Aftermarket aluminium shocks tuned for X-MAXX

These aluminium spring shocks are developed as an upgrade for TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX machines. The L-shape piggyback reservoir holds additional damping oil across travel, and the seal configuration aims to reduce leakage and sustain consistent damping during extended sessions.

The kit uses 7mm stainless steel shock shafts to improve stiffness at the piston interface, and supplies two coil spring variants for ride tuning: 2.6mm (green) and 2.8mm (orange). Small components are produced to tight tolerances and the assemblies are hand-checked to ensure correct fit for aftermarket suspension work.

Key tuning variables are effective oil volume (piggyback), shaft rigidity (7mm shafts), and spring rate (supplied springs). Combined, these let you refine responsiveness, limit body roll, and manage compression behaviour on the large X-MAXX platforms 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-fit upgrades for the listed TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX models to hone suspension response and simplify spring-based setup changes for various surfaces.

Are these compatible with standard X-MAXX shock mounts?

They are intended for the listed TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX models, but confirm the eyelet spacings and cap clearances on your truck before installation.

What spring options does the kit include?

Two spring options are included for straightforward rate and height tuning: 2.6mm green springs and 2.8mm orange springs.

Why use 7mm shafts?

A 7mm stainless shaft increases rigidity at the piston interface, improving handling feel and resisting premature bending under heavy loads.

Routine service tips?

Check seals and oil after demanding runs, clean the piggyback reservoir area, and replace any worn components to maintain consistent damping.

Recommended setup tools?

Keep a set of hex drivers, a shock oil filling tool, and a small fixture or clamp handy for bleeding, assembling, and adjusting spring preload.
