Technical Performance
The Traxxas Mount, shock (steel) (2) TRX9564 represents a crucial structural element within your 1/8 scale RC monster truck's suspension system. Steel mounting points provide superior rigidity and strength compared to plastic alternatives, which is essential when dealing with the high-impact forces generated by a brushless electric monster truck capable of extreme speeds and aggressive driving styles. The shock mounts work in conjunction with your shocks and chassis to maintain proper suspension geometry, absorb impacts from jumps and rough terrain, and keep your Sledge belted monster truck performing at its best. The engineering ensures that shock loads are distributed efficiently throughout the chassis, preventing damage to the main structure and extending the overall lifespan of your RC vehicle. For serious bashers and competitive drivers running a 1/8 scale 4WD brushless RC monster truck, investing in quality steel shock mounts means the difference between a chassis that holds together through countless runs and one that requires frequent repairs due to component failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a shock mount and why does my RC monster truck need it? — A shock mount is the bracket or component that secures your shock absorber to the chassis of your RC vehicle. In a 1/8 scale brushless RC monster truck like the Traxxas Sledge, shock mounts are critical structural components that hold your suspension in place and help maintain proper suspension geometry. Without secure shock mounts, your suspension would not function correctly, and impacts from jumps and rough terrain could damage your chassis. These steel mounts provide the strength needed to withstand the forces generated by a brushless electric motor and aggressive driving.
- Are these shock mounts compatible with my Traxxas vehicle? — The Traxxas Mount, shock (steel) (2) TRX9564 is specifically compatible with the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck, available in Green (TRX95096-4-GRN), Red (TRX95096-4-RED), Blue (TRX95096-4-BLUE), and Orange (TRX95096-4-ORNG) variants. If you own one of these Sledge models, these mounts will fit perfectly.
- Why choose steel shock mounts over plastic alternatives? — Steel shock mounts offer significantly greater durability and strength compared to plastic alternatives. When driving a brushless 1/8 scale RC monster truck, the suspension system experiences tremendous forces from jumps, impacts, and aggressive acceleration. Steel construction ensures these mounts will not bend, flex, or break under stress, whereas plastic mounts can crack or deform over time, leading to suspension misalignment and potential chassis damage. For serious RC drivers in the UK who want their monster truck to perform reliably over the long term, steel mounts represent a worthwhile upgrade.
- How many shock mounts do I need? — Most RC monster trucks have shock mounts at both the front and rear of the vehicle, typically requiring four mounts in total (two per axle). This pack contains two mounts, so you can replace both mounts on one axle, or keep one as a spare while installing one on your vehicle. You may need to purchase multiple packs if replacing all four shock mounts at once.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, the TRX9564 is a genuine Traxxas replacement part manufactured to the exact specifications required for perfect fitment and performance in your Sledge monster truck. Purchasing genuine Traxxas spares ensures you receive authentic components with guaranteed compatibility and quality.
