Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These shock bodies are manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, which is renowned in engineering applications for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, ensuring your shocks will perform reliably even in demanding off-road conditions.
- Red-Anodised Brilliant Finish — The anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection, creating a vibrant custom look whilst protecting the aluminium from oxidation and wear that could compromise performance over time.
- Compatible with Standard GTM Hardware — These shock bodies work seamlessly with standard GTM shock caps and pistons, allowing you to easily transfer your existing shock hardware or create entirely new shock assemblies without the need for expensive additional components.
- Spring Pre-Load Spacers Included — Each pair of shock bodies comes with two spring pre-load spacers, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your suspension geometry and ride height to match your specific trail running style and terrain preferences.
- Sold as a Pair — You receive two complete shock bodies in this package, providing the pair you need for a complete front or rear suspension refresh on your TRX-4M.
- Works with Rebuild Kits — If you want to build completely new shocks, these bodies are fully compatible with the Traxxas 9762 and 9762A rebuild kits, giving you access to a wider range of customisation options and tuning possibilities.
- Perfect for TRX-4M Platform — Whether you're running a 1/18 Ford Bronco RTR in blue, red, orange, black, white or Area 51 finish, or a Land Rover Defender in light blue, pink, green, black, silver or tan, these red shock bodies provide a striking visual upgrade to your trail truck.
Technical Performance
The 6061-T6 aluminium used in these Traxxas GTM shock bodies is a professional-grade material chosen specifically for its exceptional durability and lightweight properties. Unlike lower-grade aluminium alloys, 6061-T6 has been heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength characteristics, making it ideal for RC applications where shock bodies must withstand repeated compression, extension and lateral forces during aggressive trail running. The anodised finish is not merely cosmetic—it's a functional protective layer that prevents oxidation of the underlying aluminium, maintaining performance and appearance over extended use. These shock bodies integrate perfectly with the existing GTM shock ecosystem, working with both standard caps and pistons as well as the dedicated rebuild kits available separately. The included spring pre-load spacers allow precise tuning of suspension preload, which is critical for optimising ride height, axle articulation and overall handling characteristics on varied terrain. Built to Traxxas's exacting quality standards, these components represent the level of engineering excellence expected from the brand's premium suspension offerings, delivering reliable performance whether you're crawling technical rock gardens or running faster trail courses across the UK's diverse RC venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these GTM shock bodies compatible with my TRX-4M? — Yes, these Traxxas GTM shock bodies are specifically designed for the TRX-4M platform and work with all variants including the Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender models. They are compatible with standard GTM shock caps and pistons, making installation straightforward.
- Can I transfer my existing shock hardware to these new bodies? — Absolutely. One of the key advantages of these shock bodies is that you can simply transfer your existing shock hardware over to them, which is the quickest way to upgrade the look of your suspension. Alternatively, you can create entirely new shock assemblies using the optional Traxxas 9762 and 9762A rebuild kits if you want a complete refresh.
- What do the spring pre-load spacers do? — The spring pre-load spacers allow you to adjust the compression of your shock springs, which directly affects your vehicle's ride height, axle articulation and handling characteristics. This tuning capability is especially valuable when transitioning between different terrain types or when fine-tuning your setup for specific trail conditions.
- Will these red shock bodies look good on my TRX-4M? — The vibrant red-anodised finish creates a striking visual upgrade and complements the colour schemes of multiple TRX-4M variants. Whether your Ford Bronco or Land Rover Defender is blue, red, orange, black, white, Area 51, light blue, pink, green, silver or tan, these red bodies add a dynamic contrast and professional custom appearance.
- Are these shock bodies durable enough for serious trail running? — Definitely. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, meaning these components will withstand the repeated impacts and stresses of technical rock crawling and demanding off-road use. The anodised protective coating further extends durability by preventing oxidation.
- What is the difference between these shock bodies and the standard ones? — These GTM shock bodies offer a premium red-anodised finish and superior 6061-T6 aluminium construction compared to standard offerings. They maintain full compatibility with your existing GTM hardware whilst providing a distinctive custom appearance and the tuning flexibility of included pre-load spacers.
