TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL Precision Front Damper for Tuning - RUS087F by GPM  [RUS087F]

Front damper highlights

This alloy front spring damper set is an aftermarket hop-up tailored for the TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL. The kit supplies an adjustable damper body with alloy ball top and alloy ball ends together with three coil spring wire sizes to adjust the initial spring rate. With a 4mm shaft and alloy parts, the design targets improved durability and consistent setup repeatability.

Installation is designed to use the Rustler VXL stock front suspension mounts so chassis modification is not needed when replacing the factory shocks. Alloy ball fittings reduce play versus some plastic connectors and help maintain a firmer suspension link. Use the included spring choices to tune nose lift and cornering balance; thicker wire increases initial stiffness while thinner wire softens response.

For baseline setup use the 1.5mm spring with moderate preload and rebound, then test the 1.3mm and 1.7mm springs to fine tune traction and steering feel. Make sure the threaded adjusters operate cleanly and that the 4mm shaft does not bind through full travel. Periodic checks of ball ends and mount hardware after several sessions will help sustain reliable fitment.

Ideal for hobbyists seeking a tougher front-end connection and quick spring-swap tuning to match surface conditions and driving style.
