TRX7855

Overview

The Traxxas Springs, shock (natural finish) (GTX) (1.199 rate) (2 pcs) TRX7855 are premium replacement suspension springs designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand the highest performance from their Traxxas X-Maxx and X-Monster vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated basher, weekend racer, or competitive driver looking to fine-tune your RC monster truck UK setup, these genuine Traxxas springs offer the precision engineering and durability you need to keep your rig performing at its peak. These are not generic aftermarket parts — they are authentic Traxxas suspension components engineered to exact specifications for optimal handling, ride quality and on-track performance.

Suspension tuning is one of the most critical aspects of RC car performance, and having the right spring rate for your driving style, terrain and conditions can make the difference between a sluggish setup and a razor-sharp, responsive machine. The 1.199 spring rate on these GTX shocks provides a specific balance of compliance and support, allowing your suspension to absorb bumps and impacts whilst maintaining consistent contact with the ground during aggressive driving. These replacement springs are essential maintenance items for any serious RC enthusiast running a Traxxas X-Maxx or X-Monster, and they're equally valuable for racers looking to experiment with different suspension geometry and tuning options to extract maximum performance from their vehicles.

Supplied as a pair (2 pcs), these springs are constructed to the same demanding standards as the original equipment, ensuring consistent performance and longevity. The natural finish provides excellent durability whilst maintaining the professional appearance you'd expect from genuine Traxxas components. Whether you're replacing worn springs, setting up a second pair for different track conditions, or simply maintaining your RC collection, these GTX shock springs deliver the quality and reliability that has made Traxxas the world's favourite RC brand.

Key Features

• Genuine Traxxas GTX Shock Springs — These are authentic Traxxas suspension components manufactured to factory specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance with your X-Maxx or X-Monster. Using genuine parts rather than cheap aftermarket alternatives guarantees consistent behaviour and longevity.
• 1.199 Spring Rate — The precisely engineered 1.199 spring rate provides a specific balance of suspension compliance and support that works across a wide range of driving styles and conditions. This rate is ideal for general bashing and mild competition use, offering responsive handling without sacrificing bump absorption.
• Pair of Springs (2 pcs) — You receive two springs in this pack, allowing you to replace both front or both rear shocks on your vehicle, or set up a complete second pair for different track conditions and weather situations.
• Natural Finish — The natural finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability whilst maintaining the professional appearance befitting a premium Traxxas component. The finish protects the steel construction from oxidation and wear.
• GTX Shock Compatibility — These springs are specifically designed to fit Traxxas GTX shock absorbers, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance within the shock assembly. Using the correct spring type is essential for proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics.
• Premium Material Construction — Traxxas springs are manufactured from high-grade steel, precisely heat-treated to deliver consistent performance over thousands of hours of driving. The material selection ensures the springs maintain their shape and rate characteristics even under extreme loads and harsh conditions.
• Essential Maintenance Item — Over time and with heavy use, suspension springs can lose their rate characteristics, become bent, or lose their finish. These replacement springs allow you to maintain your RC vehicle at peak performance and are essential for competitive drivers and serious enthusiasts.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas GTX shock springs represent the finest in suspension engineering for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. These springs are manufactured from premium high-grade steel and precisely calibrated to deliver the 1.199 spring rate specification. The engineering behind these components reflects decades of Traxxas expertise in off-road RC vehicle design and competition motorsport. The spring rate directly affects how your vehicle's suspension responds to inputs and terrain changes — a stiffer spring like the 1.199 rate provides more responsive handling and better bump compliance across rough terrain, whilst maintaining the ground contact necessary for consistent traction. The natural finish steel construction resists corrosion and wear, ensuring consistent performance whether you're driving in dry summer conditions or damp British weather. These springs are engineered to work seamlessly with GTX shock absorbers to deliver the complete suspension tuning package that Traxxas is renowned for in the RC car UK community. Whether you're running your X-Maxx Ultimate or X-Monster Chassis through a bash session or a timed competition course, these springs provide the precision and durability expected from genuine Traxxas suspension components.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What spring rate should I choose for my Traxxas X-Maxx? — Spring rate selection depends on your driving style, terrain, and weather conditions. The 1.199 rate offered here is ideal for general bashing and mild competition, providing a good balance of responsiveness and bump absorption. Stiffer springs (higher rates) provide tighter handling but less suspension travel, whilst softer springs (lower rates) offer more compliance but may feel sluggish. Most X-Maxx owners use the 1.199 rate as their baseline setup.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket copies? — These are 100% genuine Traxxas GTX shock springs, manufactured to original factory specifications. Using genuine Traxxas parts guarantees compatibility, performance consistency, and longevity. Aftermarket or clone springs may fit loosely, vary in rate, or fail prematurely. We recommend always using authentic Traxxas suspension components for the best results.
• How often should I replace my shock springs? — Suspension springs gradually lose their rate characteristics over time and heavy use, typically after 50-100 hours of driving depending on terrain and intensity. If you notice your vehicle handling sluggishly or the suspension feeling less responsive, it's time to replace the springs. Competition drivers often change springs between races to match different track conditions.
• Can I use different spring rates on the front and rear? — Yes, many experienced RC drivers use different spring rates front and rear to fine-tune handling balance. A stiffer rate on the rear can reduce oversteer, whilst a softer front rate can improve turn-in. The 1.199 rate is versatile enough to be used front, rear, or both depending on your setup preference.
• Do these springs fit other Traxxas models? — These GTX springs are specifically designed for GTX shock absorbers on the X-Maxx and X-Monster models listed above. They are not compatible with other shock types or Traxxas vehicles using different shock platforms. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
• What makes GTX shocks different from other Traxxas suspension? — GTX shocks represent Traxxas's advanced suspension technology, featuring improved sealing, better oil options, and more precise valve adjustments than standard shocks. GTX springs are engineered specifically for this platform to deliver optimal performance when paired with GTX shock bodies.
