TRAXXAS RUSTLER VXL Front & Rear Aluminum Shocks, #45 Steel Axle and Spring Steel Hex 64pcs by GPM RUS4758077SA  [RUS4758077SA]

Low-CG shock and axle upgrade for Traxxas

This GPM 64pcs upgrade kit groups front and rear aluminum shocks, hardened #45 steel axle components and spring-steel hex wideners to change ride height and track width on Traxxas RUSTLER and Slash platforms. The package focuses on lowering centre of gravity, shortening shock length, and widening wheel track to improve chassis stability during cornering and high-speed runs on 1/10 scale off-road layouts.

Key adjustable elements are the shock top screw and interchangeable springs, allowing you to tune spring preload and compressive feel without additional tools. The front shocks are shortened to 75mm and rear shocks to 80mm to achieve lower ride height; gold and silver springs use different coil wire diameters listed in the included parts to vary stiffness. CVD assemblies combine hardened #45 steel components with 6061-T6 aluminum housings for strength where driveshafts and wheel joints need it most.

Installation notes: when fitting to Slash bodies lowered by this kit, the shell may contact the tyres; use the supplied aluminum collars between body posts and shock mounts to change shock angle and support the shell. Suggested collar stacks from the source indicate using front 8mm with rear 12mm at maximum body height, and front 12mm with rear 16mm at minimum body height to maintain clearance.

This GPM kit is a focused aftermarket option for lowering CG and stiffening the suspension path on 1/10 Traxxas RUSTLER and Slash variants, useful for drivers who want a denser spring mix, shortened shock geometry, and a slightly wider track for improved lateral stability.
