Pro-Line Big Bore Scaler Shocks

Pro-Line is no stranger to the scale-crawler scene, but back in January 2020, they dove even deeper into the tiny-truck segment by introducing their Big Bore Scaler Shocks. I recently outfitted my Axial Wraith 1.9 with these shocks and I couldn't be more pleased with the fit, finish, look, and feel!

Most engineers will agree that the simplest design is often the best design. As a result, Pro-Line didn't elect to rewrite the book when designing their Big Bore shocks. What their team did was take the best aspects of current scale crawler shocks and introduce

improved design characteristics that crossover directly from the off-road racing scene. Their latest shock design is still a standard oil-filled 'bladder' shock, but now boasts of CNC machined aluminum caps, collars, bodies, and bottom caps. They also feature hard chrome coated steel shock shafts and x-ring seals. All of these design elements provide a zero-leak, smooth, low-friction shock. We also like the fact that you receive dual-rate springs that are captured by the lower spring perch. You will not be disappointed!

Pro-Line Big Bore shocks arrive preassembled in the box with some additional accessories that may (or may not be) required to retrofit your model. Note that the Axial Wraith 1.9 pictured throughout this article did NOT require the use of any of the included eyelets,

shock limiters, or the +5mm shock ends. Note that you will need to select your preferred oil viscosity and fill/bleed the shocks before installing them onto your vehicle (a 10-minute process). I elected to run 30 weight TLR brand oil as it provides a very plush feel.

These shocks are sold as pairs, so be sure to order two a quantity of two (2) packages to complete one 4X4 vehicle.

Pro-Line Racing 1/24 Big Bore Scaler Shocks

This a set of Big Bore Scaler Shocks, designed specifically for the Axial SCX24. Take your SCX24 to the next level of performance in Pro-Line Style! Just like our best-selling 1/10 version, these miniature Big Bore Scaler Shocks feature CNC machined Aluminum Shock Caps, Threaded Bodies, Bottom Caps, and Polished Steel Shock Shafts for added style and durability over the stock shocks. The large 5mm bore shock bodies allow the shocks to function as true performance Big Bore Shocks due to the larger oil volume. A double O-ring seal on the main shaft eliminates leaks and provides a smooth, low-friction shock action.

The Big Bore Shocks come pre-assembled in a set of 4 with all mounting hardware included. All you need to do is unscrew the top cap and add 5-6 drops of silicone shock oil (20wt recommended) to fill the shock body. Replace the cap and compress the shock 3-4 times to fully lubricate the shock shaft. Now you're ready to start your next small-scale adventure!

Two sets of springs are included in the Big Bore Scaler Shock set. The shocks come pre-assembled with a standard spring rate perfect for those stock or close-to-stock rigs. The optional stiffer springs (marked with red paint) are ideal for rigs with heavier ABS/hard bodies, such as the Axial SCX24 Bronco® (AXI00006T1).
