Overview
The VITAVON CNC Alu7075 Front & Rear Shocks Set 220mm represents premium suspension engineering for serious Traxxas X-MAXX 1/5 scale RC enthusiasts. If you're looking to upgrade your X-MAXX suspension system with high-quality aftermarket components, these aluminium shocks deliver the durability and performance that weekend bashers and competitive RC car UK users demand. Crafted from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium alloy, these precision-engineered shocks are purpose-built to withstand the extreme demands of high-speed running, aggressive off-road terrain, and intense competition use.
Whether you're piloting your X-MAXX through rocky crawler terrain, blasting across open fields, or pushing the limits on demanding courses, suspension is the foundation of handling and control. This VITAVON shock set replaces both front and rear units, ensuring balanced, consistent performance across the entire chassis. The factory-sealed design with premium PMX200 350CST oil means you get straight-out-of-the-box performance without additional preparation or maintenance—simply install and go. These shocks are exclusively designed for Traxxas X-MAXX compatibility, guaranteeing a perfect fit and optimal integration with your model's chassis geometry.
Available in multiple striking colour combinations including all silver, all black, orange and silver, blue and silver, and black and blue options, you can match your X-MAXX's aesthetic while upgrading its suspension performance. This is the upgrade choice for RC drivers who refuse to compromise on quality or reliability.
Key Features
- 7075 Aluminium Alloy Construction — The shocks are machined from high-grade 7075 aluminium alloy, which offers exceptional durability and structural integrity that far exceeds standard shock materials used in budget alternatives. This premium alloy is aerospace-quality, delivering enhanced strength and resistance to deformation under high-stress conditions.
- CNC Precision Engineering — Each shock is manufactured using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, ensuring every component meets exact dimensional tolerances and maintains perfect consistency from unit to unit. This precision manufacturing eliminates variations that can lead to uneven handling or inconsistent performance across the suspension.
- 220mm Eye-to-Eye Length — The precisely engineered 220mm length ensures targeted, seamless assembly integration with your Traxxas X-MAXX chassis geometry, delivering the correct suspension travel and ride height for optimal performance.
- 3.15mm Spring Diameter — This optimised spring diameter provides balanced flexibility and load-bearing capacity, tuning the suspension response to handle both high-speed runs and technical off-road terrain without bottoming out or becoming overly stiff.
- 6mm Shaft Diameter — The reinforced 6mm shaft diameter enhances structural stability during high-intensity use, preventing flex and ensuring consistent dampening characteristics even under extreme cornering forces or impacts.
- Factory-Sealed PMX200 350CST Oil — The shocks arrive pre-filled with premium PMX200 350CST silicone oil at the factory, meaning they're ready for immediate installation without additional preparation, bleeding, or maintenance. This saves setup time and guarantees consistent viscosity from day one.
- Front & Rear Set Included — This package includes both front and rear shock absorbers, allowing you to upgrade your entire suspension system in one purchase for uniform performance across all four corners of your X-MAXX.
- X-MAXX Exclusive Compatibility — These shocks are exclusively designed for Traxxas X-MAXX models only. The tailored dimensions and specifications ensure seamless integration with the X-MAXX chassis, maximising performance in off-road or high-speed scenarios. They are not compatible with Traxxas XRT or other non-X-MAXX platforms.
- Multiple Colour Options — Choose from all silver, all black, orange and silver, blue and silver, or black and blue finishes to match your X-MAXX's bodywork and personal style preferences.
Technical Performance
These VITAVON shocks represent a significant upgrade in suspension engineering and material quality. The 7075 aluminium alloy body is considerably stronger and more resistant to bending or permanent deformation compared to cheaper alternative materials, making these shocks ideal for drivers who run their X-MAXX hard and frequently. The CNC machining process ensures every shock meets precise specifications, eliminating quality variations that plague budget competitors. The 220mm eye-to-eye length is specifically calculated for the X-MAXX 1/5 scale chassis, and when combined with the optimised 3.15mm spring diameter, provides the perfect balance between compliance on rough terrain and responsiveness for high-speed directional changes. The reinforced 6mm shaft diameter prevents unwanted flex during aggressive cornering or impact absorption, maintaining consistent dampening performance throughout extended racing sessions. The pre-filled PMX200 350CST oil is a professional-grade silicone suspension fluid that maintains its viscosity characteristics across a wide temperature range, ensuring your suspension behaves predictably whether you're running in cool UK winters or warm summer conditions. Unlike cheaper shocks that require oil changes and bleeding procedures, these arrive ready to install, saving valuable setup time for drivers in the UK RC community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks compatible with my Traxxas X-MAXX? — Yes, these VITAVON shocks are exclusively designed and engineered for Traxxas X-MAXX 1/5 scale models only. They are not compatible with Traxxas XRT or other non-X-MAXX platforms. The 220mm eye-to-eye length and all specifications are precisely tailored to fit the X-MAXX chassis geometry perfectly.
- Do these shocks come pre-filled with oil? — Absolutely. These shocks arrive factory-sealed and pre-filled with premium PMX200 350CST silicone oil, so they're ready for immediate installation without any additional setup, bleeding, or maintenance procedures.
- What materials are these shocks made from? — The shocks are constructed from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminium alloy, which offers exceptional durability and structural integrity far superior to standard or budget shock materials. This premium alloy resists deformation and delivers enhanced strength for demanding off-road and high-speed use.
- What colour options are available? — These shocks are available in five colour combinations: all silver, all black, orange and silver, blue and silver, or black and blue. You can select the option that best matches your X-MAXX bodywork and personal aesthetic preferences.
- How do these compare to standard X-MAXX shocks? — These VITAVON shocks are premium aftermarket replacements that offer significantly improved durability, precision engineering, and material quality compared to factory stock shocks. The 7075 aluminium construction provides superior strength and resistance to deformation, while the CNC machining ensures perfect dimensional consistency.
