Fill #4471 shock body 
with oil up to the upper 
groove.
Insert #4472 shaft/
piston all the way to the 
bottom

Remove the small and large #4473 washers from 
the parts tree. Remove any flash from the washers.
Slide the VC housing with foam onto the shaft, 
housing first (so foam is still seen through the body 
opening).
Slide on the following in this order: smaller 
washer, red O-ring, larger washer, then the 
star-shaped clip.

smallest washer

largest washer

red O-ring

Use the assembly tool to push all the 
parts down into the body until the clip 
snaps into the groove. When you 
remove the tool, the shaft will push 
out somewhat if everything snapped
into place correctly. 

Make sure the clip

snaps into the groove completely.

VCS MICRO SHOCK

     Team Associated's VCS

TM

 (Volume Compensating System) Micro 

Shock was developed as a higher-volume, lightweight, constant-travel 
shock to fit on most road/oval 1:10 and 1:12 cars, and provides 
consistently smooth, superior dampening without the need for frequent 
rebuilds.
     The VCS

TM

 Micro Shock body is precision-machined from aircraft-

quality aluminum, and is externally threaded for convenient spring pre-
load adjustments. Internally, the shock utilizes Associated's exclusive 
VCS

TM

 volume compensating system, 7075 aluminum shock piston, 

molded PTFE components, and a precision-ground, case-hardened 
steel shock shaft which is extremely resistant to bending.
