TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 Alloy Front Adjustable Spring Damper by GPM SLA087F  [SLA087F]

Front adjustable spring damper overview

The GPM SLA087F is an alloy front adjustable spring damper sold as a 1pr set designed specifically for TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 chassis. This unit replaces standard front dampers with a machined alloy body, alloy ball top and alloy ball ends, and arrives with three coil spring wire sizes (1.3mm, 1.5mm, 1.7mm) plus a 4mm thick shaft to support stiffer setups.

In practical RC use it serves two purposes: a mechanical replacement that improves component rigidity and a tuning item that lets you tune initial spring rate and damper preload without changing the shock body. The included ball top and ball ends match common linkages used on Slash 4X4 setups, and the multiple spring wire sizes let you adjust front rate for varied surfaces.

Installation is typical of threaded-body style dampers for short-course trucks: remove the original front dampers, transfer or replace lower caps if required, fit the 4mm shaft into the lower mount and secure the ball ends to the suspension links. Check for correct shaft length and travel before final tightening.

For Slash 4X4 owners looking for a stiffer front setup and straightforward spring-rate options, this alloy front damper provides a durable, tunable replacement that integrates with stock linkage geometry and common shock mounting points.
