Aluminium adjustable shocks for X‑MAXX

These aluminium spring shocks are an RC-scale upgrade designed for TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX variants. The shock bodies use a piggyback L‑shape reservoir to retain more damping oil through the travel range, and the seals follow an anti-leak layout intended for more consistent damping during long runs.

The shock shafts are thicker stainless steel at 7mm for added stiffness where the piston rides, and the kit includes two coil spring options to tune ride height and initial rate: 2.6mm (green) and 2.8mm (orange). Small components are precision made and the units are manually assembled to ensure fit and finish expected for aftermarket suspension parts.

In practical tuning terms these shocks change three controllable areas: effective oil volume (via the piggyback), shaft rigidity (7mm stainless shaft), and spring rate (provided dual springs). That combination helps when adjusting responsiveness, body roll, and compression behavior on large-scale X-MAXX setups listed below.

Compatible Models

  • TRAXXAS-1/5 4WD X-MAXX 6S
  • TRAXXAS-1/5 ELECTRIC 4WD X-MAXX 8S MONSTER TRUCK

Use these shocks as direct upgrade components for the listed TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX models to refine suspension response and allow straightforward spring tuning for different track or terrain conditions.

Are these shocks direct replacements for the listed X-MAXX models?

They are designed for the listed TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX models, but check mounting dimensions and hardware on your vehicle before final fitment.

What springs are included with the shocks?

The package includes two coil spring types: 2.6mm (green) and 2.8mm (orange) for basic rate tuning.

What is the shock shaft material and size?

The shafts are described as 7mm stainless steel to increase rigidity and wear resistance compared with thinner shafts.

Any maintenance tips for these shocks?

Regularly inspect seals for wear, keep oil levels correct, and clean the piggyback area to prevent grit from affecting damping performance.

What tools are needed for installation and tuning?

Basic hand tools such as hex drivers, a shock oil fill setup, and a small vise or shock stand for assembly and bleeding are useful for installation and setup.
