Traxxas GTR Long Shocks 1/10 Green Anodised RC Suspension Set TRX10765-GRN

Overview

Give your Mini Maxx the ultimate suspension upgrade with these premium Traxxas GTR Long Shocks. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running an RC car in the UK or someone just discovering the world of remote control vehicles, suspension performance is absolutely critical to how your model handles across different terrain. These brilliantly green-anodised aluminium shock bodies represent a significant leap forward from standard factory shocks, offering the kind of damping precision and durability that competitive RC drivers and weekend bashers alike have come to expect from Traxxas engineering.

The GTR shock technology has been purpose-designed for the Traxxas Mini Maxx platform, delivering consistent performance whether you're navigating rocky terrain, rough ground, or mixed surfaces. The combination of advanced materials—PTFE-coated aluminium bodies paired with titanium-nitride coated shafts—creates a suspension system that simply performs better over extended running sessions. These aren't just cosmetic upgrades; they represent genuine engineering improvements that translate directly into better handling, improved traction, and a smoother driving experience across your entire RC car setup.

If you're looking to transform how your Mini Maxx responds to bumps, jumps, and uneven surfaces, these GTR Long Shocks offer the perfect balance of premium build quality and practical performance enhancement. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine GTR shock assemblies ready to deliver the performance improvements you're seeking.

Key Features

• PTFE-Coated Aluminium Shock Bodies — The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the aluminium bodies creates an exceptionally slick damping surface, reducing friction and providing the smoothest suspension action available, which directly translates to more responsive and predictable handling characteristics on your RC car.
• Larger Oil Capacity — These shocks feature significantly larger bores than standard shocks, allowing them to hold considerably more damping oil, which means consistent dampening performance across the roughest terrain without the oil heating up and losing effectiveness during extended runs.
• TiN-Coated Shafts — The titanium-nitride coating on the shock shafts resists scuffing and physical damage whilst simultaneously increasing overall durability and eliminating the annoying "stiction" (static friction) that can make suspension feel sticky and unpredictable rather than smooth and linear.
• X-Ring Seals — Advanced X-ring seals keep damping oil securely inside the shock bodies whilst preventing dirt, dust, and moisture from contaminating the internals, ensuring your suspension continues performing smoothly throughout the life of the component.
• Threaded Spring Collars for Easy Adjustment — Spring preload and ride height changes are literally as simple as turning the threaded spring collars by hand, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension geometry and setup without requiring special tools or technical knowledge.
• Locking Lower Spring Retainers — The lower spring retainers feature an integrated locking screw that prevents the annoying and frustrating pop-off scenario where springs suddenly release in the middle of your run, ensuring your suspension remains secure throughout extended driving sessions.
• Pre-Assembled with Springs — These shocks arrive fully assembled and ready to install, complete with springs already fitted and silicone damping oil included in the package, eliminating the need for additional assembly or component purchasing.
• Set of Four — You receive all four shocks necessary for complete suspension coverage on your Mini Maxx, ensuring balanced handling and consistent performance across all four corners of your RC vehicle.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas GTR Long Shocks represent the pinnacle of suspension engineering for the Mini Maxx platform. The combination of PTFE-coated aluminium construction and titanium-nitride shaft coating delivers measurably superior performance compared to standard plastic or basic metal shocks found on entry-level RC cars. The larger bore diameter provides approximately 30% greater oil capacity than comparable standard shocks, which is a critical specification because more oil volume means the suspension can absorb larger impacts without losing damping effectiveness through oil heating and viscosity loss. The X-ring sealing system represents a genuine engineering advantage over traditional O-rings, as the double-sealing geometry provides superior protection against contamination whilst maintaining lower breakaway friction. The threaded spring collar design allows infinitely variable ride height adjustment, giving you the flexibility to adapt your suspension geometry to different driving surfaces and conditions. From a material engineering perspective, the PTFE coating is essentially a self-lubricating polymer that reduces friction coefficients to levels not achievable with standard anodised aluminium, resulting in noticeably smoother damping action that feels more predictable and responsive through your transmitter controls. The titanium-nitride shaft coating is a hardened ceramic compound applied through physical vapour deposition, creating a surface approximately 2-3 times harder than untreated steel, which directly translates into extended component lifespan and maintained performance even after extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these GTR shocks compatible with my Mini Maxx RC vehicle? — Yes, these Traxxas GTR Long Shocks are specifically designed for the Mini Maxx platform and are fully compatible with all Mini Maxx BL-2S variants regardless of colour finish, including black, orange, green, and blue models. They are also compatible with the Mini XRT VXL-3S range in all colour options.
• Do these shocks come assembled and ready to install? — Absolutely. These shocks arrive fully assembled with springs already installed and damping oil included in the package, meaning you can install them directly onto your Mini Maxx without any additional assembly, purchasing, or preparation required.
• How do I adjust ride height on these shocks? — Ride height adjustment is remarkably simple—you simply turn the threaded spring collars by hand to increase or decrease preload, which directly adjusts your vehicle's ride height and suspension geometry without requiring any special tools or technical knowledge.
• What makes these shocks better than standard factory shocks? — These GTR shocks feature several premium engineering improvements over standard shocks: PTFE-coated aluminium bodies for smoother damping, larger oil capacity for more consistent performance over rough terrain, TiN-coated shafts that resist scuffing and eliminate stiction, X-ring seals for superior dirt and moisture protection, and locking spring retainers that prevent springs from popping off during running. The net result is significantly improved handling, better traction, and smoother suspension response across all driving surfaces.
• Can I adjust these shocks if I'm new to RC cars? — Yes, these shocks are actually quite beginner-friendly from an adjustment perspective because the threaded collar system requires no special tools—simply turn the collar to adjust ride height, making them ideal even for newcomers to RC car tuning who want to improve their suspension without complex modifications.
• What is stiction and why do these shocks eliminate it? — Stiction is static friction, which is the resistance you feel when suspension first begins to compress or extend, making it feel sticky rather than smooth. The TiN-coated shafts on these GTR shocks reduce friction significantly, creating linear damping characteristics that feel smooth and predictable rather than binding up at the beginning of compression.
• How long will these shocks last? — The premium materials and coatings used in these shocks—PTFE coating, TiN shaft treatment, and X-ring seals—are specifically chosen for durability and extended lifespan, ensuring your suspension investment continues delivering consistent performance through months of regular running and bashing.
