Engineered as a performance replacement for the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-02 (MM) and MR-015, this aluminium mono shock features a blue anodised body aimed at racers seeking consistent damper feedback. The unit serves as a repeatable mounting platform for tuning springs, oils, and preload settings without the variability of softer housings.
Fitment mirrors the original component: remove the stock shock from the MR-02 or MR-015 mounts, transfer any preferred internal parts, and retain the chassis fastenings for installation. Inspect alignment, travel, and hardware torque during initial setup. Use threadlocker on high-use assemblies when required by track conditions.
From a setup perspective the aluminium body reduces flex at the mounting interface, helping deliver predictable changes when altering spring rates or damper viscosity. Tune in small increments and record settings to dial lap-to-lap consistency for competitive running.
