For anyone serious about RC car performance in the UK, whether competing in organised events or simply enjoying high-performance driving, these GTR XX-long shocks offer genuine value and measurable improvements in handling.
Key Features
- PTFE-Coated Shock Bodies — The brilliantly-anodised aluminium shock bodies feature a premium PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating that provides the slickest damping action available, significantly reducing friction and ensuring smooth, consistent suspension response throughout every drive session.
- Titanium-Nitride Coated Shafts — The slick titanium-nitride coated shafts resist scuffing and increase durability compared to standard shafts, whilst simultaneously eliminating the annoying stiction that can compromise handling feel and response in lesser quality shocks.
- Large 13mm Bore Design — These shocks feature 13mm bores that hold over 70% more oil than the standard Traxxas Ultra Shocks, providing superior damping capacity and allowing for more precise tuning to match your specific driving style and track conditions.
- X-Ring Seals — Advanced X-ring seal technology keeps shock oil securely contained whilst simultaneously blocking dirt and moisture from entering the shock body, ensuring smooth and consistent damping performance across multiple driving sessions without maintenance-related performance degradation.
- Threaded Spring Collar Design — Spring preload and ride height adjustments are as simple as turning the threaded spring collars, allowing quick and easy tuning without requiring special tools or disassembly of the shock assembly.
- Locking Screw on Spring Retainers — The lower spring retainers feature an integrated locking screw that prevents annoying spring pop-off in the middle of your run, ensuring consistent performance even during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
- Included Shock Oil — Each pair comes pre-filled with premium 30-weight pure silicone shock oil, so you're ready to install and drive right out of the box without additional purchases.
- Fully Assembled — These shocks arrive fully assembled and ready to install, saving you time and ensuring professional-quality assembly that maintains the precision engineering these components demand.
Technical Performance
Built to the exacting standards you'd expect from Traxxas, a recognised leader in high-performance RC vehicle suspension, these GTR XX-long shocks represent a significant step up from standard suspension offerings. The combination of PTFE-coated aluminium bodies, titanium-nitride treated shafts, and expanded 13mm bore capacity creates a suspension system capable of delivering measurably superior performance in terms of damping consistency, responsiveness, and longevity. The engineering approach throughout the shock design focuses on eliminating friction through advanced coating technologies whilst maintaining reliable sealing through X-ring technology that outperforms traditional O-ring designs. The 30-weight pure silicone shock oil included with each pair is specifically formulated to work optimally with these shock characteristics, providing the right viscosity and flow characteristics for responsive yet controlled suspension action. Whether you're campaigning a Traxxas Rustler 4X4 Ultimate, a Slash 4X4 VXL, or any of the compatible models, these shocks will deliver noticeably improved handling, more consistent lap times, and enhanced durability that translates to lower maintenance costs and more time driving rather than servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models are these Traxxas GTR XX-long shocks compatible with? — These shocks are a replacement part for the Traxxas Rustler 4X4 Ultimate and Slash Modified, and an accessory part for numerous other Traxxas 4WD models including the Ford F-150 Raptor R 4X4, Rustler 4X4, Slash 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4, Slash 4X4 Brushless, Slash 4X4 VXL, Stampede 4X4 VXL, Hoss 4X4 VXL, Rustler 4X4 Brushless, Rustler 4X4 VXL, Slash 4X4 Ultimate, Slash 4X4 Ultimate, and Stampede 4X4 Brushless. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- Do I need to buy springs separately for these shocks? — Yes, springs are sold separately from these shock assemblies. You'll need to purchase compatible shock springs in the appropriate rates for your driving style and vehicle setup. The threaded spring collars allow you to adjust preload and ride height once you have the springs installed.
- What makes these shocks better than standard Traxxas shocks? — These GTR XX-long shocks offer several significant advantages over standard Ultra Shocks: the 13mm bore holds over 70% more oil for superior damping capacity, the PTFE-coated bodies provide the slickest damping action available, the titanium-nitride coated shafts resist scuffing and eliminate stiction, and the X-ring seals provide better dirt exclusion than traditional designs. Together, these features deliver noticeably smoother suspension action and more consistent performance.
- Are these shocks suitable for competitive RC racing? — Absolutely. These XX-long GTR shocks are designed specifically with high-performance applications in mind and are used by serious competitive racers across the UK. The precision engineering, premium materials, and advanced damping characteristics make them an excellent choice for anyone looking to optimise their vehicle's handling and suspension performance.
- How do I adjust ride height on these shocks? — Ride height adjustments are incredibly straightforward thanks to the threaded spring collars. Simply turn the collars to increase or decrease ride height as needed for your track conditions or driving preferences. No special tools or shock disassembly is required, making it easy to dial in the perfect setup in minutes.
- What shock oil is included with these shocks? — Each pair comes pre-filled with 30-weight pure silicone shock oil, which is specifically formulated to work optimally with these shock characteristics. The pure silicone formulation provides excellent flow characteristics whilst maintaining consistent viscosity across temperature ranges typically encountered during RC driving.
- Can I replace just one shock if it gets damaged? — These shocks are sold as a pair (two shocks), so you'll receive two complete shock assemblies. If one shock requires service or replacement, you can purchase an additional pair or contact Traxxas for individual replacement options.
