Traxxas Shocks, GTM, 6061-T6 aluminium (Orange-anodised) (fully assembled without springs) (4 pcs) TRX9764-ORNG

Overview

Take your TRX-4M to the next level with premium big-truck suspension technology. The Traxxas Shocks GTM in orange-anodised 6061-T6 aluminium represent a significant upgrade for owners of the TRX-4M Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender 1/18 scale RC trail trucks. Whether you're a serious RC crawler enthusiast in the UK looking to improve handling on challenging terrain, or simply want to enhance your existing TRX-4M setup, these heavy-duty dampers deliver the reliability and performance that Traxxas is renowned for worldwide.

These fully assembled GTM (Get The Most) shocks are engineered to provide smoother suspension travel and long-lasting durability, transforming how your 1/18 RC truck responds to uneven ground, obstacles and demanding trail conditions. The brilliant orange-anodised finish not only looks stunning on your scale model, but the aluminium construction ensures these shocks can withstand the rigours of regular use whilst maintaining their performance characteristics over time. As a dedicated RC car retailer in the UK, we recognise that suspension upgrades are one of the most effective ways to enhance your RC trail truck experience.

Available as a complete set of four shocks, these are professional-grade components designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand the best from their vehicles. The set includes pre-load spacers for fine-tuning your suspension setup, allowing you to customise your truck's handling to suit your preferred driving style and terrain conditions. Springs are sold separately, giving you complete flexibility to match your shock upgrade with the spring rate that works best for your application.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These shocks are manufactured from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which is recognised throughout the RC industry for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability, ensuring your suspension components will perform reliably through countless hours of trail running.
• Orange-Anodised Finish — The brilliant orange-anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and functional corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from weathering and maintaining the shocks' appearance and performance characteristics over extended periods of use.
• Fully Assembled Design — Unlike many aftermarket shock options, these dampers arrive fully assembled and ready to install, saving you valuable setup time and ensuring professional-quality construction straight from the factory.
• Heavy-Duty GTM Shocks — Purpose-built using Traxxas's Get The Most (GTM) shock technology, these dampers are engineered specifically for the demands of 1/18 scale trail trucks, delivering superior suspension performance compared to standard factory shocks.
• Set of Four with Pre-Load Spacers — The package includes all four shocks plus four pre-load spacers, allowing you to adjust suspension geometry and handling characteristics to fine-tune your vehicle's performance on different terrain types.
• Compatible with TRX-4M Models — These shocks are specifically designed as an accessory for the entire TRX-4M range, including the Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender 1/18 RTR variants available in multiple colours.
• Springs Sold Separately — This design philosophy gives you the flexibility to pair your new shocks with spring rates that match your specific driving conditions, whether you prefer stiffer springs for high-speed trail work or softer springs for technical rock crawling.

Technical Performance

These GTM shocks represent a significant engineering achievement in 1/18 scale suspension technology. The use of 6061-T6 aluminium throughout the shock body ensures maximum durability whilst keeping rotational mass low for responsive handling. The fully assembled construction means every internal component—dampers, seals and spring seats—has been precisely engineered and tested by Traxxas before shipment. The pre-load spacers included with each set allow you to adjust compression and rebound characteristics, effectively tuning your TRX-4M's suspension stiffness to match your terrain. Whether navigating tight rocky paths or covering faster trail sections, these shocks absorb impacts efficiently whilst maintaining consistent suspension response. The anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; it provides a protective barrier against moisture and oxidation, critical for vehicles that encounter damp UK weather conditions during outdoor RC sessions. The professional-grade construction ensures minimal fade or performance degradation even after extended use in demanding conditions. For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking to maximise their TRX-4M's potential on trails and technical terrain, this is a genuine factory upgrade that delivers measurable improvements in handling, comfort and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these shocks compatible with my TRX-4M? — Yes, these GTM shocks are specifically designed for all TRX-4M models, including the 1/18 Ford Bronco RTR in all colour variants (Black, White, Area 51, Blue, Red and Orange) and the 1/18 Land Rover Defender RTR in all colours (Silver, Tan, Black, Green, Light Blue and Pink).
• Do I need to buy springs separately? — Yes, springs are sold separately from this shock kit. You will need to purchase compatible springs and install them onto the pre-load spacers included in this set to complete your suspension upgrade.
• What makes these better than factory shocks? — The GTM shocks feature heavier-duty construction, superior damping characteristics and the included pre-load spacers allow precise tuning of your suspension geometry, delivering smoother travel, better ground holding and more predictable handling compared to standard TRX-4M shocks.
• Can I adjust the suspension with these shocks? — Absolutely. The four included pre-load spacers allow you to modify suspension compression and rebound settings, effectively tuning your truck's stiffness to suit different terrain types and your personal driving preferences.
• Are these shocks waterproof? — These are professional-grade RC dampers with sealed construction typical of Traxxas shocks. However, for maximum longevity, we recommend allowing your vehicle to dry thoroughly after wet conditions and performing periodic maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
• Is this a complete suspension kit? — This kit provides the shock dampers and spacers; you will still need to purchase springs separately. Combined with springs, this becomes a complete suspension upgrade that transforms your TRX-4M's handling characteristics.
