The inclusion of a body mount bracket, shock mounting posts, and necessary screws means you have everything required for a complete installation, making this an excellent choice for RC enthusiasts looking to upgrade or repair their vehicles without hunting for additional fasteners and hardware.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — This aircraft-grade aluminium alloy is chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, meaning your shock tower will be incredibly strong without adding unnecessary weight to your RC vehicle, which directly translates to faster acceleration, better handling, and improved overall performance on the track or off-road.
- Green Anodised Finish — The brilliant green anodising serves a dual purpose: it looks fantastic and matches perfectly with green Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL models, whilst also providing a protective corrosion-resistant coating that guards against oxidation, salt spray, and the elements, ensuring your investment stays protected through years of use.
- Precision-Machined Design — Every detail of this shock tower has been machined to extremely tight tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect factory-fit installation that maintains your vehicle's suspension geometry exactly as Traxxas engineers intended, preserving handling balance, ground clearance, and stability.
- Complete Hardware Included — Rather than receiving just the tower itself, you get a fully-featured package that includes shock mounting posts, body mount bracket, and all necessary screws, eliminating the need to source additional hardware and getting you back to racing faster.
- Body Mount Bracket Included — The integrated body mount bracket ensures that your chassis bodywork remains perfectly positioned and secured, maintaining the aerodynamic and structural integrity of your vehicle whilst protecting the internal components from impacts and damage.
- OEM Traxxas Quality — As an official Traxxas component, you can be confident that this shock tower meets the same exacting standards as the original equipment, ensuring compatibility and performance that matches or exceeds factory specifications.
Technical Performance
This front shock tower is engineered from 7075-T6 aluminium, an aerospace-grade material that delivers exceptional rigidity and durability whilst maintaining minimal weight. The material choice is critical for RC performance: stronger shock towers resist bending and flexing under the intense forces generated during high-speed cornering, jumping, and aggressive off-road driving, which means your suspension geometry remains consistent and your vehicle handles more predictably. The precision-machined construction ensures perfect fitment to your Traxxas chassis, maintaining the carefully calculated suspension angles that Traxxas engineers have optimised for performance. The green anodised surface treatment provides not just visual appeal but also protective corrosion resistance that will keep the component looking and performing like new for years, even when exposed to moisture, mud, salt, and other environmental contaminants common in UK RC driving conditions. Whether you're running a stock setup or a highly tuned race configuration, this shock tower provides the structural foundation necessary for consistent, reliable performance.
