Key Features

• Hard-Anodized Aluminium Bodies with PTFE Coating — The shock bodies are constructed from hard-anodized aluminium and coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), creating the slickest damping action available in the RC market. This advanced surface treatment dramatically reduces friction and ensures smooth, consistent damping performance that keeps your suspension responsive through every corner and jump.
• 13mm Bore Capacity — These shocks feature 13mm bores that hold over 70% more oil than Traxxas Ultra Shocks, providing superior damping capacity and allowing for more refined suspension tuning. This larger bore volume translates to better shock responsiveness and smoother power delivery across varied terrain.
• Titanium-Nitride Coated Shafts — The shock shafts are treated with titanium-nitride coating, which resists scuffing, dramatically increases durability, and eliminates 'stiction' (static friction). This means your shocks maintain consistent damping characteristics throughout their lifespan, even after extensive use in harsh RC car UK conditions.
• X-Ring Seals for Protection — X-rings keep shock oil sealed inside whilst preventing dirt and debris from entering the shock body. This dual-action sealing system ensures that your damping performance remains consistent and reliable, whether you're bashing in muddy fields or competing on technical courses.
• 30-Weight Pure Silicone Shock Oil Included — Each pair comes pre-filled with 30-weight pure silicone shock oil, so you can install and use these shocks immediately without purchasing additional fluids. This premium oil provides optimal damping characteristics for balanced performance.
• Easy Ride Height Adjustment — Spring preload and ride height changes are as simple as turning the threaded spring collars, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's geometry without removing the shocks or requiring special tools. The lower spring retainers are secured with a locking screw to maintain your settings through aggressive driving.
• Fully Assembled Construction — These shocks arrive fully assembled and ready to install, eliminating assembly guesswork and ensuring your suspension is set up with professional precision. This convenience factor makes them perfect for drivers who want immediate performance without build time.
• Red-Anodised Finish — The bright red-anodised finish adds visual impact to your X-Maxx whilst providing protective coating that keeps the shocks looking fresh through countless running sessions. This professional appearance reflects the quality engineering inside.
• Sold as a Pair — You receive two complete shocks, providing the front and rear damping control your X-Maxx needs for balanced handling and consistent performance across all driving conditions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas GTX shocks represent engineering excellence in RC suspension design, built from hard-anodized aluminium with PTFE coating to deliver the most advanced damping performance available in the 1/10 scale RC market. The 13mm bore capacity holds substantially more oil than previous generations, enabling finer damping control and more responsive suspension tuning. The titanium-nitride coated shafts are engineered to resist wear and scuffing whilst eliminating stiction, ensuring that your shocks maintain consistent performance characteristics run after run. The X-ring sealing system provides dual protection—keeping premium shock oil inside whilst preventing mud, dirt, and moisture from compromising damping performance. These shocks are pre-filled with 30-weight pure silicone shock oil, which is carefully formulated to provide optimal damping characteristics across a wide range of driving speeds and terrain types. The threaded spring collar design allows infinite ride height adjustment, giving you complete control over your vehicle's stance, anti-squat characteristics, and overall handling balance. Whether you're running smooth tarmac, rocky terrain, or technical course layouts, these shocks deliver the silky-smooth damping action that separates good handling from exceptional handling. The fully assembled construction means professional-grade setup with zero build time, whilst the red-anodised finish provides both protection and visual distinction. These shocks are engineered specifically for the X-Maxx platform and compatible with multiple X-Maxx models and variants, making them a versatile upgrade for serious UK RC enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these shocks suitable for my Traxxas X-Maxx? — Yes, the TRX7761R shocks are specifically designed for compatibility with multiple X-Maxx platforms, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck (available in Orange, Blue, Red, and Green variants), the X-Maxx Ultimate (Blue X and Green X), and the X-Monster Chassis. They provide a direct upgrade to your vehicle's suspension capability.
• Do these shocks come with springs? — No, these shocks are sold fully assembled but without springs. Springs are sold separately, allowing you to choose the appropriate spring rate for your driving style, terrain, and weight configuration. This flexibility means you can fine-tune your suspension precisely to your needs.
• Why are these shocks better than standard suspension? — The GTX shocks feature advanced technology that standard shocks simply cannot match. The 13mm bore holds over 70% more oil than Ultra Shocks, the PTFE coating provides the slickest damping action available, the titanium-nitride shafts resist wear and eliminate stiction, and the X-ring seals keep your damping consistent. Together, these features deliver noticeably smoother, more responsive, and more durable suspension performance that serious RC enthusiasts expect.
• Can I adjust ride height easily? — Absolutely. The threaded spring collars allow infinite ride height adjustment with no special tools required. Simply turn the collars to raise or lower your vehicle's stance, adjust spring preload, and fine-tune your handling characteristics. The locking screws on the lower spring retainers hold your settings securely through aggressive driving.
• What shock oil is included? — These shocks come pre-filled with 30-weight pure silicone shock oil, which is specifically formulated to provide optimal damping characteristics. This premium oil is ready to use immediately upon installation, with no additional purchasing required.
• How do X-rings improve performance? — X-rings provide superior sealing compared to standard O-rings. They keep your premium shock oil sealed inside the shock body whilst preventing mud, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants from entering and compromising damping performance. This means your shocks maintain consistent, reliable performance whether you're driving in clean conditions or muddy terrain.
• What is the benefit of titanium-nitride coating on the shafts? — Titanium-nitride coating provides multiple benefits: it resists scuffing and wear that can occur through countless cycles of compression and extension, it increases overall shaft durability, and it eliminates 'stiction' (the static friction that can make shocks feel sticky at the beginning of movement). The result is perfectly smooth damping action that responds immediately to terrain inputs.
• Are these shocks suitable for beginners or for experienced drivers only? — Whilst these are professional-grade shocks engineered for experienced racers and serious enthusiasts, they are suitable for anyone who wants to upgrade their X-Maxx's suspension performance. The threaded collar adjustment makes them beginner-friendly to set up, though understanding suspension tuning will help you get the most from their capabilities.
• What's the difference between GTX and other Traxxas shock ranges? — GTX shocks represent Traxxas's most advanced suspension technology. They feature larger 13mm bores (compared to Ultra Shocks) that hold 70% more oil, PTFE-coated bodies for the slickest damping action, titanium-nitride shafts that resist wear, and X-ring seals that maintain consistency. This makes GTX shocks the premium choice for drivers who demand the absolute best handling performance.
