The combination of advanced materials, precision engineering, and thoughtful design makes these shocks an essential upgrade for anyone serious about maximising their RC car performance.

Key Features

• PTFE-Coated Aluminium Shock Bodies — The shock bodies are precision-machined from high-quality aluminium and finished with a PTFE coating that creates an incredibly smooth, slick damping surface, ensuring the smoothest suspension action available in the RC hobby and significantly reducing friction during compression and extension cycles.
• Titanium-Nitride Coated Shafts — The shock shafts are treated with titanium-nitride coating, which resists scuffing and increases durability while eliminating stiction, the sticky friction that can make suspension response unpredictable and create uneven damping characteristics during hard driving.
• XX-Long Design with 13mm Bores — These shocks feature oversized 13mm bore diameter, which holds over 70% more oil than standard Ultra Shocks, providing superior oil capacity for more consistent damping performance, especially during aggressive driving and high-speed runs where suspension control is critical.
• X-Ring Seals for Superior Oil Retention — Purpose-designed X-rings keep shock oil securely contained inside while effectively blocking dirt, mud, and debris from entering the shock body, ensuring smooth and consistent damping action across all driving conditions and eliminating performance degradation from contamination.
• Threaded Spring Collar Adjustment — Spring preload and ride height adjustments are simple and tool-free, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's suspension geometry and handling characteristics by simply turning the threaded spring collars without needing to disassemble the shocks.
• Locking Spring Retainer Screws — The lower spring retainers feature dedicated locking screws that prevent the frustrating problem of springs popping off during intense driving sessions, keeping your suspension secure and reliable throughout your entire run.
• Includes 30-Weight Pure Silicone Shock Oil — Each pair comes pre-filled with quality 30-weight pure silicone shock oil, so you're ready to install immediately and benefit from the carefully selected oil viscosity that provides optimal damping characteristics for most driving styles and conditions.
• Fully Assembled and Ready to Install — These shocks arrive completely assembled and ready to bolt onto your compatible 1/10 scale RC vehicle, eliminating assembly time and ensuring professional-quality installation that meets Traxxas engineering standards.

Technical Performance

The engineering excellence behind these GTR XX-long shocks is evident in every detail of their construction and performance characteristics. Traxxas has invested significant research and development into creating a suspension system that responds predictably, maintains consistent damping across varying driving conditions, and delivers the kind of reliability that competitive RC drivers depend on. The 13mm bore diameter is substantially larger than standard shock designs, and this increased capacity directly translates to superior oil volume that prevents overheating during extended driving sessions and maintains stable damping rates even during aggressive cornering, jumps, and high-speed manoeuvres. The PTFE coating on the aluminium bodies is not merely cosmetic—it represents a fundamental engineering advantage that reduces friction within the shock cylinder itself, allowing the piston to move more freely and respond more quickly to terrain changes. The titanium-nitride coating on the shafts serves a similar purpose, providing a hardened surface that resists the microscopic damage that accumulates during thousands of compression and extension cycles, thereby extending the working life of the shocks and maintaining their performance characteristics over an extended period. The X-ring seals employed in these shocks represent a significant upgrade over traditional O-ring designs, offering superior sealing capability that prevents oil leakage while maintaining a low-friction interface between the moving shaft and stationary body. This attention to material science and engineering precision is what separates premium RC suspension components from standard alternatives, and it's why these shocks command respect among RC enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond. The inclusion of 30-weight pure silicone shock oil ensures you're running the optimal fluid viscosity from day one, with silicone oil providing superior temperature stability and consistency compared to mineral oils.

Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
• Why would I choose XX-long shocks over standard shocks? — XX-long shocks provide extended suspension travel, which dramatically improves bump absorption and allows your vehicle to maintain traction over rough terrain and larger obstacles. The increased oil capacity in the 13mm bores also provides superior damping consistency and performance during extended driving sessions, making them ideal for competitive driving and demanding terrain.
• Do these shocks come with springs? — No, these shocks are sold fully assembled but without springs, allowing you to select the exact spring rates that match your driving style, track conditions, and vehicle setup. Springs are sold separately and should be chosen based on your specific requirements.
• What is the benefit of PTFE-coated shock bodies? — The PTFE coating dramatically reduces friction within the shock cylinder, allowing the piston to move more freely and respond more quickly to terrain changes. This results in smoother, more responsive suspension action and superior overall handling characteristics compared to uncoated shock bodies.
• What advantage does titanium-nitride coating on the shafts provide? — Titanium-nitride coating creates a hardened surface that resists microscopic scuffing damage during compression and extension cycles, increases the overall durability of the shock shafts, and eliminates stiction, which is the sticky friction that can make suspension response unpredictable and cause uneven damping.
• Why are X-rings better than standard O-rings? — X-rings provide superior sealing capability compared to traditional O-ring designs, preventing oil leakage more effectively while maintaining a low-friction interface between the shaft and shock body. This results in more consistent damping performance and less frequent maintenance requirements.
• How much more oil do these shocks hold compared to standard shocks? — The 13mm bores in these GTR XX-long shocks hold over 70% more oil than Traxxas standard Ultra Shocks, which translates directly to more consistent damping performance, especially during aggressive driving where excessive heat generation can compromise suspension performance.
• Is the suspension setup on these shocks adjustable? — Yes, spring preload and ride height adjustments are made by simply turning the threaded spring collars, allowing tool-free tuning of your suspension geometry without needing to disassemble the shocks. This makes it easy to optimise your setup for different track conditions and driving styles.
• What is included in the shock assembly? — Each pair arrives fully assembled and pre-filled with 30-weight pure silicone shock oil, ready to install immediately onto your compatible vehicle. The shocks include X-ring seals, threaded spring collars, and locking spring retainer screws as standard components.
• Why do the spring retainers have locking screws? — The locking screws on the lower spring retainers prevent springs from accidentally popping off during intense driving sessions, keeping your suspension secure and reliable and eliminating the frustration of lost springs or suspension failure during competitive runs.
