Overview
The Traxxas GTR Shock rebuild kit TRX7062 is an essential maintenance component for RC enthusiasts who own 1/16-scale Traxxas models. Whether you're running a Slash, E-Revo, or Rally vehicle, this comprehensive shock rebuild kit allows you to restore your suspension to like-new condition without the expense of purchasing entirely new shocks. Shock maintenance is a critical aspect of keeping your RC car UK models performing at their peak, and this kit provides everything needed to refresh your suspension system professionally.
This rebuild kit is designed specifically for 1/16-scale GTR composite shocks, making it an ideal choice for owners of compatible Traxxas models who want to maintain their vehicles in top condition. Regular shock maintenance helps ensure consistent handling, improved traction, and longer component lifespan. Whether you're a weekend basher, competitive racer, or dedicated hobbyist, having the ability to rebuild your own shocks saves money and keeps your ready to run RC car performing like new. The Traxxas GTR shock rebuild kit represents genuine OEM quality at an affordable price point, backed by Traxxas's reputation for engineering excellence.
Traxxas is renowned worldwide for producing high-quality RC vehicles and replacement parts. The GTR shock rebuild kit is manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original shocks, ensuring compatibility and performance. This rebuild kit is perfect for extending the life of your 1/16-scale RC buggy, truck, or other compatible models, making it a smart investment for any serious RC hobbyist in the UK.
Key Features
- Complete Shock Rebuild Solution — This kit includes all the essential components needed to refresh two 1/16-scale GTR shocks, allowing you to perform professional-level maintenance at home without requiring specialist tools or technical expertise beyond basic RC knowledge.
- Silicone X-Rings Included — The silicone X-rings are crucial sealing components that prevent fluid leakage from your shocks while maintaining consistent damping performance throughout your RC driving sessions.
- Replacement Bladders — Over time, shock bladders can wear out and lose their ability to maintain proper pressure and damping characteristics; this kit supplies fresh bladders to restore optimal shock performance.
- Bump Stops for Suspension Travel — Bump stops prevent excessive compression during hard landings and rough terrain driving, protecting your suspension components and maintaining the correct ride height of your RC vehicle.
- Quality Pistons — The pistons included in this kit are engineered to deliver consistent damping across various driving conditions, helping maintain predictable handling whether you're racing competitively or bashing casually.
- Complete Hardware Package — All necessary fasteners and assembly components are provided, ensuring you have everything required to complete the rebuild without needing to source additional parts from elsewhere.
- OEM Traxxas Quality — Using genuine Traxxas replacement parts ensures compatibility with your existing shocks and maintains the performance standards your vehicle was engineered to deliver.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance — Rather than replacing entire shock assemblies, this rebuild kit allows you to refresh worn components at a fraction of the cost of new shocks.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas GTR Shock rebuild kit TRX7062 is engineered using quality materials that meet Traxxas's exacting manufacturing standards. Silicone X-rings provide superior sealing and resistance to wear compared to standard rubber seals, ensuring your shocks maintain consistent damping performance over extended periods of use. The bladders included in this kit are designed to maintain proper internal pressure, which is essential for correct suspension geometry and consistent handling across different track surfaces and driving styles. The pistons supplied in the rebuild kit are precision-manufactured to deliver linear damping characteristics, meaning your RC car UK models will respond predictably to terrain changes whether you're on smooth tarmac, rough grass, or rocky terrain. The bump stops protect the internal shock components from damage during high-impact driving, extending the overall lifespan of your suspension assembly. This kit is compatible with 1/16-scale Traxxas vehicles including the E-Revo VXL 1/16, the Slash 1/16, and other compatible 1/16-scale models. The comprehensive nature of this rebuild kit means you can maintain your suspension system at peak performance without the downtime and expense associated with sending shocks away for professional servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock rebuild kit and why do I need one? — A shock rebuild kit contains replacement seals, bladders, pistons and other internal components that wear out over time through regular use. Over time, the silicone seals can degrade, bladders lose pressure, and pistons develop wear patterns that affect damping consistency. By rebuilding your shocks with fresh components, you restore them to like-new performance without the expense of purchasing completely new shock assemblies. This is particularly important if you use your RC car UK for frequent bashing or competitive racing.
- How often should I rebuild my shocks? — Shock rebuild frequency depends on how heavily you use your RC vehicle. If you bash regularly several times a week, you might rebuild shocks every few months. For casual weekend use, once or twice per year may be sufficient. Signs that your shocks need rebuilding include inconsistent handling, reduced damping feel, or visible leakage around the shock body. This kit allows you to maintain your suspension system at peak performance consistently.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst shock rebuilding is not an entirely beginner-level task, it is well within the capabilities of any RC enthusiast with basic mechanical skills and patience. Traxxas provides clear instructions with their kits, and numerous online guides and video tutorials demonstrate the process step-by-step. If you're comfortable performing routine maintenance on your ready to run RC car, you should be able to manage a shock rebuild successfully. Many UK RC hobby shops also offer rebuilding services if you prefer professional assistance.
- What tools do I need to rebuild these shocks? — Most shock rebuilds require only basic hand tools such as screwdrivers, small hex wrenches, and potentially shock wrenches (though these are often not essential). Traxxas shock rebuild kits are designed to be accessible to home mechanics without requiring expensive specialist equipment. Always consult the instruction manual included with your kit for specific tool recommendations.
- Will this kit work with my specific Traxxas model? — This rebuild kit is specifically designed for 1/16-scale GTR composite shocks. It is confirmed compatible with the E-Revo VXL 1/16, Slash 1/16, and Rally models. If you own a different 1/16-scale Traxxas vehicle, verify that it uses GTR composite shocks before purchasing. You can check your vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation.
- Can I rebuild the shocks myself or should I use a professional service? — Rebuilding shocks yourself is absolutely possible and many experienced RC hobbyists prefer to do so. This approach saves money and gives you a deeper understanding of your vehicle's suspension. However, if you're uncomfortable with the process, many RC hobby shops in the UK offer professional shock rebuilding services at reasonable rates. Having the ability to do it yourself provides the flexibility to maintain your shocks whenever needed.
