Key Features

• 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — This component is machined from solid 7075-T6 billet aluminium, one of the strongest and most expensive aluminium alloys available in the world. This premium material choice means the shock tower will resist bending, cracking and permanent deformation far better than standard or lower-grade aluminium alternatives, giving you years of reliable performance even under extreme bashing conditions.
• Milled from Solid Billet — Rather than being cast or stamped, this shock tower is precision-milled from solid 7075-T6 billet stock. This manufacturing process results in superior structural integrity and eliminates porosity and weak points that can develop during casting, ensuring consistent quality and maximum durability.
• Green Anodised Finish — The green anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, oxidation and weather damage, helping to keep your RC car UK-resistant to the elements and maintaining its appearance over time.
• Beveled Edges with Two-Tone Look — The shock tower features professionally beveled edges that create a stylish two-tone appearance. This is not merely cosmetic; beveled edges reduce stress concentration points that can develop at sharp corners, improving the structural performance of the component while giving it a premium, finished appearance.
• Laser-Etched Logo — A laser-etched Traxxas logo is applied to the shock tower for maximum visual impact and brand authenticity. This precise marking process ensures the logo won't fade, chip or wear off, maintaining the professional appearance of your upgrade indefinitely.
• Perfect Factory Fit — As a genuine Traxxas part designed specifically for the Sledge, this shock tower requires zero modifications to install. It bolts directly onto your truck with perfect alignment and fitment, saving you time and ensuring optimal performance without the risk of fitment issues or damage that can occur with non-genuine alternatives.
• Compatible with All Sledge Variants — This front shock tower is designed to fit all Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck models regardless of colour, including the blue, orange, green and red variants, making it a versatile upgrade option for any Sledge owner.

Technical Performance

This front shock tower represents the pinnacle of RC component engineering, utilising 7075-T6 aluminium which is renowned throughout the aerospace and motorsport industries for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance. The billet machining process ensures that the material properties are uniform throughout the component, with no casting defects or weak points. The anodised finish provides protection against corrosion and extends the service life of the component, particularly important for RC car owners in the UK who may operate their vehicles in wet or coastal conditions. The beveled edges serve a dual purpose: they reduce stress concentration at corners where failures typically initiate, and they create an attractive two-tone aesthetic that catches light beautifully. For Sledge owners pushing their 1/8 scale brushless monster trucks to the limit, whether on bumpy terrain, high-speed runs or competitive racing circuits, this shock tower upgrade will provide the structural integrity and durability needed to keep your truck running reliably. The precision laser-etched Traxxas logo adds a professional touch that distinguishes genuine Traxxas components from aftermarket alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this front shock tower fit my Traxxas Sledge? — Yes, this shock tower is designed specifically for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1/8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck and is compatible with all colour variants including blue, orange, green and red models. As a genuine Traxxas accessory, it requires no modifications to install and provides perfect factory fit every time.
• Why is 7075-T6 aluminium better than standard aluminium for RC parts? — 7075-T6 is one of the strongest and most expensive aluminium alloys available, offering significantly higher strength and fatigue resistance compared to standard aluminium or lower-grade alternatives. This means your shock tower will resist bending, cracking and permanent deformation far better, particularly important when you're regularly pushing your brushless RC monster truck to its limits on rough terrain or in competitive racing situations.
• Is this a complete shock tower assembly or just the frame? — This is the shock tower frame component itself. Depending on what you already have installed on your Sledge, you may need to transfer existing shock components (such as shocks, springs and fasteners) from your old tower to this new one, or purchase those items separately if upgrading your suspension setup.
• What is the benefit of the anodised finish? — The green anodised coating serves multiple purposes: it provides aesthetic appeal with an attractive two-tone appearance created by beveled edges, it offers protection against corrosion and oxidation which is particularly valuable for RC owners in the UK where weather conditions can be variable, and it helps preserve the appearance of your upgrade over extended use and storage periods.
• Can I use this shock tower with non-Traxxas parts? — This shock tower is specifically engineered for the Traxxas Sledge and designed to work with genuine Traxxas components. While some compatibility with quality aftermarket parts may be possible, Traxxas recommends using genuine Traxxas accessories to guarantee perfect fit and optimal performance without modifications.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This component is suitable for any Sledge owner, whether beginner or experienced, who wants to upgrade their front suspension with a premium, durable option. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC maintenance, and the upgrade will provide immediate benefits in terms of durability and reliability.
