Overview

Upgrade your RC car UK setup with the Traxxas Shock tower, Rear, 7075-T6 aluminium (Red-anodised) replacement part. This precision-engineered rear shock tower is designed specifically for Traxxas Sledge 1/8 scale brushless RC monster trucks, delivering the strength and durability needed for serious off-road bashing and competition driving. Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your RC vehicle to the limit or a competitive racer demanding the highest performance standards, this genuine Traxxas accessory ensures your suspension geometry remains race-bred and perfectly aligned for maximum control and handling.

Built from one of the strongest and most expensive aluminium alloys available, the 7075-T6 specification provides exceptional rigidity and impact resistance that standard aluminium simply cannot match. Traxxas milled this rear shock tower from solid 7075-T6 billet, meaning the entire component is engineered from premium material rather than being formed or cast. This manufacturing approach guarantees ultimate strength and durability when tackling rough terrain, aggressive jumps, and high-speed impacts that would compromise lesser components. The brilliant red anodised finish isn't just about aesthetics—anodising provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, oxidation and wear, keeping your RC car looking sharp whilst maintaining structural integrity through countless hours of use.

This is a genuine Traxxas component made by Traxxas engineers for Traxxas vehicles, ensuring perfect factory fit with zero modifications required. Every Traxxas shock tower is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, maintaining your vehicle's carefully engineered suspension geometry and keeping your RC monster truck performing at its absolute best. If you're serious about RC performance and want to build your ultimate Sledge with quality aftermarket parts, this 7075-T6 shock tower is an essential upgrade.

Key Features

• 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — One of the strongest and most expensive aluminium alloys available in RC applications, 7075-T6 offers significantly greater strength and durability compared to 6061-T6 or standard aluminium, meaning your shock tower can handle extreme conditions, heavy impacts, and aggressive driving styles without bending, cracking or failing.
• Solid Billet Manufacturing — This rear shock tower is milled from solid 7075-T6 billet rather than being cast or formed, ensuring consistent material density and structural integrity throughout the entire component, delivering superior strength-to-weight ratio and maximum durability under extreme RC racing conditions.
• Red Anodised Finish — The brilliant red anodising provides both visual appeal and functional protection, creating a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, oxidation and weather damage whilst giving your RC car a race-ready appearance that stands out on the track or trail.
• Bevelled Edges with Two-Tone Styling — Precision-bevelled edges create a stylish two-tone visual effect that enhances the professional appearance of your RC setup, whilst also reducing sharp corners that could catch on obstacles during off-road bashing.
• Laser-Etched Logo — The laser-etched Traxxas logo provides maximum visual impact and authenticity, clearly identifying this as a genuine Traxxas component whilst adding to the premium look of your RC build.
• Precision-Machined for Perfect Fit — Every shock tower is precision-machined to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect factory fit on your Traxxas Sledge without requiring any drilling, filing, modification or adjustment—install with confidence knowing geometry will remain perfect.
• Maintains Race-Bred Geometry — This component is engineered to preserve your vehicle's carefully calibrated suspension geometry, ensuring consistent handling characteristics, predictable steering response and optimal performance across varying terrain and driving conditions.
• Complete Hardware Package — This kit includes the rear shock tower itself, a body mount bracket for secure chassis attachment, shock mounting posts for suspension assembly, and all necessary screws and fasteners needed for complete installation.
• Genuine Traxxas Quality — As an official Traxxas part manufactured by Traxxas engineers, this shock tower meets all OEM specifications and quality standards, guaranteeing compatibility, performance and longevity compared to aftermarket alternatives.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Shock tower, Rear, 7075-T6 aluminium (Red-anodised) represents the pinnacle of RC suspension component engineering, utilising aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy that delivers exceptional performance advantages over conventional materials. The 7075-T6 specification is recognised as one of the strongest and most expensive aluminium alloys in the entire RC industry, offering superior tensile strength, yield strength and fatigue resistance compared to 6061-T6 alternatives. This translates to real-world benefits for RC enthusiasts: your shock tower resists bending during hard landings, maintains structural integrity through countless impacts, and survives aggressive off-road conditions that would damage or destroy lesser components. The solid billet milling process ensures that every cubic millimetre of this component features the same exceptional material properties—there are no weak points, no stress concentrations, and no areas of inconsistent quality that could lead to premature failure. The precision-machined construction maintains perfect dimensional tolerances, ensuring your suspension geometry remains exactly as Traxxas engineers intended, which means optimal shock performance, predictable handling characteristics, and maximum grip through corners. The red anodised finish provides both aesthetic appeal and functional corrosion protection, using an electrochemical process that creates a hard, durable oxide layer resistant to salt spray, moisture, UV exposure and chemical attack. For RC enthusiasts in the UK building high-performance Sledge monster trucks, this shock tower delivers the engineering excellence and durability required for competitive racing, weekend bashing, and everything in between.
