Overview

Take your TRX-4M to the next level with big-truck suspension technology. The Traxxas Shocks, GTM, 6061-T6 aluminium (Dark Titanium-anodised) represent a significant upgrade for any serious RC trail truck enthusiast in the UK. Whether you're piloting a Ford Bronco or Land Rover Defender 1/18 scale model, these heavy-duty GTM shocks deliver the kind of performance and durability that separates weekend bashers from dedicated RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and smooth suspension travel.

Heavy-duty GTM shocks are engineered from tough 6061-T6 aluminium and anodised with a brilliant dark titanium finish that not only looks stunning but also provides superior corrosion resistance and durability. This is genuine suspension technology borrowed from full-size off-road trucks, scaled down perfectly for your TRX-4M. If you're searching for the best RC car suspension upgrades UK has to offer, these shocks deliver professional-grade damping performance that makes a noticeable difference in how your model handles challenging terrain.

These fully assembled shocks come ready to install, complete with pre-load spacers to fine-tune your suspension geometry exactly as you need it. Springs are sold separately, giving you complete flexibility to dial in your suspension setup for your specific driving style and terrain. Whether you're tackling rocky trails, muddy terrain, or technical rock crawling courses, these premium shocks provide the consistent damping and reliability that dedicated RC enthusiasts expect.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These shocks are manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most widely respected aerospace and automotive-grade aluminium alloys available, ensuring exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and long-lasting durability for serious RC trail trucks.
• Dark Titanium Anodised Finish — The brilliant dark titanium anodising not only provides a striking aesthetic appearance but also offers superior protection against corrosion, oxidation and the wear and tear of regular use in wet, muddy and challenging off-road conditions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas GTM shocks represent the pinnacle of 1/18 scale suspension technology, engineered from premium 6061-T6 aluminium that offers exceptional durability and lightweight strength. The dark titanium anodised finish provides a stunning aesthetic while delivering superior corrosion resistance essential for off-road RC use. These fully assembled shocks are precision-manufactured to deliver consistent damping performance across varied terrain, from technical rock crawling to high-speed trail driving. The inclusion of pre-load spacers allows fine adjustment of suspension geometry without requiring additional components or modifications. Each shock is individually tuned to provide balanced performance across all four corners of your TRX-4M platform, whether equipped with a Ford Bronco or Land Rover Defender body. The professional-grade construction ensures that damping remains consistent session after session, maintaining optimal suspension travel and chassis control. Unlike budget suspension components, these GTM shocks deliver the reliability expected by dedicated RC enthusiasts who demand performance that matches the quality of their vehicles. The modular spring design means that spring rates can be selected independently to optimise your specific setup, making these shocks suitable for everything from casual trail driving to competitive rock crawling events.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What TRX-4M models are compatible with these GTM shocks? — These shocks are specifically designed for the Traxxas TRX-4M platform and are compatible with the entire TRX-4M range including the Ford Bronco 1/18 RTR (available in Blue, Red, Orange, Black, White and Area 51 colours) and the Land Rover Defender 1/18 RTR (available in Green, Light Blue, Pink, Silver, Tan and Black finishes). If you own any version of the TRX-4M, these shocks will upgrade your suspension system.
• Why do the springs come separately? — Traxxas sells the springs separately to give experienced RC enthusiasts the flexibility to choose spring rates that perfectly match their driving style, vehicle weight, and terrain preference. This modularity means you can optimise your suspension setup rather than being locked into a factory configuration, allowing competitive drivers and serious hobbyists to dial in their vehicles precisely.
• What are the benefits of upgrading to GTM shocks? — The GTM shocks represent a significant upgrade from standard suspension components, offering smoother suspension travel, improved chassis control, and enhanced reliability through their premium 6061-T6 aluminium construction and professional damping characteristics. If you regularly drive your TRX-4M on technical terrain or want noticeably improved handling, these shocks deliver measurable performance improvements.
• Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — While these are professional-grade components excellent for any RC enthusiast, beginners should be aware that suspension tuning and spring selection require some knowledge to optimise performance. However, the shocks are straightforward to install on TRX-4M models, making the physical upgrade simple even for newer RC hobbyists who may want to learn suspension tuning as their skills develop.
• What makes the dark titanium anodising important? — The dark titanium anodising serves dual purposes: it provides a stunning visual appearance that clearly identifies these as premium components, and it offers essential protection against corrosion and oxidation when driving in wet, muddy or damp conditions common in UK trail driving and rock crawling.
• Are these shocks sold assembled? — Yes, these GTM shocks arrive fully assembled and ready to install directly onto your TRX-4M, eliminating build time and allowing you to upgrade your suspension quickly. They come with all pre-load spacers needed for suspension geometry adjustment.
• Where should I buy replacement springs? — Springs are sold separately from Traxxas and other RC retailers. Consult your TRX-4M manual or speak with experienced RC enthusiasts about spring rates suitable for your driving style and terrain preferences before purchasing.
• How do pre-load spacers work? — Pre-load spacers sit at the top of the shock and adjust how much the spring is compressed before the vehicle's weight is applied. By adding or removing spacers, you can fine-tune your ride height and suspension geometry without purchasing different springs, giving experienced drivers excellent adjustment flexibility.
