Key Features
- Premium Anodised Aluminium Construction — The shock body is manufactured from high-quality aluminium that has been anodised in vibrant orange, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability whilst maintaining a lightweight profile that doesn't compromise your vehicle's handling characteristics or battery runtime.
- Silky-Smooth Damping Performance — The GTX™ shock system is engineered to deliver exceptional damping characteristics that tame the toughest terrain, absorbing impacts smoothly and maintaining consistent suspension response across varied ground conditions, from rocky trails to sandy environments.
- Threaded Design for Easy Ride Height Adjustment — The aluminium shock bodies feature threading that works seamlessly with the spring retaining collar, allowing you to make precise ride height adjustments without special tools, giving you complete control over your vehicle's stance and performance tuning.
- High-Impact Orange-Anodised Finish — Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the bright anodised finish provides genuine functional benefits, including corrosion protection and a durable surface that resists wear from repeated bashing and competitive use, ensuring your shocks maintain their appearance and integrity through countless runs.
- Compatible with X-Maxx Models — This shock body is engineered to work with multiple X-Maxx variants including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck in red, green, orange and blue variants, the X-Maxx Ultimate in green and blue, and the X-Monster chassis, making it a versatile spare part for X-Maxx owners.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas GTX shock body represents a significant engineering achievement in RC suspension design. Manufactured from premium anodised aluminium, this component combines lightweight construction—critical for maintaining optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics on your brushless RC monster truck or X-Maxx platform—with exceptional strength and durability required to withstand the forces generated during high-speed running and competitive use. The anodisation process applied to the orange finish isn't merely cosmetic; it creates a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion from moisture, dirt and the various environmental factors encountered during outdoor RC driving in the UK climate. The threaded design allows seamless integration with standard spring retaining collars, enabling precise ride height adjustments that directly impact your vehicle's ground clearance, approach angles, and overall handling balance. The silky-smooth damping characteristics of the GTX system work in harmony with appropriate shock oil selection (sold separately) and spring rates to provide the refined suspension response that separates professional-grade RC equipment from basic alternatives. This is the kind of precision engineering that enables competitive RC racers to extract maximum performance from their vehicles whilst giving weekend bashers the confidence to attack rough terrain without worry about component failure.

Springs and shock oil are sold separately, allowing you to match the body with your preferred spring rates and oil viscosity for your specific driving style and terrain.

- Why would I need a replacement shock body? — Over time, shock bodies can become damaged from impacts, corrosion from moisture exposure, or general wear from repeated use.
