Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These shocks are engineered from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers an optimal balance of strength and weight savings compared to standard materials, ensuring your suspension components won't flex or bend under stress whilst remaining as lightweight as possible for better overall vehicle dynamics.

Technical Performance
These Traxxas GTM shocks represent a significant engineering achievement in the 1/18 scale RC crawler category. The use of 6061-T6 aluminium provides the ideal material specification for suspension components, delivering the strength required to handle aggressive driving and technical terrain whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for optimal vehicle balance and responsiveness. The red-anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic—it's a protective layer that guards against corrosion and wear, ensuring these shocks maintain their appearance and structural integrity through countless hours of outdoor use and exposure to moisture and dirt. The fully assembled design means every shock leaves the Traxxas factory as a precision-engineered damper ready to perform immediately, with professional internal tuning that benefits from decades of suspension development expertise. The inclusion of pre-load spacers with each set allows for suspension geometry adjustments that can dramatically alter how your TRX-4M handles different terrain types, from smooth hardpack to rough rocky obstacles. The heavy-duty GTM design philosophy means these shocks are engineered for durability and consistent performance, whether you're enjoying casual backyard bashing or pushing your crawler to its limits on technical trails. The fact that springs are sold separately reflects Traxxas's approach to allowing customisation—different spring rates will produce different suspension characteristics, allowing you to dial in the exact feel you want from your setup. This is a suspension component engineered for reliability, performance, and longevity, backed by Traxxas's reputation for quality in the RC market.
