Kyosho W5015 Shock End (4)

Kyosho W5015 is a genuine four-pack of shock ends, the plastic rod ends that thread onto the bottom of each shock shaft and snap over the ball stud on the suspension arm. They are a wear item and a crash item at the same time: the socket opens up gradually with use, which introduces slop into the damper mount, and a hard impact can crack or pop one off entirely and leave a shock dangling. Replacing them restores a tight, quiet connection between the damper and the arm.

These are the short-style ends, molded from a tough plastic that holds its grip on the ball without binding through the suspension travel. Fitment is broad across Kyosho's 1/10 range, covering the Ultima RT5, RB5, and RB6 along with the Lazer ZX-5, and Kyosho lists the same shock end on other models using this damper design. Package includes four shock ends, enough to rebuild the ends on all four shocks.
