Technical Performance
The Traxxas Sledge Belted is engineered as a high-performance 1/8 scale 4WD brushless electric monster truck, and this suspension upgrade kit maintains compatibility with that world-class engineering. The GT-Maxx shock system represents advanced suspension technology designed to handle extreme speeds and aggressive terrain without compromising ride quality. The spring perch component allows for precise adjustment of suspension geometry, enabling you to optimise your truck's handling for everything from smooth high-speed runs to rough off-road bashing. The adjusters provide fine-tuning capability that competitive RC drivers value, allowing you to make small but significant adjustments to damping and spring preload without requiring complete shock replacement. The shock caps protect your investment by shielding internal components from water ingress, dirt contamination, and UV damage, all factors that can degrade suspension performance over time. This genuine Traxxas component maintains the factory specifications and engineering standards that make the Sledge one of the most capable monster trucks available in the UK RC market today, ensuring that your suspension upgrades integrate seamlessly with the rest of your truck's systems and electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this suspension upgrade suitable for my Traxxas Sledge monster truck? — Yes, this genuine Traxxas spare part kit is specifically engineered for the Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD brushless electric monster truck. It's compatible with all colour variants including the green TRX95096-4-GRN, red TRX95096-4-RED, blue TRX95096-4-BLUE, and orange TRX95096-4-ORNG models. This ensures perfect fitment and optimal suspension performance.
- What will upgrading my suspension with these components improve? — The GT-Maxx shock caps, spring perch, and adjusters allow you to customise your suspension setup for different driving conditions, terrain types, and personal preferences. You'll gain the ability to fine-tune ride height, spring preload, and damping characteristics, resulting in improved handling, better terrain compatibility, and enhanced overall driving experience whether you're competitive racing or casual bashing.
- Do I need any special tools to install these suspension components? — Basic RC tools are typically sufficient for suspension work, including hex keys and screwdrivers. A shock wrench may be helpful for working with the spring perch and adjusters, but many UK RC hobbyists manage with standard tools available in any toolkit. Detailed installation instructions from Traxxas are recommended.
- Can I use these components if I already have a standard Sledge suspension setup? — Yes, the GT-Maxx shock system and associated components are designed as an upgrade for the Sledge, improving suspension capability and allowing greater customisation. However, you should verify compatibility with your specific Sledge model and consider consulting Traxxas documentation or seeking advice from an authorised UK RC retailer before making modifications.
- How often should I replace or service these suspension components? — Regular maintenance depends on how frequently you use your Sledge monster truck. The shock caps protect your shocks from damage and contamination, potentially extending component lifespan. The spring perch and adjusters are adjustable tuning components rather than wear items, but seals and internal shock components may require periodic replacement depending on usage intensity. Many UK RC enthusiasts service their shocks annually or after heavy bashing seasons.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas spare parts manufactured to the highest quality standards by Traxxas themselves. Choosing genuine parts ensures proper fitment, maintains your warranty coverage, and guarantees the reliability and performance standards you expect from the Traxxas brand.
