Overview
The Traxxas Shocks, GTX, aluminium (Green-anodised) (fully assembled without springs) represent premium suspension upgrades for your X-Maxx 4WD monster truck. These aren't entry-level components — they're engineered to handle the demands of serious RC enthusiasts who want to tame the toughest terrain with confidence. Whether you're bashing through rough ground, tackling challenging landscapes, or pushing your X-Maxx to its limits, these aluminium GTX shocks deliver the silky-smooth damping performance that separates good suspension from exceptional suspension. Available as a pair in striking green anodised finish, they're compatible with multiple X-Maxx variants including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S models and the X-Maxx Ultimate. If you're shopping for RC car upgrades in the UK and want to improve your monster truck's handling characteristics, these Traxxas shocks are a trusted choice that will make an immediate difference to your driving experience.
These fully assembled shocks come ready to install without requiring complex assembly, though springs and shock oil must be purchased separately. The green anodised aluminium construction provides not only lightweight durability but also distinctive visual impact that complements the X-Maxx's aggressive styling. The long shock bodies feature threading that enables easy ride height adjustments through the spring retaining collar, giving you the fine-tuning capability that competitive RC drivers demand. This is the kind of upgrade that separates weekend bashers from those who want maximum control and performance from their brushless RC monster trucks.
When you invest in quality suspension components like these Traxxas GTX shocks, you're investing in the longevity and capability of your entire RC setup. The oil-filled aluminium design absorbs impacts smoothly, extends the life of your chassis components, and gives you confidence when navigating rough terrain at speed. UK RC enthusiasts have long recognised that suspension is where performance truly comes from — and these shocks deliver that performance in abundance.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The shock bodies are manufactured from high-quality aluminium, providing an optimal balance between lightweight design and robust durability, ensuring they can withstand the demands of aggressive driving whilst maintaining the responsiveness your X-Maxx needs.
- Oil-Filled Design — These shocks feature oil dampening that provides silky-smooth absorption of impacts and vibrations, translating into significantly better traction, more predictable handling, and reduced jarring through the chassis during rough terrain driving.
- Green Anodised Finish — The bright anodised coating adds high-impact visual style to your X-Maxx whilst providing protective corrosion resistance that keeps the shocks looking fresh and performing optimally across multiple runs and varying weather conditions.
- Fully Assembled Configuration — These shocks arrive completely assembled and ready for installation, eliminating the need for complex assembly work and enabling you to start upgrading your suspension immediately upon delivery.
- Threaded Shock Bodies — The threading allows for easy ride height adjustments using the spring retaining collar, giving you the precision tuning capability to dial in the exact suspension geometry for your specific driving style and terrain preferences.
- Long Shock Design — The extended length of these shocks provides optimal suspension travel, enabling superior ground clearance and allowing your X-Maxx to absorb larger impacts without bottoming out, maintaining consistent performance across varied landscapes.
- Pair Quantity — Supplied as a set of two shocks, providing matched suspension components for both sides of your X-Maxx and ensuring consistent handling characteristics across the vehicle.
- Professional-Grade Performance — These are genuine Traxxas components engineered to OEM standards, delivering the reliability and performance that serious RC drivers expect from a manufacturer recognised for quality and innovation in the brushless RC market.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas GTX aluminium shocks represent a significant step up in suspension technology for X-Maxx variants. The oil-filled aluminium construction delivers exceptional damping characteristics that are particularly noticeable when driving at speed across rough terrain — the shocks absorb impacts smoothly without the harshness associated with lower-quality components. The long shock bodies provide extensive suspension travel, which is critical for a vehicle as powerful as the X-Maxx with its 8S brushless battery system capable of 50+ mph performance. The threaded design allows ride height adjustment through the spring retaining collar, enabling precise tuning to match different driving conditions, track layouts, and personal preferences. The aluminium construction keeps weight to a minimum whilst maintaining the rigidity required to handle sustained aggressive driving. The anodised finish doesn't just look impressive — it provides genuine corrosion resistance, meaning these shocks will maintain their performance and appearance through repeated use in all UK weather conditions. These shocks are compatible with the full range of X-Maxx models including the TRX77096-4 variants in red, green, orange, and blue, as well as the premium X-Maxx Ultimate variants, confirming their versatility and broad application within the X-Maxx family. For drivers serious about maximising their X-Maxx's potential and enjoying the smoothest possible ride quality, these GTX shocks are an essential upgrade.

- What makes aluminium shocks better than plastic alternatives? — Aluminium shocks provide superior damping characteristics, better impact absorption, and improved longevity compared to plastic components. The oil-filled design smooths out vibrations effectively, resulting in better traction and more predictable handling when pushing your X-Maxx hard across challenging terrain.
- Can I adjust the ride height with these shocks? — Yes, the threaded shock bodies allow for easy ride height adjustments using the spring retaining collar, enabling you to fine-tune your X-Maxx's suspension geometry to suit different driving styles, terrain types, and track conditions.
- Are these genuine Traxxas components? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas GTX shocks manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring compatibility, reliability, and performance standards that match the rest of your X-Maxx vehicle and maintain your investment's value.
- What colour options are available? — These shocks are available in green-anodised finish. Traxxas also offers matching GTX shocks in blue, orange, and red anodised finishes, enabling you to colour-coordinate your suspension upgrades with your X-Maxx body colour.
- Will these improve my X-Maxx's handling? — Absolutely. Upgrading to quality aluminium GTX shocks from basic suspension will noticeably improve impact absorption, handling predictability, and overall driving confidence, particularly when navigating rough terrain or driving at high speeds near the 50+ mph capability of your brushless X-Maxx.
