Product snapshot: 7075 shock cap

This 7075 alloy shock cap is engineered for RC dampers on compatible TRAXXAS platforms, swapping in a lighter, high-strength 7075 aluminium top that helps limit seepage and preserve spring preload under aggressive operation. The cap is suitable for front or rear use.

Configured as an L-shape piggy-back with a built-in piston spring, it enables rebound tuning without removing internal pistons. Adjustment uses the red screw on the negative pressure cylinder to change the effective spring hardness for tuned rebound response in non-oil-filled arrangements.

Fitment should be checked against stock components during installation; the design accommodates original shock bodies and listed GPM shock bodies where stated. The upgrade aims to reduce frictional chatter and stabilise pressure transfer during compression and rebound.

Offered as an aftermarket upgrade for the listed TRAXXAS models, this cap focuses on durable construction and tunable rebound control for hobbyists seeking better handling balance.

What setup changes should I make when fitting this cap?

After fitting, check spring preload and ride height; use the red adjuster to dial rebound, then perform test runs to fine-tune settings for traction and stability.

Does this cap affect cornering balance?

Yes. Changing rebound response via the built-in spring can shift front-to-rear weight transfer, so adjust in small steps and evaluate handling on similar terrain.

Can I tune rebound without touching the internal piston?

Yes. The built-in piston spring and the red negative-pressure screw let you alter rebound behavior externally, avoiding disassembly of the internal piston assembly.

Will this cap change damping feel on rough tracks?

It can reduce chatter and improve mid-speed compliance by stabilising preload and pressure paths, but final feel depends on spring rates and setup choices.

Is the cap serviceable?

The cap is serviceable for routine inspection; replace seals and check the red adjuster for smooth operation as part of regular maintenance.
