Technical Performance
The Traxxas Shock caps are constructed from premium anodised aluminium, a material selected for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The blue anodised finish not only provides outstanding visual appeal but also offers superior protection against wear and environmental exposure. These shock caps are engineered with precision tolerances to ensure they fit perfectly on GT-Maxx shocks, which are found on a range of Traxxas vehicles including the Maxx Slash 1/8 scale 4WD brushless short course trucks and the WideMaxx monster truck range. The inclusion of spacers in this package ensures proper installation and optimal shock geometry. The machined construction maintains tight fitment even under the stresses of repeated jumps, high-speed cornering and aggressive bashing. Aluminium's natural damping properties and excellent thermal conductivity mean these caps help manage heat dissipation from the shocks whilst the precision fit ensures zero play or movement that could affect suspension performance. Whether you're running your RC vehicle on the track or bashing across rough terrain, these shock caps maintain their integrity and appearance through countless driving cycles.
