Technical Performance
The TRX9826 shock mounts and extended trailer hitch represent precision engineering at its finest, designed and manufactured by Traxxas using high-quality materials that can withstand the demands of 1/18 scale RC driving. These components are critical to the performance envelope of your TRX-4M, working in concert with the Long Arm Lift Kit to deliver improved suspension articulation, greater ground clearance and enhanced approach angles for navigating obstacles that standard suspension geometry cannot accommodate. The shock mounts themselves are engineered to maintain proper shock alignment and travel, ensuring that your vehicle's suspension operates at peak efficiency whether you're crawling over rocks, navigating through grass, or pursuing high-speed runs across open ground. The extended trailer hitch adds genuine functionality to your platform, constructed from Traxxas's proven durable materials and designed to handle the stresses of towing scaled accessories without compromising the handling or performance of your RC truck. When used as part of the complete TRX-4M Long Arm Lift Kit system, these components work together to create a suspension platform that delivers responsiveness, durability and the kind of real-world performance that makes Traxxas the choice of RC enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.
