Technical Performance
These aluminium shock caps are engineered to deliver enhanced durability and refined aesthetics for Traxxas RC vehicles equipped with GTX shock absorbers. The blue-anodised aluminium finish is not simply cosmetic; anodising creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, weathering and the wear that comes from regular use on UK tracks and outdoor bash sites. The construction methodology ensures that the caps fit precisely over your existing shocks without altering suspension travel, geometry or performance characteristics. The pre-installed pivot balls mean there's no guesswork during installation — Traxxas engineers have ensured correct alignment and fitment from the factory. The inclusion of eight spacers provides tuning flexibility, allowing you to adjust ride height and suspension mounting positions to match your driving style, track conditions, or setup preferences. Whether you're running a ready to run RC vehicle straight out of the box or have heavily modified your Traxxas platform, these caps integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension architecture whilst adding measurable protection and visual appeal.
What's in the Box
- Four blue-anodised aluminium shock caps with pre-installed pivot balls

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do these shock caps work with all Traxxas RC vehicles? — These aluminium caps are specifically designed for Traxxas vehicles equipped with GTX shock absorbers. Check your vehicle manual or specification sheet to confirm your model uses GTX shocks before purchasing, as compatibility varies across different Traxxas platforms and generations.
- Are the pivot balls already installed, or do I need to fit them myself? — The pivot balls come pre-installed on each cap, so you don't need to disassemble anything or perform any complicated assembly. This saves time and ensures factory-correct alignment every time.
- What are the spacers for? — The eight included spacers allow you to adjust your suspension mounting geometry, enabling you to fine-tune ride height, anti-squat characteristics and overall suspension feel to match your driving conditions and personal preferences.
- Will these caps affect my suspension performance? — No, these caps are designed purely as protective and aesthetic upgrades. They do not restrict shock travel, alter spring rates or modify suspension behaviour in any way — they simply shield your existing GTX shocks whilst enhancing the visual appeal of your RC car.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Since the pivot balls are pre-installed and the caps require no special tools or technical knowledge to fit, they're perfect for newcomers to the RC hobby. They're equally valued by experienced tuners and bashers who want to protect their suspension investments.
- Why choose anodised aluminium over plastic caps? — Anodised aluminium offers superior durability, corrosion resistance and a more premium appearance than plastic alternatives. The anodising process creates a hard, protective layer that resists UV damage, moisture and physical impacts, making these caps a long-term investment in your RC car's suspension.
