7075-T6 Alloy Shock Caps
These aftermarket shock caps are made for TRAXXAS Unlimited Desert Racer platforms and focus on durable material and practical serviceability. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, the caps replace the factory top caps and are designed to work with stock shock bodies and GPM aftermarket shocks.
Design highlights include integrated bladders to improve sealing and longevity, a bleeder hole to ease pressure adjustments and fluid maintenance, and a pivot ball interface to preserve smooth suspension articulation at the damper top. The set is intended as a direct top-of-damper replacement using existing mounting locations.
Installation notes: remove the shock from the arm or shock tower to access the top cap, drain or contain shock oil before disassembly, swap the factory cap for the alloy cap and install the supplied bladder, then reassemble and check for leaks at the bleeder port. Minor shock rebuild experience is recommended to ensure seal orientation and oil levels are correct.
Tuning role: these caps do not change internal valving but can improve consistency by maintaining better sealing under repeated use, and the pivot ball mounting can slightly refine shock articulation during suspension travel. Use them as part of a maintenance or durability upgrade rather than a primary tuning change.
Package content includes 4pcs aluminum shock caps and 4pcs shock bladders for front and rear damper tops as supplied by the manufacturer.
