• Professional Shock Oil — Each pair includes genuine Traxxas shock oil, ensuring optimal damping consistency and allowing you to perform future maintenance and adjustments with the correct fluid specification.
• Complete Spring Set — Two springs are included in the package, providing balanced suspension performance and allowing for future adjustments or replacements as needed during extended use.

Technical Performance

Traxxas Ultra Shocks represent the pinnacle of suspension engineering for performance RC cars and trucks. The short configuration provides a lower centre of gravity and improved cornering performance, which is why these shocks are the preferred choice for RC enthusiasts who demand precision handling. The pre-assembled construction means these shocks are built to Traxxas factory specifications, ensuring consistent damping performance across both units. The inclusion of spring pre-load spacers demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to customisability — serious RC racers can adjust suspension geometry and ride height to suit different track conditions, weather, and driving styles. The professional shock oil supplied ensures that the damping characteristics remain consistent and predictable, whether you're pushing your RC car to the limit on a track or enjoying casual bashing. The short length configuration is particularly effective for reducing body roll during cornering and maintaining stability through aggressive manoeuvres. These shocks are designed to work with the full range of Traxxas RC vehicles and are compatible with many other brands' 1/10 scale models, though compatibility should be verified before purchase. The grey powder-coated finish provides both aesthetic appeal and protection against the elements, making these shocks suitable for use in various UK weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these Traxxas Ultra Shocks suitable for beginners? — These suspension components are suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. Beginners will appreciate the straightforward installation and immediate performance improvements, whilst experienced builders and racers will value the extensive tuning potential offered by the included pre-load spacers.
• What vehicles are these shocks compatible with? — These short configuration shocks are designed for use with Traxxas RC vehicles and many other 1/10 scale RC cars. However, you should verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing. Our team at RC Model Shop can advise on compatibility — simply contact us with your vehicle model.
• How do the spring pre-load spacers work? — The pre-load spacers allow you to adjust the initial compression on the springs, effectively changing the suspension's ride height and stiffness characteristics. By adding or removing spacers, you can fine-tune how your RC car sits and handles without needing to purchase different springs.
• Can I adjust the damping on these shocks? — Yes. The included shock oil can be replaced with lighter or heavier weight oils to fine-tune damping characteristics. The pre-load spacers also allow suspension geometry adjustments. These tuning options make the Ultra Shocks ideal for both casual drivers and serious racers who want complete control over their suspension setup.
• What's the difference between short and long shocks? — Short shocks provide a lower ride height and reduced centre of gravity, improving cornering performance and stability. They're ideal for track racing and performance-oriented driving. Long shocks offer increased suspension travel and ground clearance, making them better suited for off-road bashing and rough terrain.
• Will these work on my RC car? — The short configuration and Traxxas engineering make these compatible with many 1/10 scale RC models, though you should verify compatibility with your specific vehicle. Contact our RC Model Shop team for advice on whether these shocks will work with your particular model.
