 components. The larger 13mm body allows for less volume displacement under compression which allows for a much more predictable feeling on the track. This is why Avid have included (2) 2.0mm thin blank pistons for you to get going. With the piston face being larger at 13mm, this requires more oil to be moved so the standard piston configuration of 2×1.5 in the front and 2×1.6 in the rear does not work the same.
