Key Features

• Hard-anodised Green Aluminium Bodies — The shock bodies are hard-anodised to provide exceptional durability and a stunning green finish that looks brilliant on any RC car, whilst the anodisation process creates a protective layer that resists corrosion and wear from regular use.
• PTFE-coated Damping Surfaces — The polytetrafluoroethylene coating creates the slickest damping action available, reducing friction and ensuring ultra-smooth suspension movement that responds precisely to terrain changes without stiction or hesitation.
• 13mm Bore Diameter — The larger bore holds over 70% more oil than standard Traxxas Ultra Shocks, which means increased volume for superior damping consistency, better heat dissipation, and more refined control across varying driving speeds and surfaces.
• Titanium-Nitride Coated Shafts — The TiN coating on the shock shafts resists scuffing and scoring that can develop from normal wear, increases overall durability of the internal components, and crucially eliminates "stiction" which is the sticky resistance that occurs when seals drag slightly on shafts.
• X-Ring Seals — These advanced sealing rings keep precious shock oil securely inside the body whilst preventing dirt, mud, and water from entering the damping chamber, maintaining smooth and consistent performance even in challenging riding conditions across the UK.
• Threaded Spring Collar Adjustment — Spring preload and ride height can be adjusted simply by turning the threaded collars, allowing you to fine-tune your setup without specialist tools and enabling quick changes between different driving conditions or track layouts.
• Locking Screw Lower Spring Retainers — The lower spring retainers feature a locking screw mechanism that prevents annoying pop-off of springs during aggressive driving, eliminating frustrating mid-run failures and allowing you to push harder with complete confidence.
• Fully Assembled Construction — These shocks arrive completely assembled and ready to install straight from the box, saving you time and ensuring factory-quality assembly standards that guarantee optimal performance from day one.
• Included 30-Weight Silicone Shock Oil — Each pair comes with premium-quality 30-weight pure silicone shock oil that provides immediate out-of-the-box performance, though you can upgrade or modify the oil weight to fine-tune damping characteristics for your specific needs.

Technical Performance

These 1/10 scale GTR shocks represent a significant engineering achievement in RC suspension technology. The 13mm bore diameter is engineered to hold substantially more oil than previous generation shocks, providing superior damping consistency and heat management during extended running sessions. The hard-anodised aluminium construction offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that suspension geometry remains precise whilst keeping overall vehicle weight minimal for optimal acceleration and handling characteristics. The titanium-nitride shaft coating is a aerospace-grade surface treatment that creates a significantly harder and more slippery surface than standard steel or chrome plating, dramatically reducing wear rates and eliminating the "stiction" phenomenon that occurs when damping fluid seals drag across shaft surfaces with excessive friction. The PTFE-coated bore creates an exceptionally low-friction interface for the piston and shaft assembly, meaning the suspension responds with minimal hysteresis to every input from the terrain. With X-ring seals providing superior sealing compared to traditional O-rings, these shocks maintain consistent damping characteristics even when running in wet conditions or dusty environments common throughout the UK. The adjustable spring collars with locking mechanisms provide both tuning flexibility and security during competitive driving, whilst the inclusion of 30-weight silicone shock oil ensures immediate performance without additional setup or parts sourcing. Whether you're driving a Rustler 4x4 Ultimate, Slash 4x4 Ultimate, Stampede 4x4, Hoss 4x4, or any of the other compatible Traxxas platforms, these shocks deliver measurable improvements in suspension response, ride quality, and overall vehicle handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these shocks suitable for both competition and casual driving? — Yes, absolutely. These GTR shocks are engineered to professional competition standards, which means they deliver excellent performance whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual weekend bashing. The adjustable spring collars allow you to fine-tune the setup for your specific driving style, making them equally at home on a track or in the garden.
• What makes GTR shocks better than standard Ultra Shocks? — The key differences are the 13mm bore diameter which holds over 70% more damping oil, the titanium-nitride coated shafts which eliminate stiction and resist scuffing, the PTFE coating which creates slicker damping action, and the superior X-ring sealing system. Together, these upgrades deliver noticeably smoother suspension response and better consistency across varying driving conditions.
• Do I need to replace the shock oil? — The included 30-weight silicone oil is suitable for immediate use, but many RC enthusiasts adjust the oil weight to fine-tune damping characteristics. Lighter oils (like 15-weight) provide softer, more compliant damping, whilst heavier oils (like 50-weight) create stiffer, more responsive suspension. You can experiment to find the perfect setup for your driving style and local terrain.
• Can these shocks be used as a direct upgrade for my existing Traxxas vehicle? — Yes, these long GTR shocks are designed as direct replacements and upgrades for many Traxxas models including Rustler 4x4, Slash 4x4, Stampede 4x4, Hoss 4x4, and several others listed in the compatibility section. However, you'll need to source compatible springs separately as they are not included.
• How difficult is it to adjust ride height and spring preload? — Adjusting ride height and spring preload is extremely straightforward and requires no specialist tools. Simply turn the threaded spring collars at the top of each shock to raise or lower your vehicle's stance and adjust preload compression. This tool-free adjustment is one of the key advantages of these shocks, allowing quick setup changes at the track or in the field.
• What is stiction and why does the TiN coating eliminate it? — Stiction is the sticky resistance that occurs when damping fluid seals drag across the shock shaft with friction, creating a non-linear response where the suspension feels slightly sticky at certain positions. The titanium-nitride coating on the shaft creates an extremely smooth, slippery surface that minimises this friction, resulting in linear, predictable damping response across the entire range of suspension travel.
• Are these shocks waterproof? — The X-ring seals are engineered to keep oil in and dirt out, providing excellent protection against water ingress and contamination. However, like all RC suspension components, they perform best when rinsed with fresh water after running in wet conditions to prevent corrosion of the anodised aluminium bodies.
• How often will I need to service these shocks? — With proper care, the titanium-nitride coating and hard anodising mean these shocks have excellent durability and resistance to wear. Routine maintenance involves occasional rinsing with fresh water and checking that seals remain intact. For competitive use, many drivers rebuild shocks periodically, but casual users typically enjoy extended service life without major maintenance.
