Technical Performance
These shock caps represent the engineering excellence that Traxxas is recognised for throughout the RC car community across the UK and internationally. The aluminium construction provides significantly greater durability than plastic alternatives, offering superior impact resistance and maintaining structural integrity through countless hours of intense off-road driving. The green anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from mud, water, and salt exposure, ensuring your shocks maintain their appearance and performance regardless of the terrain or weather conditions you encounter. The pre-installed pivot balls eliminate assembly variables and ensure precise bearing functionality, critical for smooth suspension action and predictable handling characteristics. The inclusion of eight spacers provides flexibility in suspension geometry setup, allowing you to fine-tune ride height and spring preload positioning to match your driving style, terrain preference, and competitive requirements. When used as part of a complete GTX shock system—which features PTFE-coated aluminium shock bodies with titanium-nitride coated shafts, X-ring seals, and precision-engineered damping chambers—these caps contribute to a suspension package that delivers consistent performance across the roughest terrain your RC monster truck will encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas RC truck models are these shock caps compatible with? — These shock caps are designed for Traxxas GTX shock systems and are compatible with the following models: X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck (red, green, orange, and blue variants), X-Maxx Ultimate (green and blue variants), X-Monster Chassis, XRT VXL-8S (blue, orange, green, and black variants), and XRT Ultimate (green and blue variants). If you own any of these models, these caps will integrate perfectly with your existing suspension.
- Do these shock caps require any assembly before installation? — No assembly is required. The pivot balls come pre-installed in each shock cap, and the eight spacers are ready to use. You can fit these caps to your GTX shocks immediately upon receipt, making the upgrade process quick and straightforward.
- Will these shock caps work with standard Traxxas shocks or only GTX shocks? — These shock caps are specifically engineered for Traxxas GTX shock systems. They are not compatible with standard plastic shock designs. GTX shocks feature advanced damping technology with PTFE-coated aluminium bodies and titanium-nitride coated shafts, and these caps are optimised for that platform.
- What is the purpose of the eight included spacers? — The spacers provide adjustment options for suspension geometry, allowing you to customise ride height and spring collar positioning. This flexibility enables you to tune your suspension characteristics for different terrain types, track conditions, and driving styles, making your RC car UK-capable across varied environments.
- Are these shock caps suitable for both racing and bashing? — Yes, absolutely. Whether you're competing in organised RC racing events or enjoying casual weekend bashing sessions, the durability and precision engineering of these aluminium caps make them suitable for all driving styles and usage intensities.
- How do the green-anodised caps compare to other colour options? — The green anodising provides the same performance and durability as other available colours (such as blue). The choice is primarily aesthetic, allowing you to match your shock caps to your truck colour or personal preference. Functionally, all anodised finishes offer equal corrosion resistance and longevity.
- Do I need to replace my entire shock assembly to use these caps? — No, these are replacement caps that work with your existing GTX shocks. If your truck already features GTX shock systems, you can simply swap your current shock caps for these green-anodised aluminium versions. If you have standard shocks, you would need to upgrade to GTX shocks first.
