Overview
The Traxxas Shock Mounts, Dual, Front & Rear (Left & Right, Upper & Lower) TRX9831 are essential replacement parts for maintaining your TRX-4MT monster truck. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running the latest brushless RC monster trucks or a weekend basher looking to keep your vehicle in peak condition, these dual shock mounts provide the perfect solution for wear and tear replacement. As an authorised Traxxas dealer in the UK, RC Model Shop stocks genuine replacement parts that ensure your RC crawler or monster truck performs at its best.
These shock mounts are specifically engineered for the TRX-4MT series of monster trucks, including the K10 and F150 models available in multiple colours. If you've experienced damage to your existing shock mounts or simply need spares for maintenance, these genuine Traxxas components will restore your vehicle's suspension geometry and handling characteristics. The comprehensive package includes all necessary hardware, making installation straightforward for both experienced RC car enthusiasts and those new to RC vehicle maintenance.
Shock mounts are critical suspension components that directly affect how your RC monster truck handles corners, absorbs impacts, and maintains stability during aggressive off-road driving. By keeping genuine Traxxas replacement parts in stock, RC Model Shop ensures that UK-based RC hobbyists can maintain their vehicles without compromise. Whether you're preparing for competitive racing, casual bashing, or simply maintaining your collection of ready-to-run RC vehicles, having quality replacement shock mounts on hand is essential.
Key Features
- Dual Configuration — These shock mounts provide both front and rear coverage, meaning you receive a complete suspension mounting solution in a single purchase rather than needing to buy separate front and rear kits. This comprehensive approach saves money and ensures matched performance throughout your vehicle's suspension system.
- Complete Left & Right Positioning — The package includes left and right side mounts, providing symmetrical suspension support across the entire width of your RC monster truck. This ensures balanced handling characteristics and prevents the vehicle from leaning excessively during cornering or traversing uneven terrain.
- Upper & Lower Mount Pairs — By including both upper and lower shock mounts, these parts allow you to fully service your suspension system regardless of which mounting points have experienced wear or damage. This dual-level approach means comprehensive coverage for the most demanding RC driving conditions.
- Genuine Traxxas Components — As factory original parts from Traxxas, these shock mounts are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured to the highest standards of quality control. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment and consistent performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
- Complete Hardware Included — Rather than just providing the mounts themselves, this kit includes all necessary fasteners and hardware required for installation. You won't need to hunt down separate screws, washers, or clips, making the replacement process faster and more convenient.
- Easy Installation — Designed to bolt directly onto your TRX-4MT without modification, these shock mounts are straightforward to fit. Experienced RC mechanics and newcomers alike will find the installation process logical and efficient, requiring only basic tools typically found in any RC toolkit.
Technical Performance
Shock mounts represent critical suspension engineering in modern RC vehicles, particularly in demanding 1/10 scale monster truck platforms like the TRX-4MT. These components serve to anchor your shock absorbers securely whilst maintaining precise geometric alignment that directly impacts suspension performance. The TRX9831 mounts are manufactured from durable materials designed to withstand the significant forces generated during hard driving, whether you're smashing through obstacles, launching over jumps, or powering through technical rock-crawling sections. The front and rear configurations account for the different suspension geometries required at each end of the vehicle, with the upper and lower mounts working together to maintain consistent shock positioning throughout the full range of suspension travel. In UK RC circles, where weather conditions and rough terrain demand robust components, genuine Traxxas shock mounts represent the gold standard for reliability. The inclusion of all mounting hardware means you have everything required to perform a complete suspension overhaul without additional purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock mounts compatible with my TRX-4MT monster truck? — Yes, these TRX9831 mounts are specifically designed for the Traxxas TRX-4MT monster truck series, including the K10 (available in red and black) and the F150 (available in black and blue) models. If you own any TRX-4MT variant, these parts will fit perfectly.
- Do I need to buy front and rear mounts separately? — No, the TRX9831 is a comprehensive dual package that includes both front and rear shock mounts in a single purchase. This saves money compared to buying separate kits and ensures you have matching replacement parts throughout your suspension system.
- What tools do I need to install these shock mounts? — These mounts are designed for straightforward installation using basic RC hobby tools. You'll typically need a hex wrench set (the sizes required are standard metric sizes like 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm), and possibly a Phillips or flat-head screwdriver depending on your specific mounting configuration. A workbench or RC car stand makes installation easier and safer.
- How often should I replace my shock mounts? — The lifespan of shock mounts depends heavily on your driving style and conditions. Aggressive bashing, racing, or rock-crawling will wear mounts faster than casual driving. Inspect them regularly for cracks or looseness. If you notice your vehicle handling differently, pulling to one side, or if mounts visibly flex excessively, replacement is recommended. Many experienced RC enthusiasts keep spare mounts on hand for quick trackside replacements during events.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX9831 is manufactured by Traxxas and represents genuine factory replacement parts. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only authentic components that come with Traxxas quality assurance and manufacturing standards. When you purchase through RC Model Shop, you receive genuine parts, not counterfeit or third-party alternatives.
- Will these improve my monster truck's performance? — Shock mounts don't directly increase speed or power, but they're essential for maintaining optimal suspension performance. Worn or damaged mounts cause poor handling, reduce shock effectiveness, and can damage other suspension components. Fresh mounts restore your vehicle's intended handling characteristics, making your driving experience more predictable and enjoyable across all terrain types.
- Can I use these on other Traxxas models? — These mounts are specifically engineered for the TRX-4MT series. Different Traxxas models have different suspension geometries and mounting points. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's documentation before purchasing. Other Traxxas models like the Slash, Stampede, Rustler, or standard TRX-4 variants use different mount specifications.
