When you choose Traxxas spares for your RC car UK setup, you're choosing proven engineering and reliability that serious competitors depend on.
Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas Manufacturing — These front shock reservoirs are produced by Traxxas to the exact original specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance matching with your sand car's suspension geometry and damping characteristics.
- Set of Two Front Reservoirs — This package contains both left and right front shock reservoirs, allowing you to replace your complete front suspension damping system in one purchase rather than buying individual components.
- Included Ball Cup Screws — The package includes two 3x8mm Ball Cup Screw fasteners (BCS), which are the critical connectors that attach the reservoirs to your suspension linkage and ensure secure, rattle-free operation.
- Professional Grey Finish — The grey colour scheme matches the aesthetic of the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale sand car range, maintaining the vehicle's visual continuity and professional appearance.
- Optimised for Sand Car Performance — These reservoirs are specifically designed for the demands of sand car racing, where suspension articulation and shock absorption are critical for maintaining traction and control across unpredictable terrain.
- Quick and Easy Installation — Replacement is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience, allowing you to minimise downtime between races or practice sessions.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas front shock reservoirs represent precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of the Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car platform. These suspension components work in concert with your vehicle's damping system to absorb impact energy, maintain consistent ride height, and provide the suspension compliance necessary for sand car racing. The grey reservoirs are constructed from durable materials engineered to withstand the intense forces experienced during high-speed sand car operation, where suspension articulation and shock absorption directly impact lap times and vehicle control. The inclusion of matching 3x8mm Ball Cup Screw fasteners ensures that installation is precise and secure, with no risk of loose connections that could compromise suspension geometry or create unwanted chassis noise. These components are essential maintenance items for any serious sand car racer in the UK RC community, particularly those competing in organised events where equipment consistency between races is critical for reliable performance benchmarking.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Traxxas front shock reservoirs compatible with? — These front shock reservoirs are designed specifically for the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car range, available in orange, green, red and blue colour variants. They are not compatible with other Traxxas models unless they share the identical suspension geometry.
- Why would I need replacement front shock reservoirs? — During normal sand car racing and bashing, shock reservoirs can become damaged from impacts, leaks from seals degrading over time, or simply wear from repeated suspension articulation cycles. Maintaining spare reservoirs ensures you can quickly restore your vehicle to racing condition.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are authentic Traxxas manufactured components, not third-party alternatives. Using genuine Traxxas spares ensures perfect fitment and maintains the performance standards your sand car was engineered to deliver.
- How difficult is it to replace the front shock reservoirs? — Replacement is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. You'll need standard hex tools and approximately 15-20 minutes to complete the job on both reservoirs, though we recommend consulting your vehicle manual for specific torque specifications.
- What are the 3x8mm Ball Cup Screws used for? — The Ball Cup Screws are the fasteners that connect the shock reservoirs to your suspension linkage, allowing proper articulation whilst maintaining secure attachment. These are wear items that should be inspected regularly.
- Is this a spare part only or is it a complete kit? — This is a genuine spare part package containing two front shock reservoirs and matching fasteners. It does not include the shock absorbers themselves or other suspension components — it is specifically a replacement reservoir set.
