Key Features
- Heavy-duty blue aluminium construction — The shock bodies are manufactured from premium-grade aluminium that provides exceptional durability whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring your RC vehicle maintains agility and responsiveness without adding unnecessary weight to the suspension system.
- Silky-smooth damping performance — These GTX shocks are engineered to deliver refined damping characteristics that absorb impacts smoothly, reducing jolts and vibrations whilst maintaining precise vehicle control across varied terrain found throughout the UK.
- Bright anodised finish — The high-impact blue anodised coating serves dual purposes: it adds striking visual appeal to your RC machine and provides a protective layer that keeps the shocks looking fresh and prevents corrosion through repeated runs.
- Threaded shock bodies for ride height adjustment — The innovative threaded design allows you to adjust ride height quickly and easily using the spring retaining collar, giving you complete control over your vehicle's suspension geometry and ride characteristics without needing specialist tools.
- Fully assembled with springs included — All four shocks arrive completely assembled with springs already fitted, eliminating the need for complicated assembly work and allowing you to install them immediately and start enjoying improved performance.
- Set of four shocks — The package includes complete front and rear suspension coverage with four individual shocks, ensuring balanced suspension performance and consistent handling across all four corners of your vehicle.
- Oil-filled design — These shocks contain suspension oil that provides consistent damping performance, smooth operation, and protection against wear, ensuring your shocks continue performing at their best through countless runs.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX7560X shocks represent a significant step up in suspension quality for LaTrax and compatible RC vehicles. Built around proven GTX shock technology, these components deliver the kind of refined damping performance that serious RC enthusiasts expect. The aluminium construction provides the perfect balance between strength and weight, ensuring your vehicle doesn't suffer from suspension-induced sluggishness whilst maintaining the durability needed for aggressive driving styles. The oil-filled design ensures consistent performance across temperature variations and multiple consecutive runs, preventing the suspension from becoming harsh or unpredictable. The threaded collar system for ride height adjustment is elegantly simple yet highly effective, allowing riders to fine-tune their vehicle's handling characteristics to match different terrain types and personal driving preferences. Whether you're running on loose gravel, hard-packed earth, or mixed surface conditions typical of RC tracks and outdoor venues across the UK, these shocks maintain their composure and deliver predictable, controllable suspension response. The bright anodised aluminium finish isn't merely decorative — it actively protects the suspension components from weathering and corrosion, meaning your investment maintains both performance and appearance through extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks suitable for my RC car if I'm new to the hobby? — Absolutely. These shocks are an excellent upgrade for any RC enthusiast, whether you're brand new to the hobby or you've been bashirng for years. The fact that they arrive fully assembled means installation is straightforward, and the improved suspension performance is immediately noticeable. If you've been experiencing a rough ride or inconsistent handling, upgrading to quality shocks like these TRX7560X makes a dramatic difference to your driving enjoyment and will help you develop better control techniques.
- What makes these Traxxas shocks different from cheaper alternatives? — Traxxas shocks are engineered to deliver consistent, reliable performance through extensive testing and quality control. The GTX shock design incorporates proven damping technology, proper oil-filling, and precision manufacturing that budget alternatives simply cannot match. You'll notice smoother suspension travel, better terrain absorption, and shocks that maintain their performance characteristics through hundreds of runs without degradation.
- Can I adjust the ride height on these shocks? — Yes, that's one of the standout features. The threaded shock bodies allow you to adjust ride height by turning the spring retaining collar, giving you direct control over your vehicle's suspension geometry. This means you can optimise for different terrain types, adjust for weight changes from battery upgrades, or fine-tune handling characteristics to match your driving style and preferences.
- Do these shocks come with shock oil included? — Yes, shock oil is included in the package. The oil is essential for proper damping performance and is pre-installed in the fully assembled shocks, so you're ready to install and drive immediately.
- What scale vehicle do these shocks fit? — These shocks are specifically designed for LaTrax vehicles and other compatible platforms using Traxxas GTX shock compatibility. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific RC model before purchasing.
- How long do these shocks last before they need replacing? — With proper maintenance and normal use, quality Traxxas shocks like these TRX7560X typically provide hundreds of hours of reliable service. The aluminium construction resists corrosion, the oil-filling maintains performance, and the precision engineering ensures they remain consistent. Eventually, suspension components do wear and may need rebuilding or replacement, but that timeframe depends heavily on driving intensity and maintenance practices.
