• 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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
