Piggyback aluminium shocks for X-MAXX tuning

These aluminium spring shocks are offered as an aftermarket upgrade for TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX platforms. The L-shaped piggyback reservoir increases damping oil volume over the stroke, while an anti-leak seal layout promotes reliable damping through extended runs.

Stainless steel shock shafts measure 7mm to improve stiffness where the piston operates, and two coil spring options allow quick changes to ride height and initial rate: 2.6mm (green) and 2.8mm (orange). Small components are precision manufactured and the assemblies are hand-built for consistent fitment in upgrade installations.

Practical tuning effects come from three controllable aspects: effective oil volume from the piggyback, shaft rigidity from the 7mm shafts, and spring rate from the supplied springs. Together these let you tune responsiveness, roll resistance, and bump absorption on the large X-MAXX models listed below.

Compatible Models

  • TRAXXAS-1/5 4WD X-MAXX 6S
  • TRAXXAS-1/5 ELECTRIC 4WD X-MAXX 8S MONSTER TRUCK

Install these shocks as direct upgrade components on the compatible TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX trucks to refine suspension feel and make spring tuning more straightforward for different track layouts.

Are these a direct upgrade for the listed X-MAXX trucks?

They are designed to suit the listed TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX models, but always double-check mounting dimensions and hardware compatibility on your specific chassis.

What spring sizes are supplied?

The kit contains two spring types for basic tuning: 2.6mm (green) for a softer setup and 2.8mm (orange) for a firmer initial rate.

What are the shaft details?

Shafts are specified at 7mm in stainless steel to reduce flex and improve wear resistance compared with smaller shafts.

How do I keep them performing well?

Regularly clean the exterior and piggyback area, check seals for signs of wear, and refresh shock oil when you observe degraded damping or contamination.

Which tools help for tuning?

Hex drivers, a shock pump or oil fill rig, and a shock clamp or small vice will streamline assembly, bleeding, and spring preload adjustments.
