The precision machining guarantees a perfect factory fit every time, eliminating any guesswork during installation and ensuring your RC vehicle performs exactly as the engineers intended.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, meaning your shock tower will resist bending and breaking during aggressive cornering, jumps and high-speed runs without adding unnecessary weight to your RC car's suspension geometry.
- Brilliant Green Anodising Finish — The vibrant green anodised coating provides more than just visual appeal; the anodising process creates a protective barrier against corrosion, moisture damage and UV fading, ensuring your rear shock tower maintains its appearance and structural integrity season after season in the UK climate.
- Precision-Machined Design — Each shock tower is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect factory fit to your RC vehicle and maintaining the exact suspension geometry that Traxxas engineers designed, which is critical for consistent handling and predictable vehicle behaviour.
- Includes Body Mount Bracket — The inclusion of the body mount bracket as standard eliminates the need for separate purchases and ensures you have all the hardware necessary for a complete installation, saving you time and money when upgrading your RC model.
- Complete Hardware Package — Shock mounting posts and all necessary screws are included in the box, so you can proceed directly to installation without hunting for additional fasteners or making trips to specialist RC shops.
- Race-Bred Geometry Maintenance — By replacing a damaged or worn shock tower with this genuine Traxxas part, you preserve the carefully engineered suspension geometry that gives your RC car its competitive edge and responsive handling characteristics.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas rear shock tower represents the pinnacle of suspension component engineering for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Manufactured from 7075-T6 aluminium, one of the strongest aluminium alloys available for RC applications, this part offers exceptional rigidity without the weight penalty associated with steel alternatives. The material choice is deliberate: 7075-T6 provides superior resistance to the repeated stress cycles that occur during aggressive RC car operation, from launching off jumps to hard cornering. The anodised finish adds another layer of protection, with the green anodising process creating a corrosion-resistant surface that withstands UK weather conditions including rain, road salt spray and temperature fluctuations. Precision machining ensures that every shock tower meets Traxxas' exact specifications, maintaining proper suspension geometry and allowing shocks to operate at their designed angles for optimal performance. The integrated design works seamlessly with Traxxas' suspension system, ensuring that shock mounting posts align perfectly and body mount brackets integrate smoothly with your RC vehicle's chassis. This level of engineering precision is what separates genuine Traxxas components from inferior aftermarket alternatives, and it's why serious RC enthusiasts throughout the UK trust this brand for replacement parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models is this rear shock tower compatible with? — This rear shock tower is specifically designed for the Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 1/10 brushless models, including both the green (TRX67097-4-GRN) and blue (TRX67097-4-BLUE) variants. It is a direct replacement component that fits perfectly without modification.
- What makes 7075-T6 aluminium better than standard aluminium for RC cars? — 7075-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that offers significantly greater strength and hardness compared to standard aluminium grades like 6061. This means your shock tower will resist bending and deformation under the extreme loads generated during jumps, hard cornering and high-speed running, making it ideal for competitive RC car enthusiasts who demand durability.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part or a clone? — This is a 100% genuine Traxxas component manufactured to the exact specifications set by Traxxas engineers. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only authentic parts, ensuring perfect compatibility and the quality standards you expect from the brand.
- Do I need any special tools to install this shock tower? — Installation requires only basic RC tools including hex keys and a screwdriver. The precision-machined design means there's no modification needed; simply remove the old shock tower and install the new one using the included mounting posts and screws. Most users can complete installation within 15-20 minutes.
- Why would I need to replace my shock tower? — Shock towers can become damaged through crashes, hard impacts from jumps, or general wear and tear from aggressive driving. A bent or cracked shock tower compromises your vehicle's suspension geometry, leading to unpredictable handling and poor performance. Replacing it with this genuine Traxxas part restores your RC car's performance characteristics.
- Does the green anodising affect performance? — No, the anodising is purely aesthetic and protective. It provides corrosion resistance and UV protection without impacting the structural properties or weight of the aluminium, so your RC car performs identically to models with different anodise colours.
