The compatibility across multiple Traxxas models ensures that this is a versatile spare part worth having in your RC spares box.

Key Features

• X-Long Design — The extended length of this shock body provides increased suspension travel and ground clearance compared to standard shock bodies, which means your vehicle can handle larger bumps, deeper ruts, and more aggressive terrain without bottoming out. This translates to better handling, improved stability, and more consistent performance across varied track conditions and outdoor environments.
• Green Anodised Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from premium anodised aluminium, this shock body is lightweight yet incredibly rigid, which ensures minimal deflection under load and maximum durability. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, oxidation, and the wear caused by dirt, water, and salt, meaning your shocks will maintain their appearance and performance characteristics for longer.
• Genuine Traxxas Engineering — This is an OEM Traxxas replacement part manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring perfect fit, finish, and function with your GT-Maxx platform. You're not getting a cheap aftermarket copy; you're getting the genuine article that Traxxas engineers designed for this vehicle from the ground up.
• Compatible with Multiple Models — This shock body is compatible with the full range of Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car models, including the red, blue, orange, and green variants, making this a versatile spare part for anyone running Traxxas's high-performance sand rail platform.
• Single Shock Body Per Package — Each package contains one shock body, so if you're replacing both front and rear shocks or building a complete new suspension setup, you may need to order multiple units to get your complete set.

Technical Performance

This x-long shock body is engineered as a direct replacement component for the Traxxas GT-Maxx suspension system, which is a critical element of the Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S electric sand rail platform. The GT-Maxx suspension system is renowned for its ability to handle high-speed running, jumps, and technical terrain, and this anodised aluminium shock body is built to perform in those demanding conditions. The x-long specification means you're getting extended suspension geometry compared to standard shock bodies, which provides increased spring and damper travel. This allows the suspension to absorb larger impacts more effectively, reduces harshness transmitted to the chassis and driver, and helps maintain wheel contact with the ground during aggressive manoeuvres and high-speed cornering. The aluminium construction keeps weight to a minimum while the anodising process ensures corrosion resistance, making this shock body suitable for use in varied UK weather conditions, from dry summer tracks to muddy winter terrain. The rigid construction minimises flex and ensures that suspension geometry remains consistent throughout hard driving sessions, which is essential for maintaining predictable handling and maximising the lifespan of other suspension components like springs and dampers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between standard and x-long GT-Maxx shock bodies? — The x-long shock body provides extended suspension travel compared to the standard length specification. This means more vertical movement before bottoming out, which improves your vehicle's ability to handle big jumps, rough terrain, and aggressive bashing. The x-long design is particularly beneficial for sand and dune racing where suspension travel is critical for maintaining speed and control.
• Which Traxxas models is this shock body compatible with? — This shock body is specifically engineered for the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car platform, and it's compatible with all colour variants of this model including red, blue, orange, and green. Always verify your model number before ordering to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.
• Will this shock body fit my existing Traxxas RC vehicle? — This shock body is designed specifically for the GT-Maxx suspension system used in the Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S sand rail. It may not be compatible with other Traxxas platforms without modification. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
• Why is anodised aluminium better than standard aluminium? — Anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This layer provides superior corrosion resistance, protects against oxidation and wear, and makes the component more durable when exposed to dirt, water, mud, and salt. The green anodised finish on this shock body not only looks exceptional but also delivers real performance benefits in terms of longevity and reliability.
• Do I need to replace both front and rear shocks at the same time? — While you can replace shocks individually, for the most consistent handling and performance it's recommended to replace shocks as a set. If you're upgrading from standard to x-long specification, it's best to replace all four shocks (front and rear) to maintain balanced suspension geometry and predictable handling characteristics.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete ready-to-run vehicle, so it's best suited for experienced RC enthusiasts who are comfortable performing suspension work and replacements. If you're new to the hobby and need guidance on installation, our team at RC Model Shop is here to help.
