Overview
The Traxxas Shock Towers, Front & Rear (TRX7537X) are premium aluminium upgrade components designed to enhance the performance and durability of your RC car. Manufactured from tough 6061-T6 blue-anodised aluminium, these shock towers deliver a significantly stronger and stiffer mounting point for your vehicle's shock absorbers. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to upgrade your ride, or a serious basher wanting to improve durability on rough terrain, these shock towers represent a professional-grade chassis enhancement that will transform your RC experience.
As an upgrade component rather than a complete ready-to-run RC car, the Traxxas shock towers are perfect for hobbyists who already own compatible LaTrax Rally models and are looking to enhance their suspension performance. The blue-anodised finish not only looks stunning but also provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these towers ideal for UK weather conditions and extended outdoor use. These are genuine Traxxas parts, built to the exacting standards you'd expect from one of the world's leading RC manufacturers.
RC car upgrades like these shock towers allow you to customise your vehicle exactly to your specifications, whether you're preparing for competition or simply want a tougher, more reliable setup for weekend bashing. The investment in quality aluminium components pays dividends in terms of longevity and performance consistency across multiple driving sessions.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These shock towers are crafted from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most trusted materials in RC engineering, offering an exceptional combination of strength, lightweight properties and durability that standard plastic components simply cannot match.
- Blue-Anodised Finish — The professional blue-anodised coating provides outstanding corrosion resistance whilst delivering a striking visual appearance that will enhance the aesthetics of your RC car and ensure the parts remain protected from the elements during outdoor use.
- Front and Rear Mounting Points — This package includes both front and rear shock tower upgrades, allowing you to completely transform your suspension mounting system for comprehensive performance enhancement across the entire chassis.
- Enhanced Stiffness — The aluminium construction delivers significantly greater rigidity compared to plastic alternatives, reducing flex and improving suspension response consistency, which translates to more predictable handling and better shock damping characteristics.
- Stronger Mounting Points — Purpose-designed to provide rock-solid shock attachment, these towers eliminate the movement and play that can develop in plastic mounting systems, ensuring your shocks remain perfectly positioned for optimal performance.
- Professional Upgrade Component — As genuine Traxxas parts, these shock towers are engineered to exacting specifications and represent the choice of serious RC competitors and enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond who demand uncompromising quality.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Shock Towers (TRX7537X) represent a significant step up from standard plastic shock mounting systems found on entry-level RC vehicles. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, this material grade is specifically chosen for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and proven performance record in demanding RC applications. The aluminium construction is substantially stiffer than plastic, which means less flex in the suspension mounting points under load—a critical factor when you're pushing your RC car hard across challenging terrain or during competitive driving sessions. The blue-anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic; it's a protective coating that prevents oxidation and corrosion, ensuring these components will maintain their integrity through countless hours of UK outdoor use, whether you're driving in damp weather, muddy conditions, or after exposure to wet grass and water splashes. The precision engineering ensures these towers fit perfectly with your LaTrax Rally model, providing a seamless integration that feels like a factory component. The enhanced stiffness translates directly to more consistent suspension geometry during aggressive driving, allowing your shocks to perform exactly as the manufacturer intended without the variable flex that degrades performance in plastic systems. For serious RC enthusiasts looking to maximise the potential of their vehicles, upgrading to these aluminium shock towers is one of the most impactful modifications you can make to your chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicle model do these Traxxas shock towers fit? — These TRX7537X shock towers are specifically designed for LaTrax Rally RC vehicles and are not compatible with other Traxxas models. Always verify your model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Why upgrade to aluminium shock towers from plastic? — Aluminium shock towers offer dramatically superior stiffness compared to plastic, reducing flex under load and delivering more consistent suspension performance. The stronger mounting points also prevent the gradual wear and play that develops in plastic systems, maintaining precise suspension geometry through hundreds of driving hours.
- Will these blue-anodised towers rust or corrode? — The blue-anodised finish is specifically applied to prevent corrosion and rust, making these towers ideal for UK climates and wet conditions. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that shields the aluminium underneath from environmental damage.
- Are these difficult to install? — Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and appropriate tools. These parts replace the existing plastic shock towers on your LaTrax Rally, and detailed Traxxas instructions are typically available online. If you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle maintenance, your local RC shop may be able to install them for you.
- What's the weight difference between these and plastic towers? — Whilst aluminium is denser than plastic, the overall weight difference is minimal and largely offset by the performance benefits of improved stiffness and reduced flex, which actually improve handling characteristics.
- Do I need any additional parts or tools? — Beyond standard RC tools like hex drivers and possibly an Allen key set, no additional parts are required. These shock towers are a direct replacement for the stock plastic versions on your LaTrax Rally.
