These orange-anodised aluminium shock caps are engineered to add both strength and visual appeal to GTX shocks, making them an essential accessory for serious RC enthusiasts who demand durability and style. Whether you're running a Traxxas X-Maxx, Sledge, or other compatible model, these shock caps deliver the kind of precision engineering that separates competitive-grade builds from standard setups.
If you're looking to enhance your brushless RC truck or ready to run RC vehicle with quality aluminium components, these shock caps offer a direct path to improved suspension performance and aesthetics. The bright orange anodised finish catches light beautifully whilst the solid aluminium construction provides real functional benefits that extend the lifespan of your shock system. For UK RC car enthusiasts who appreciate the details that make a difference, this is the kind of upgrade that shows you take your hobby seriously.
These shock caps come complete with pivot balls already installed, eliminating the fiddly assembly work and getting you on the track faster. The included spacers mean you have everything needed for a complete installation without hunting for additional parts. This is the attention to detail that Traxxas is recognised for worldwide, and it's exactly why serious RC bashers and racers specify Traxxas components for their vehicles.
Key Features
- Orange-anodised aluminium construction — The bright orange finish is not just for looks; anodised aluminium provides superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to standard plastic caps, ensuring your shock system stays protected even during aggressive off-road sessions or when exposed to moisture and salt spray common in UK conditions.
- Pivot balls pre-installed — The caps arrive with pivot balls already fitted, saving you valuable setup time and reducing the risk of assembly errors that could compromise suspension performance on your RC truck or buggy.
- Includes eight spacers — The complete package includes eight spacers, giving you everything required for proper shock installation and allowing you to fine-tune your suspension geometry for optimal handling characteristics.
- Designed for GTX shocks — These caps are specifically engineered to fit Traxxas GTX shock units, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with these premium suspension components found on high-end models like the X-Maxx and Sledge.
- Set of four caps — You receive a complete set of four caps, covering the full suspension system (front and rear) so your RC car enjoys consistent performance across all four wheels.
- Enhanced durability — Aluminium construction offers significantly greater strength and wear resistance compared to plastic alternatives, protecting your shock internals from impact damage during hard landings, jumps and rough terrain running.
- Premium aesthetic finish — The vibrant orange anodised colour coordinates beautifully with other Traxxas aluminium accessories, allowing you to build a cohesive, professional-looking RC vehicle that stands out at the track or local bash spot.
- Traxxas quality assurance — As an official Traxxas component, these shock caps meet the rigorous engineering standards that have made Traxxas the choice of professional RC racers and serious hobbyists across the UK and worldwide.
Technical Performance
These aluminium shock caps represent the kind of engineering quality that distinguishes premium RC components from budget alternatives. The use of anodised aluminium provides exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics whilst delivering superior corrosion resistance compared to plastic caps, which can degrade under UV exposure and moisture. The orange anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a hard, durable layer bonded directly to the aluminium surface, offering protection against the elements encountered during regular UK RC car running. The pre-installed pivot balls mean the suspension geometry is optimised from installation, whilst the included spacers allow you to adjust suspension settings for different driving conditions, whether you're tackling a local track, enjoying weekend bashing sessions, or participating in competitive racing events. Compatible with Traxxas GTX shocks found on high-performance models, these caps integrate seamlessly into suspension systems engineered for extreme performance, whether running 4S LiPo or dual 3S LiPo configurations typical of modern brushless RC trucks. The material science behind anodised aluminium ensures these caps will outlast multiple sets of plastic alternatives, making them a cost-effective upgrade over the long term for anyone who runs their RC vehicle regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock caps compatible with my Traxxas model? — These caps are specifically designed for GTX shocks, which are fitted to premium Traxxas models including the X-Maxx and Sledge. Check your vehicle's specification sheet or contact our team at RC Model Shop to confirm GTX shock compatibility before ordering.
- Do I need any tools to install these shock caps? — Installation is straightforward as the pivot balls come pre-installed. You'll need basic RC tools (typically a hex driver set) to remove your existing caps and install the new ones, along with the spacers provided in the package. Most users can complete the swap in under 15 minutes per shock.
- Why choose aluminium caps over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium caps provide superior durability, better protection for shock internals during impacts and hard landings, greater resistance to UV degradation and moisture, and they dissipate heat more effectively than plastic. For serious RC enthusiasts running their vehicles regularly, the longevity and performance benefits justify the upgrade cost.
- Will the orange colour fade or discolour? — The anodised finish is extremely durable and colour-fast. Unlike paint or powder coating, anodising creates a hard oxide layer that resists fading from UV exposure and maintains its vibrant orange appearance through many seasons of regular use.
- What do the spacers do? — The eight included spacers allow you to adjust suspension geometry and shock preload, enabling you to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics for different driving conditions, track layouts, or personal preference. This tuning capability is essential for extracting maximum performance from your RC truck or buggy.
- Can I use these with other Traxxas shocks? — These caps are specifically designed for GTX shocks. Using them with other shock types may result in poor fitment and compromised performance. Traxxas manufactures shock caps in different styles for different shock systems, so ensure you order the correct caps for your specific shock type.
- Are these available in other colours? — Yes, Traxxas offers these shock caps in multiple anodised finishes including red, blue, green, and grey, allowing you to coordinate your suspension components with your chosen colour scheme or match other upgraded aluminium parts on your vehicle.
