Overview
The Traxxas Shock mount, lower (extended travel, left & right/ 3x18mm BCS (2) TRX10234) is an essential suspension upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand maximum performance from their short course trucks. These precision-engineered lower shock mounts are designed specifically to increase suspension down travel, allowing your RC vehicle to absorb bigger hits and navigate rough terrain with greater control and stability. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your brushless RC truck to the limit or a weekend basher looking to improve your vehicle's handling characteristics, these extended travel shock mounts deliver the suspension geometry modifications that make a real difference on the track or trail.
As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine replacement parts and tuning upgrades that help you get the absolute best performance from your RC model. The TRX10234 lower shock mounts are OEM Traxxas components, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability. Compatible with the Maxxed-out Slash platform, these mounts are engineered to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, giving you confidence that you're investing in quality that will last. If you're serious about fine-tuning your RC short course truck's suspension geometry for improved handling, ground clearance and suspension travel, this is the upgrade you need.
Upgrading your RC car's suspension components is one of the most effective ways to enhance performance without a complete rebuild. These lower shock mounts work in harmony with your vehicle's suspension arms to provide additional downtravel capability, meaning your shocks can compress further before bottoming out. This translates to better traction, improved cornering stability, and the ability to tackle rougher terrain that would otherwise cause your suspension to max out. For any RC enthusiast in the UK looking to optimise their short course truck setup, the Traxxas extended travel shock mounts represent a smart, cost-effective upgrade.
Key Features
- Extended Travel Design — These lower shock mounts are specifically engineered with extended travel geometry that increases the maximum downtravel distance of your suspension, allowing your shocks to compress further and absorb bigger impacts without reaching the limits of their stroke capacity.
- Left and Right Pair — The package includes both left and right extended lower shock mounts, so you get a complete pair ready to upgrade both sides of your suspension for balanced handling and consistent performance across the entire vehicle.
- Mounts to Suspension Arms — These components attach directly to your suspension arms, integrating seamlessly into your existing suspension setup without requiring additional modifications or compatibility concerns with other parts of your RC vehicle.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — As an official Traxxas replacement part, the TRX10234 is built to the same exacting manufacturing standards as the original equipment, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance that meets Traxxas quality standards.
- 3x18mm BCS Specification — These mounts feature 3x18mm ball cup sockets, the industry-standard connection points for Traxxas shock mounts, ensuring compatibility with compatible Traxxas shocks and suspension components.
- Suspension Geometry Optimisation — By increasing the downtravel available to your suspension, these extended mounts allow you to achieve better ground clearance, improved traction in corners, and more consistent suspension performance across varying terrain types.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas lower shock mounts represent precision engineering at the component level, designed to optimise the suspension geometry of compatible RC vehicles. Made from durable engineering polymers and featuring the proven 3x18mm ball cup socket interface, these mounts deliver reliable performance through countless runs and races. The extended travel design provides approximately 30% more downtravel capability compared to standard shock mounts, which translates into measurable improvements in how your RC short course truck handles rough terrain, jumps, and aggressive cornering. When fitted to compatible Traxxas Maxx and Slash models, the extended lower mounts work in conjunction with your existing shocks to create a more compliant suspension package that maintains traction and control even when pushing hard. The engineering behind this component is rooted in years of Traxxas race team development, ensuring that every dimension and material choice has been optimised for real-world RC performance. Whether you're running 3S, 4S or 6S LiPo power through your brushless motor, upgrading to extended travel shock mounts can help you achieve more consistent lap times and better overall vehicle dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models are these lower shock mounts compatible with? — The TRX10234 is confirmed compatible with the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless Short Course Truck, available in multiple colours including Rock N Roll, Blue, Red, and Green variants. Check your specific model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- What is the difference between standard and extended travel shock mounts? — Extended travel shock mounts, like the TRX10234, provide additional downtravel distance compared to standard mounts. This means your shocks can compress further before reaching their physical limit, allowing better absorption of impacts, improved traction over bumpy terrain, and more progressive suspension action throughout the shock's entire travel range.
- Will these shock mounts improve my RC truck's handling? — Yes, upgrading to extended travel shock mounts can noticeably improve handling characteristics by providing a more compliant suspension package. You'll experience better traction, more consistent cornering performance, improved bump compliance, and the ability to tackle rough terrain without your suspension bottoming out, which is especially beneficial if you run your RC short course truck hard on challenging tracks.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine OEM Traxxas replacement parts manufactured to the same specifications as the original equipment. This ensures perfect fitment, reliable performance, and compatibility with your existing Traxxas suspension components, backed by Traxxas quality assurance standards.
- What battery or power requirements do shock mounts have? — Shock mounts are passive mechanical components that do not require any power, batteries, or electrical systems. They work with any compatible shock absorber regardless of whether your RC vehicle runs 3S, 4S, 6S LiPo batteries or any other power setup, as the mounts simply provide the geometric interface between the shock and suspension arm.
- Can I install these lower shock mounts myself? — Yes, these are straightforward replacement components that bolt directly to your suspension arms using standard fasteners. If you're comfortable performing basic RC maintenance and have the appropriate hex keys and small tools, installation should take only a few minutes per side. Always refer to your Traxxas manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
