Overview
The Traxxas Body, GTR long shock in stunning pink-anodised aluminium is a precision-engineered suspension component designed for 1/10 scale RC cars. This replacement shock body is ideal for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade or maintain their Traxxas models, whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend basher. The pink-anodised finish gives your RC car UK a distinctive aesthetic while delivering professional-grade performance that serious hobbyists demand.
Built from high-quality aluminium and coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), this long-format GTR shock body delivers exceptional damping performance that remains smooth and consistent through extended use. PTFE coating is a hallmark of premium RC suspension components, reducing friction and wear to ensure your ready to run RC car maintains optimal handling characteristics lap after lap. Whether you're upgrading a Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 or replacing worn suspension components, this shock body represents genuine Traxxas quality and engineering.
As a replacement spare part, this shock body is perfect for maintaining peak performance in your RC model, or for customising your setup with the distinctive pink-anodised colour. The threaded design ensures compatibility with standard Traxxas shock mounts and components, making installation straightforward for enthusiasts of all experience levels. One piece is included per package, allowing you to upgrade individual shocks or complete a full suspension refresh.
Key Features
- Pink-Anodised Aluminium Construction — The aluminium material provides a lightweight yet rigid structure that resists flexing under load, whilst the pink-anodised coating offers both visual appeal and enhanced durability against corrosion and wear in the UK's variable weather conditions.
- PTFE Coating for Ultra-Smooth Damping — The proprietary PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating dramatically reduces internal friction within the shock body, delivering consistently smooth damping performance throughout your RC car's suspension stroke and ensuring your suspension maintains its characteristics over hundreds of runs.
- Long Shock Format (GTR XX-Long) — The extended length design accommodates a longer shock travel distance, providing superior suspension geometry and improved handling characteristics, particularly valuable for off-road RC vehicles that encounter varied terrain and obstacles.
- 1/10 Scale Specification — Engineered specifically for 1/10 scale RC models, this shock body maintains perfect fitment and clearance with standard Traxxas 1/10 chassis platforms, ensuring seamless integration without modification.
- Threaded Design — The threaded shock body allows for precise adjustment and secure fastening to your RC car's suspension mounts, providing reliable mechanical connection and enabling fine-tuning of suspension geometry for optimal handling.
- Single Unit Package — One shock body per package allows you to replace individual shocks as needed or select your preferred upgrade sequence based on your maintenance schedule or customisation preferences.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas GTR long shock body represents professional-grade suspension engineering designed to deliver consistent, predictable damping performance in demanding RC racing and bashing environments. Manufactured from premium aluminium alloy, the shock body provides an optimal balance between lightweight construction and structural rigidity, critical for maintaining suspension geometry under the dynamic forces experienced during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The PTFE coating is a game-changer for serious RC enthusiasts, dramatically extending the usable life of the shock whilst maintaining the smooth damping characteristics that separate high-performing RC cars UK from entry-level models. The long format (XX-Long/GTR designation) extends the shock's effective travel range, enabling more responsive suspension articulation and improving the vehicle's ability to absorb impacts from jumps, ramps, and rough terrain. The threaded construction ensures secure mechanical attachment and allows for precise suspension tuning through adjustable shock mounting positions. This component is engineered to withstand repeated high-impact use and maintains consistent performance across wide temperature ranges, making it suitable for year-round RC car operation in the UK climate. The pink-anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance alongside aesthetic appeal, ensuring your RC car maintains its appearance through extended use in wet conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between GTR long shocks and standard shocks for my RC car UK? — The GTR long shock format extends the shock travel distance compared to standard shock bodies, providing improved suspension geometry and better absorption of impacts during jumps and rough terrain. The longer design allows the suspension to articulate more freely, resulting in better handling characteristics and more responsive suspension feel. This makes GTR long shocks particularly valuable for off-road and bashing applications where suspension travel is critical.
- Will this pink-anodised shock body fit my Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL? — Yes, this shock body is specifically engineered for compatibility with Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 1:10 brushless models in both green and blue colour options. The threaded design ensures proper fitment with your vehicle's suspension mounts without requiring modifications.
- How does PTFE coating improve shock performance? — PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating dramatically reduces internal friction within the shock body, eliminating stiction (static friction) that can cause jerky, inconsistent damping. This results in ultra-smooth suspension response, more predictable handling, and extended lifespan of the shock components. PTFE-coated shocks maintain consistent damping performance over hundreds of runs, making them essential for serious RC racers and enthusiasts.
- Can I install this shock body myself, or do I need professional help? — Installing this shock body is straightforward for most RC enthusiasts. Simply remove your existing shock body from its mounts and install the new pink-anodised unit using the threaded connections. No special tools are required beyond basic Allen keys or hex drivers. If you're uncomfortable performing suspension work, many UK RC retailers and hobby shops offer installation services.
- What maintenance does this shock body require? — The PTFE coating significantly reduces maintenance requirements compared to uncoated shocks. Periodically clean the exterior with a soft cloth to remove dirt and debris, and inspect the threaded connections for security. The PTFE coating provides long-lasting protection, so no additional lubrication or specialised maintenance is necessary for normal use.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas product? — Yes, this is an authentic Traxxas replacement part manufactured to exact Traxxas specifications. The model number TRX7466-PINK confirms this is a genuine Traxxas component, not an aftermarket alternative.
