Traxxas GTX Aluminium RC Shocks Pair Blue-anodised TRX7761

Overview

The Traxxas Shocks, GTX, aluminium (Blue-anodised) (fully assembled without springs) (2 pcs) TRX7761 represents premium suspension engineering for your high-performance RC monster truck. These are the genuine Traxxas replacement shocks designed specifically for the iconic X-Maxx range, one of the most capable and thrilling RC vehicles available in the UK market. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your suspension setup or someone seeking to maintain peak performance on your existing X-Maxx model, these GTX shocks deliver the professional-grade damping control and durability that Traxxas is renowned for.

Built from aerospace-grade aluminium and finished in striking blue anodised coating, these shocks combine functional performance with visual impact. The fully assembled construction means you're getting a ready-to-install suspension component that requires no complex assembly, allowing you to get back out bashing or racing faster. As a pair, these shocks provide balanced, symmetrical suspension geometry across your RC car UK setup, ensuring consistent handling whether you're tackling rough terrain, launching jumps, or pushing through technical courses. The blue anodised finish not only looks premium and contemporary, but also provides corrosion resistance to keep your shocks looking fresh run after run, even in the demanding British weather.

These aluminium GTX shocks are engineered to absorb the punishment that serious RC bashing and racing demands. The silky-smooth damping performance comes from professional-grade oil-filled construction that handles the toughest terrain with grace and control. For X-Maxx owners and those running compatible X-Monster platforms, upgrading to these genuine Traxxas GTX shocks is an investment in handling precision, durability, and that unmistakable Traxxas quality that keeps RC enthusiasts coming back.

Key Features

• Oil-filled aluminium long shock bodies — These shocks use a proven oil-damping system that provides consistent, controlled suspension response across a wide range of terrain and driving conditions, preventing jarring impacts and maintaining traction through rough ground.
• Silky-smooth damping performance — The GTX shock design delivers premium damping characteristics that absorb impacts smoothly and progressively, allowing your X-Maxx to maintain better traction and stability during aggressive driving and racing.
• Threaded design for easy ride height adjustments — The shock bodies feature threading that works with the spring retaining collar, allowing you to quickly and precisely adjust your ride height without removing the entire shock assembly, making setup changes at the track or bash spot straightforward.
• Bright blue anodised aluminium finish — The premium anodised finish delivers high-impact visual style whilst providing genuine corrosion resistance that keeps your shocks protected and looking fresh through countless runs and exposure to wet British conditions.
• Fully assembled construction — These shocks arrive completely assembled and ready to install, eliminating the need for time-consuming assembly work and allowing you to focus on tuning and driving rather than preparation.
• Sold as a pair — You receive two complete shocks, providing the matched suspension geometry essential for balanced handling and consistent performance across both the front and rear of your RC monster truck.
• Compatible with major X-Maxx models — These genuine Traxxas shocks work with the full range of X-Maxx variants including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S in Orange, Blue, Red and Green, the X-Maxx Ultimate models, and the X-Monster chassis platform.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas GTX shock technology represents decades of Traxxas suspension engineering expertise applied to the demands of modern high-performance RC vehicles. These long-format shocks utilise oil-filled aluminium bodies that provide progressive damping characteristics, meaning they respond differently to small bumps versus large impacts, keeping your suspension both compliant and controlled. The aluminium construction offers the perfect balance between weight savings and structural rigidity, ensuring your shocks maintain their geometry under the extreme forces generated by 8S LiPo-powered monster trucks like the X-Maxx. The anodised finish isn't merely decorative; it represents a genuine surface treatment that enhances durability and corrosion resistance, critical for RC cars that may encounter muddy terrain, water splashes, or salty conditions typical across the UK. The threaded shock bodies work in conjunction with spring retaining collars to give you precise ride height adjustment without requiring shock disassembly, a feature that separates professional-grade suspension components from basic alternatives. Being fully assembled means these shocks have been precision-engineered and quality-checked before leaving the Traxxas factory, delivering consistent performance characteristics right out of the box. The pair configuration ensures matched damping and spring seating across both shocks, essential for the suspension symmetry that allows your RC car to handle predictably whether turning left or right, whether on asphalt or through mud.
