Key Features
- Oil-filled design — The oil-filled construction provides superior damping control compared to dry shocks, absorbing bumps and impacts more effectively whilst maintaining consistent performance throughout your driving session, regardless of terrain or driving intensity.
- Assembled with springs — Both shocks arrive fully assembled with springs already installed, eliminating the need for additional tuning or assembly work and allowing you to fit them directly to your LaTrax Rally without requiring extra components or tools.
- Smoother suspension travel — The oil-filled technology delivers noticeably smoother suspension action, reducing harshness and improving driver control, particularly valuable when navigating bumpy tracks or high-speed runs across uneven surfaces.
- Better damping performance — Superior damping characteristics mean your RC car responds more predictably to terrain changes, translating to improved handling, faster cornering speeds and enhanced overall vehicle stability during competitive or recreational driving.
- Complete ball mounts included — The set includes both upper and lower shock ball mounts, ensuring you have all the connection hardware needed to properly secure the shocks to your LaTrax chassis without purchasing additional parts.
- Shock oil included — Genuine Traxxas shock oil is supplied in the package, providing the exact specification required for optimal damping and ensuring your shocks perform at their peak from day one.
- Two-piece set — The package includes a pair of shocks, providing the complete suspension upgrade for your LaTrax Rally's front or rear suspension with matched performance characteristics.
- Genuine Traxxas spare part — As an official Traxxas component, the TRX7660 offers guaranteed compatibility with LaTrax Rally models and the engineering quality you expect from the world's leading RC manufacturer.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Shocks TRX7660 represent a significant step forward in suspension technology for LaTrax Rally owners. The oil-filled design utilises precision-engineered internal components that create consistent damping forces across the entire range of suspension movement. Unlike traditional dry shocks that can produce unpredictable behaviour when subjected to rapid compression cycles, oil-filled shocks maintain stable damping characteristics throughout your driving session, whether you're running short ten-minute blasts or extended weekend racing events. The included shock oil ensures optimal viscosity and damping performance, whilst the pre-assembled springs eliminate the need for complicated tuning calculations. The engineering behind these shocks incorporates years of Traxxas racing experience, with materials and construction methods proven in competitive RC racing environments. The ball mounts are engineered to provide secure attachment whilst allowing smooth articulation, critical for maintaining consistent suspension geometry during aggressive driving. Whether you're pushing your LaTrax Rally to its limits on a local RC track in the UK or enjoying casual bashng sessions with friends and family, these shocks provide the responsive, predictable suspension performance that transforms your driving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these oil-filled shocks improve my LaTrax Rally's performance? — Yes, significantly. These TRX7660 shocks deliver smoother suspension travel and better damping than the standard shocks fitted to LaTrax Rally vehicles. You'll notice improved ride quality, enhanced cornering stability and more predictable handling characteristics, making your RC car more enjoyable to drive on various terrain types and at different speeds.
- Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst these are performance-oriented components, they're straightforward to install on your LaTrax Rally. The shocks arrive fully assembled with springs already fitted, and the included ball mounts provide all the hardware you need. Even if you're new to RC cars, the installation process is simple and doesn't require specialist knowledge or tools.
- What makes oil-filled shocks better than standard shocks? — Oil-filled shocks contain precision-engineered damping oil that absorbs impacts and bumps far more effectively than air-filled alternatives. This oil maintains consistent damping performance throughout your driving session, regardless of temperature or driving intensity. Standard shocks can feel harsh and unpredictable, whilst oil-filled shocks provide smooth, controlled suspension action that significantly improves overall vehicle handling and driver control.
- Can I fit these shocks to other RC models? — The TRX7660 is specifically engineered for LaTrax Rally models. Whilst the ball mount connections are industry-standard, the shock dimensions and spring rates are calibrated for LaTrax Rally chassis geometry and weight distribution. Using them on other RC cars may result in poor suspension geometry and suboptimal performance.
- How do I install these shocks on my LaTrax? — Installation is straightforward. Remove your existing shocks, attach the new shocks using the included upper and lower ball mounts, and secure them to your LaTrax Rally chassis. The shocks arrive assembled and ready to use — simply position them and tighten the connection points. If you're unfamiliar with suspension maintenance, consult your LaTrax Rally manual or contact RC Model Shop for detailed guidance.
- What is shock oil and why is it included? — Shock oil is a specialised viscous fluid that provides the damping effect in oil-filled shocks. The thicker the oil, the more damping it provides. The Traxxas shock oil included in this package is formulated to the exact specification required for optimal performance in these shocks, ensuring your suspension behaves as engineered straight out of the box.
- Will upgrading to these shocks require changing any other suspension components? — Not necessarily. The TRX7660 shocks are designed as a direct replacement for standard LaTrax Rally shocks and use the same mounting points. However, if your LaTrax has other suspension modifications or damage, addressing those before installing new shocks will ensure optimal performance.
- How often will I need to replace these shocks? — Oil-filled shocks are extremely durable and long-lasting. With normal recreational use, they should provide thousands of hours of performance. However, if you notice reduced damping performance, oil leaks, or physical damage, replacement is recommended to maintain optimal vehicle handling.
