Key Features
- Heavy-duty GTM Shock Design — These shocks utilise big-truck suspension technology, meaning they're engineered using principles proven on full-size vehicles and scaled down perfectly for your 1/18 scale RC crawler, providing superior performance compared to basic shock absorbers.
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The tough 6061-T6 aluminium alloy delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring your shocks can absorb impacts from rocky terrain and rough trails without bending or failing, maintaining performance through countless bashings.
- Brilliant Green-Anodised Finish — The anodised coating provides a vibrant, eye-catching appearance while protecting the aluminium from corrosion and wear, maintaining the visual appeal of your RC model season after season.
- Fully Assembled and Ready to Install — These shocks arrive completely assembled, eliminating the need for time-consuming construction and allowing you to get out on the trail faster than building shocks from component parts.
- Pre-load Spacers Included — The set includes four pre-load spacers (one for each shock), enabling you to fine-tune the suspension geometry and ride height to match your driving style and terrain preferences.
- Enhanced Reliability and Durability — These dampers are engineered for long-lasting performance, meaning fewer repairs and more time enjoying your RC hobby rather than troubleshooting equipment on the workbench.
- Smoother Suspension Travel — The GTM shock design delivers noticeably smoother damping action compared to standard shocks, allowing your TRX-4M to absorb bumps and obstacles more effectively whilst maintaining better traction and control.
- Set of Four for Complete Coverage — You receive four shocks in this package, providing complete front and rear suspension coverage for your TRX-4M without needing to purchase additional sets.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas GTM shocks represent a significant engineering advancement in RC trail truck suspension technology. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, these dampers combine lightweight construction with outstanding strength, allowing them to withstand the rigorous demands of off-road terrain whilst keeping your 1/18 scale RC crawler's weight distribution optimal. The anodising process not only creates the striking green finish but also hardens the aluminium surface, providing superior resistance to corrosion and impact damage. Each shock is fully assembled with precision-engineered internal components that work together to deliver consistent damping performance across varying terrain types. The inclusion of pre-load spacers allows for suspension geometry adjustments, enabling you to customise your TRX-4M's ride height and suspension response to match different trail conditions, from rocky scrambles to high-speed loose terrain. Whether you're running your RC car on technical rock crawling courses or fast-moving trail routes, these shocks absorb impacts effectively whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics. The engineering philosophy behind these GTM shocks draws from full-size truck suspension design, scaled appropriately for 1/18 scale models, ensuring your RC crawler benefits from proven suspension principles.
