TRAXXAS UNLIMITED DESERT RACER Aluminum front L-shape piggy back damper 135mm by GPM UDR135FFX/L  [UDR135FFX/L]

Aluminum L-shape front damper, 135mm

This aluminum piggy back front damper set is designed as an RC-scale replacement or hop-up for the TRAXXAS UNLIMITED DESERT RACER chassis. The kit focuses on improving oil capacity and structural rigidity in the front suspension, with clear effects on balance and damping consistency during aggressive desert-style runs.

The dampers use 6061 T6 aluminum bodies that are tightly sealed to reduce the risk of oil leakage, and they accept high-concentration suspension oil for stronger damping control. Shafts are thickened to 5mm to resist bending under load, and the L-shape piggy back reservoir increases oil travel to smooth out rebound and compression transitions. Coil springs supplied are thicker than stock to raise spring rate, while the original springs remain compatible if a softer setup is required.

Installation notes: these are RC-scale front dampers sized at 135mm and intended to replace standard front units on the named TRAXXAS platform. Basic shock disassembly and bleeding are required to install and fill with oil; ensure seals are seated and fasteners torqued to avoid leaks. Tune spring rate and oil weight to match track conditions and desired rebound behaviour.

For hobbyists seeking a stiffer, more oil-capacious front damper for the UNLIMITED DESERT RACER platform, this GPM set provides a straightforward upgrade path, with options to revert to stock springs if a softer setup is preferred.
