This is a direct Traxxas product, meaning you're getting factory-engineered suspension components with the reliability and performance that has made Traxxas a leading name in RC vehicles across the UK and worldwide. The grey finish matches the aesthetic of modern Traxxas vehicles whilst maintaining the robust construction required for demanding off-road and on-road bashings.
Key Features
- Oil-filled design with X-rings — The shocks utilise oil-filled dampening technology combined with X-ring seals, which provide an impeccable seal that prevents fluid leakage during intense driving sessions and ensures consistent, super-smooth suspension performance over extended use.
- XX-long length specification — The extended length design accommodates suspension geometry requirements for compatible vehicles, providing increased travel distance and improved ground clearance for technical terrain and aggressive driving styles.
- Pre-assembled grey shock bodies — Both rear shocks arrive fully assembled in professional grey, eliminating time-consuming build work and allowing immediate installation, which is perfect for busy RC enthusiasts who want to get straight to driving.
- Complete package with springs and spacers — This set includes two pre-load spacers and complete spring sets, providing all the components necessary for proper shock tuning and suspension geometry adjustment without purchasing additional parts.
- Genuine Traxxas engineering — As authentic OEM Traxxas parts, these shocks are engineered to factory specifications and undergo rigorous quality control, ensuring they maintain your vehicle's performance and reliability standards.
- Rear suspension set of two — The package includes a complete pair of rear shocks, covering the entire rear suspension and providing balanced, symmetrical handling characteristics across both rear wheels.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Ultra Shocks (Grey) (XX-Long) represent the pinnacle of Traxxas suspension engineering, combining oil-filled dampening with precision-engineered X-ring seals to deliver performance that separate weekend bashers from serious competitors. The oil-filled construction provides consistent damping characteristics that remain stable across varying driving conditions, temperatures and terrain types. The X-ring seal design is critical to suspension performance; these dual-ring seals create a superior barrier against contamination and fluid loss compared to traditional O-ring designs, ensuring your shocks maintain their performance characteristics throughout the driving season. The XX-long specification provides extended suspension travel, which is essential for vehicles engineered with longer chassis geometry and higher ride height requirements. Built to work specifically with Traxxas Slash HD XL-5 models and compatible 1/10 scale short course trucks, these shocks deliver the responsive handling and impact absorption that serious RC enthusiasts demand from their suspension systems. The pre-load spacers included in the package allow for precise spring preload adjustment, enabling tuning for different driving styles, track conditions and weight configurations. Whether you're tackling rough terrain, racing on circuit tracks, or pushing your RC truck to its limits, these shocks provide the engineering quality and performance reliability that Traxxas is renowned for across the RC community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Traxxas Ultra Shocks compatible with? — These XX-long shocks are designed to fit the Traxxas Slash HD XL-5 1/10 2WD RTR Short Course Truck range, which includes the blue, orange, green and red variants. These shocks are genuine Traxxas replacement parts engineered specifically for these models, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance.
- Do I need any additional parts to install these shocks? — No, this is a complete package. The shocks arrive fully assembled with springs, pre-load spacers and shock oil included, so you have everything needed for installation and immediate use. You'll only need basic RC tools for removal and installation of your existing shocks.
- What does the XX-long specification mean? — The XX-long designation indicates an extended shock body length designed for vehicles with longer suspension geometry. This extended length provides additional suspension travel and improved ground clearance compared to standard or long-length shocks, making them ideal for aggressive driving styles and challenging terrain.
- How do the pre-load spacers work? — Pre-load spacers adjust the initial compression of the shock spring, allowing you to customise the suspension stiffness and ride height. More spacers increase spring preload for a stiffer, higher ride, whilst fewer spacers reduce preload for a softer, lower ride. This tuning capability lets you optimise handling for different driving conditions.
- Why are X-rings better than standard O-rings? — X-rings feature a distinctive cross-shaped design that creates two sealing surfaces instead of one, providing superior leak prevention and longer seal life. This design is particularly important in shocks because it prevents fluid leakage that would degrade damping performance, keeping your suspension working smoothly throughout the season.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these shocks are excellent for all experience levels. While they are genuine Traxxas OEM components suitable for competitive use, they're equally effective for recreational bashers. The complete package removes guesswork, and installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC knowledge.
- Is this a rear-only set? — Yes, this package is specifically for rear suspension. The model number TRX3762A denotes the rear set with two shocks. If you need to upgrade front suspension, you would order the corresponding front shock set separately.
