Traxxas Shocks, GTR, 139mm, Silver aluminium (fully assembled without springs) (Rear, threaded) (2 pcs) TRX8460

Overview

The Traxxas Shocks, GTR, 139mm, Silver aluminium (fully assembled without springs) (Rear, threaded) (2 pcs) TRX8460 represent a premium suspension upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts tackling demanding desert terrain. These oil-filled long-travel shock absorbers are engineered specifically for the Traxxas UDR (Unlimited Desert Racer) platform, delivering the refined damping performance needed to conquer rough, challenging landscapes. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or an experienced basher who demands the best from your equipment, these GTR shocks are designed to transform how your RC short course truck handles extreme conditions.

Built from high-quality silver aluminium and fully assembled with silicone oil, these shocks arrive ready to install on your UDR platform. The rear-specific design with threaded bodies ensures compatibility with your existing setup whilst offering the flexibility to fine-tune ride height adjustments precisely. Available in a pair (2 pcs), these shocks address the rear suspension needs of your vehicle, delivering silky-smooth damping that absorbs impacts and maintains consistent traction across unpredictable terrain.

For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking genuine Traxxas suspension parts that deliver measurable performance improvements, this shock assembly offers reliability backed by Traxxas engineering excellence. The combination of aluminium construction, oil-filled damping, and threaded adjustment collar makes these shocks a smart investment for anyone serious about maximising their RC vehicle's capability on rough ground.

Key Features

• Oil-filled damping system — The shocks are filled with silicone oil that provides smooth, consistent damping characteristics across the full range of suspension travel, ensuring your RC vehicle maintains traction and stability when traversing rough desert terrain and unpredictable ground conditions.
• 139mm long-travel design — The generous 139mm length provides extended suspension travel that absorbs large impacts and obstacles without bottoming out, allowing your RC short course truck to maintain control and momentum through challenging terrain.
• Silver aluminium construction — The aluminium shock bodies offer an excellent balance of lightweight construction and durability, reducing unsprung weight whilst maintaining structural integrity under demanding driving conditions.
• Threaded bodies for ride height adjustment — The threaded design works with the spring retaining collar to enable precise ride height adjustments without disassembly, allowing you to tune suspension geometry quickly to match different driving conditions and track layouts.
• Fully assembled with silicone oil — These shocks arrive ready to install straight from the box, pre-filled with quality silicone oil so you can spend less time on assembly and more time enjoying your RC experience.
• Rear-specific fitment — Engineered specifically for rear suspension installation on compatible Traxxas UDR platforms, these shocks integrate seamlessly with your existing chassis setup.
• Pair of two shocks — The package includes two complete shock units, providing both rear suspension points your RC vehicle requires for balanced handling.
• Springs sold separately — This assembly gives you flexibility to select springs matched to your driving style and terrain, allowing customisation of suspension stiffness and ride characteristics.

Technical Performance

The GTR shock system represents Traxxas engineering at its finest, combining proven damping technologies with premium materials to deliver exceptional real-world performance. At 139mm in length, these long-travel shocks provide the suspension articulation necessary for high-speed desert running whilst maintaining stability across rough, technical terrain. The oil-filled design creates a progressive damping curve that responds smoothly to varying impact loads—light bumps receive gentle resistance whilst large impacts trigger firmer damping to prevent bottoming. The aluminium construction keeps unsprung weight to a minimum, improving responsiveness and reducing the energy required to compress and extend the suspension. The threaded shock bodies, compatible with standard spring retaining collars, allow ride height adjustments without tools, making track-side tuning practical and straightforward. Built to Traxxas standards for durability and performance, these shocks are engineered to survive repeated heavy impacts whilst maintaining consistent damping characteristics throughout their operating range. The silicone oil fill provides consistent performance across temperature variations, ensuring your RC vehicle responds predictably whether you're running in cool morning conditions or warm afternoon heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these shocks compatible with my Traxxas UDR? — Yes, these GTR shocks are designed specifically for Traxxas UDR Unlimited Desert Racer Pro-Scale 4WD RTR short course trucks, including both the Rigid Industries (TRX85086-4-RGD1) and Fox Racing (TRX85086-4-FOX1) versions. They are rear suspension components, so ensure you are upgrading the rear shocks rather than the front.
• Do these shocks come with springs? — No, these shocks are sold fully assembled without springs. Springs are supplied separately, which gives you the flexibility to select damper rates matched to your specific driving style, vehicle weight, and terrain. This modularity is a key advantage for RC enthusiasts who want to fine-tune their suspension setup.
• What size are these shocks? — The GTR shocks measure 139mm in length, providing long-travel suspension geometry designed for high-speed desert running and extreme off-road conditions typical of short course truck racing.
• Can I adjust ride height on these shocks? — Yes, the threaded shock bodies work with the spring retaining collar to allow easy ride height adjustments. This threaded design enables you to change ride height without disassembling the shock, making track-side tuning straightforward and practical for UK RC enthusiasts.
• What oil is inside these shocks? — The shocks are pre-filled with silicone oil, which provides smooth damping characteristics and is suitable for most RC driving conditions. The silicone oil maintains consistent performance across temperature variations.
• How many shocks are included? — This package contains two complete shock units, which cover both rear suspension points on your Traxxas UDR short course truck.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — These are replacement/upgrade shock units rather than beginner-level products. They are best suited to RC enthusiasts who already own a compatible Traxxas UDR platform and understand suspension tuning concepts. If you are new to RC vehicles in the UK, start with a complete ready-to-run system first.
• What is the difference between GTR shocks and standard Traxxas shocks? — GTR shocks are Traxxas's performance-oriented shock design featuring oil-filled damping, extended 139mm travel, and threaded bodies for easy adjustment. They are engineered specifically for high-speed desert racing and demanding off-road terrain, making them ideal for more experienced RC enthusiasts seeking improved performance over stock components.
• Where can I use these shocks? — The 139mm long-travel design makes these shocks ideal for desert racing, rough terrain bashing, and any situation where extended suspension articulation helps maintain traction and control. They excel on rocky ground, sand, dirt tracks, and uneven natural terrain.
