5 Rarest LEGO Technic Shock Absorbers of all time

I am the inventor of the Lego Shock Absorber. Let me explain. Forty five years ago when I was twelve, I was very interested in the new motocross motorcyle designs that had just started using one large shock in the back instead of two which was common at the time. Fascinated by this, I endeavored to create the type of shock system in Lego. Of course at the time it was unheard of. Back then Lego sets truly were just a little ways above Duplo. Todays parts and variety is staggering to what we had back then. Nevertheless, I began to brainstorm how to do it and this is how I did it. I took one of the little Lego City antennas for cars, the single pip ones that are about 2 inches long with the round top, and I found that a spring from a ball point pen fit perfectly over this antenna. I then took the piece that is used for pistons on the crankshaft and placed the top of the antenna into ti. Then a circular disk was placed on the antenna that allowed the antenna to move freely and be attached to an axle and the other part to the body of the car or similar and it worked. It worked very, very well. Then, enthralled I took a polaroid photograph of my invention and mailed it to Lego headquarters. A year later, the fancy molded plastic shock absorber came out. Lego stole my idea, although they made it much better than my ad-hoc creation. Strangely I am proud and angry at the same time. ROFL

[@evertticket2060]

i have all five off them my dad was a lego collector and i found alot of unsealed sets in his closet

[@Unbrickme]

Wow awesome!!!

[@peterlavelle3261]

the last shock absorber (10l part 32181C02) actually appeared in a fair few models, including all 3 of the racers from early 2000s (Silver Champion, Williams & Ferrari you mentioned) except that in the Silver Champion/Williams it was actually a 'clear light blue' colour which made it even rarer than the clear version used in the Ferrari and other models around that time

[@felico32_45]

I'm suprised to know that. Mainly because i have the silver champion, williams and ferrari enzo sets that i received from my uncle's father who died a couple weeks ago for free (R.I.P to him) that's some great things to say when someone ask about them.

Idea: different Lego differentials/rarest differentials

[@BigCat553]

That would be a good video

[@Unbrickme]

great idea, but there have only been 3 types of technic differentials

[@brix_max]

I didn’t know that there are differences within the big springs (like the ones in the 4x4 off-roader). I threw them all in one box, how can i tell them apart easily now?

[@Unbrickme]

Try feeling the shock absorbers and also try examining the spring itself

[@GvanderWindtMusic]

The shock absorber of #1 was also included in 8450-1 in the Cybermaster Lego Technic Mission expension set. Part number 32181c05

[@will_tzu]

Also in the Technic Mars Rover set with the translucent blue solar panels, as I recall. I bought that set around 2003 or so

[@samuelagyei8115]

How is it possible to have the adjustable suspension/chassis? Just got the McLaren P1 42172 and I'm thinking to do that with the new shock absorbers

[@AJB2K3]

The clear shock has been around for over 10 years and appeared in Cybermaster!

[@cincinatti6969]

i have a 4x4 crawler that have 4 wheel steering and i ahe a LOT old motor, battery box, that sensor thing (3 type of motors)

[@Jacob-W-5570]

Those clear air dampend springs are also in the 8448 set. Also used for the doors. only they quality is disapointing. as the spring over time works its way past the shaft seal and goes inside the air compartment

[@Dimebag333x]

same thing happend to mine!

[@supersakthi1]

The music was originally used in Jangbricks’s videos.Nice.

[@Unbrickme]

I was waiting for someone to catch that easter egg :)

[@billymanilli]

Anybody know if the "damped" shock absorber is dampened in both directions? In other words, is it on both compression AND rebound, or is it just the rebound that's damped (like it appears to be in the video of the door being shut @ 4:12)?

[@polloaztecaSRT]

Idea: rare lego decorations

[@Unbrickme]

like, food, plant, and other items like that?

[@polloaztecaSRT]

@@Unbrickme well I was referring more to: soccer ball, basketball ball, and panels with stickers or designs such as the back panel of the lego racers set 8682 nitro intimidator

@@ggrpfn4216 the stickers of this sets are the worst ever produced by Lego I think, there is even some stickers over multiple pieces!
