Overview
The Traxxas Ultra Shocks (Black) (Long) (Front) (2 pcs) TRX3760 represent a premium suspension upgrade for your RC monster truck, delivering the plush damping and super-smooth performance that serious enthusiasts demand. Whether you're running a Traxxas Bigfoot HD or another compatible platform, these oil-filled shocks are engineered to provide consistent, predictable handling across varied terrain. As a dedicated RC car UK hobbyist, you'll appreciate the professional-grade engineering that goes into every Traxxas component, ensuring your vehicle performs at its absolute best whether you're bashing at the local park or pushing your truck to the limit on a dedicated RC track.
This complete front suspension set comes fully assembled and ready to install, featuring two black shock bodies in the long configuration along with all the components you need for immediate fitment. The inclusion of pre-load spacers, springs, and shock oil means you're getting a complete system that requires no additional purchases to get running. Traxxas has built a reputation as the gold standard in ready to run RC vehicles and replacement parts across the UK, and these Ultra Shocks exemplify that commitment to quality and performance.
If you're looking to refresh your suspension system, upgrade from worn shocks, or simply achieve better ride quality and handling characteristics, the TRX3760 offers exceptional value and reliability. These shocks are particularly popular among Bigfoot enthusiasts and anyone running high-performance 1/10 scale monster trucks who demands nothing but the best in terms of damping consistency and durability.
Key Features
- Oil-filled shock design — The internal oil filling provides consistent damping characteristics across a wide range of speeds and conditions, preventing fade and ensuring your truck handles predictably whether you're creeping over rocks or hammering through jumps at speed.
- X-ring sealing technology — Traxxas X-rings provide a perfect seal that keeps the shock oil where it belongs, preventing leakage and contamination while extending the service life of your suspension components significantly compared to standard O-ring designs.
- Pre-assembled black shock bodies — These shocks arrive ready to install in the long configuration, saving you assembly time and ensuring proper factory calibration for optimal performance straight out of the box.
- Included pre-load spacers — Fine-tune your suspension height and stiffness characteristics with the included spacers, allowing you to dial in the perfect setup for your specific driving style, terrain, and vehicle configuration.
- Complete spring set included — Two matched springs are provided, eliminating the need to purchase springs separately and ensuring perfectly balanced front-end performance with equal compression rates on both sides.
- Shock oil included — The provided shock oil is formulated specifically for Traxxas shocks, ensuring you have the correct viscosity for optimal damping performance from day one.
- Super-smooth performance — The combination of oil filling, quality seals, and precision manufacturing delivers a buttery-smooth suspension action that absorbs bumps and jumps while maintaining control, essential for any serious RC basher or racer in the UK.
- Long shock configuration — The long shock bodies provide extended travel and improved ride quality, particularly beneficial for larger jumps and aggressive off-road driving where suspension compliance makes the difference between control and a crashed truck.
- Front-specific engineering — Designed specifically for front suspension duty, these shocks feature geometry and spring rates optimised for front-end handling characteristics, steering response, and weight transfer management.
Technical Performance
Traxxas Ultra Shocks represent the pinnacle of aftermarket suspension technology for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, utilising precision engineering and quality materials throughout. The oil-filled construction is the key to their superior performance; unlike basic friction dampers, the oil provides velocity-sensitive damping that automatically adjusts to driving conditions. When you hit a bump slowly, the oil flows easily, allowing the shock to compress and absorb the impact. When you land hard from a jump, the oil viscosity creates increased resistance, preventing bottoming out and maintaining control. The X-ring seals are critical to this performance—they create a near-perfect barrier that prevents oil leakage while minimising internal friction, resulting in the super-smooth action that makes these shocks stand out from the competition. The included pre-load spacers allow for suspension height adjustment and can modify spring preload characteristics, giving you the tools to tune your RC monster truck for different driving conditions, from tight technical courses to open jumping terrain. The long shock body configuration provides extended travel compared to standard shocks, meaning more suspension movement available to absorb impacts and maintain traction over rough ground. Whether you're running on grass, dirt, concrete, or mixed terrain, these shocks deliver consistent, predictable performance that lets you focus on driving rather than worrying about suspension behaviour. The quality of construction and materials ensures durability through countless drives, with the sealed design providing protection against dirt ingress that could compromise damping performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Traxxas Ultra Shocks compatible with my Bigfoot RC truck? — Yes, the TRX3760 is officially listed as a replacement part for the Traxxas Bigfoot HD 1/10 Electric XL-5 2WD RTR Monster Truck (model TRX36234-8-R5) and the Traxxas Bigfoot HD BL-2S 1/10 Electric 2WD Monster Truck (model TRX36334-4-R5). If you own either of these models, these shocks are a perfect fit.
- Do I need any other parts to install these shocks? — No, the TRX3760 is a complete front shock set. You receive pre-assembled shock bodies, springs, pre-load spacers, and shock oil—everything needed for installation. You will simply need basic RC tools such as a 1.5mm hex driver to remove your old shocks and install these new ones.
- What is the difference between Ultra Shocks and standard Traxxas shocks? — Ultra Shocks feature oil-filled design with X-ring sealing technology, providing superior damping consistency, smoother action, and better performance compared to basic friction-damped shocks. The oil filling prevents fade and ensures predictable handling across varying speeds and conditions.
- How do the pre-load spacers work? — The included pre-load spacers allow you to adjust the initial compression on the springs, effectively tuning the ride height and suspension stiffness of your RC truck. Adding or removing spacers changes how much the spring is compressed at rest, allowing customisation for different driving styles and terrain conditions.
- Why is shock oil important? — Shock oil is essential for proper damping performance. It controls how quickly the shock compresses and extends, preventing the suspension from feeling either too bouncy or too stiff. The included oil is specifically formulated for Traxxas shocks and ensures optimal performance.
- Can I use these shocks on other RC vehicles? — The TRX3760 is specifically engineered for Traxxas Bigfoot models. While other Traxxas 1/10 scale vehicles may use compatible shock designs, you should verify compatibility before attempting installation on non-Bigfoot models.
- How often should I service these shocks? — With regular use, you should inspect your shocks periodically for leaks or damage. If performance deteriorates or you notice oil seeping, the shocks may need servicing. The sealed X-ring design significantly extends service intervals compared to older shock designs.
- What makes the X-ring seal better than standard O-rings? — X-rings provide a superior seal with less friction compared to traditional O-rings. This means better oil retention (preventing leaks) and smoother shock action because there's less internal resistance. You'll notice the difference immediately when driving.
