Key Features
- Anodised Aluminium Construction — The shock caps are manufactured from premium aluminium that has been anodised in a vibrant blue finish, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to painted alternatives, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance through countless bashing sessions and varying UK weather conditions.
- Set of Four Caps — This product includes four shock caps, providing complete coverage for all four shocks on your Traxxas Sledge, maintaining consistent styling and protection across your entire suspension system.
- Included Spacers — Four spacers are included with this set, which work in conjunction with the shock caps to ensure proper fitment, correct shock travel and optimal suspension geometry on your GT-Maxx shocks.
- GT-Maxx Shock Compatibility — These caps are specifically engineered to fit Traxxas GT-Maxx shocks, the premium shock system found on the Sledge, guaranteeing perfect fitment without modification or compatibility issues.
- Strength and Style Enhancement — The aluminium construction adds genuine structural strength to your GT-Maxx shocks whilst simultaneously elevating the visual impact of your RC monster truck, making this both a functional upgrade and an aesthetic customisation.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Shock caps, aluminium (Blue-anodised), GT-Maxx shocks represent a sophisticated suspension accessory that combines materials science with precision engineering. The anodised aluminium construction provides a material that is both lightweight and extraordinarily strong, allowing you to increase the durability of your GT-Maxx shocks without adding significant weight to your Sledge. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion from moisture, dirt and salt — particularly important for RC enthusiasts in the UK where damp conditions are common. The blue-anodised finish is applied to a consistent standard across all four caps, ensuring uniform aesthetics across your suspension system. The included spacers are precision-engineered to work with the shock caps, ensuring they interface correctly with your GT-Maxx shocks and maintaining the precise suspension geometry that makes the Sledge one of the most capable 1:8 scale monster trucks available. These caps work with the GT-Maxx shock system found on the Traxxas Sledge, a vehicle famous for its extreme performance capabilities, durable construction and impressive off-road abilities. The shock caps protect the internal components of your shocks from impact, debris and the elements whilst also providing the visual upgrade that transforms the appearance of your RC monster truck.
