RPM Black Shock Shaft Guards For The Traxxas X-Maxx

Rocks, dirt and particles striking your shock shafts lead to dents, dings and burrs, which, in turn, lead to torn shock seals. Torn shock seals means leaky shocks and poor shock performance. RPM Shock Shaft Guards shield the shock shaft from those weakening components, extending the life of the shock shaft, which enhances the long-term performance of the suspension and in turn, lengthens the time in between seal replacement and shock rebuilds.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are an easy style, changing stock shock spring cups with ones that have mounting holes for a thin however hard guard that rises to the base of the shock body. The guard completely obstructs particles from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which prevents particles from developing inside the guard as well.

The front guard of the guard covers over 100 degrees of frontal exposure! That means rocks thrown from the front tires (or from that man you?re trying to pass) won?t ever strike your shock shafts. RPM Shock Shaft Guards are zero friction defense devices, meaning our guards never touch the working components of the shocks.

As an added benefit, we increased the length of the tubular spring support of the spring cup by nearly 2mm (5/64?). The added length assists avoid the spring from leaping off of the spring perch when the conditions are less than ideal.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are offered in pairs and are stock replacement items.

Tech Notes: RPM Shock Shaft Guards fit stock Traxxas X-Maxx GTX shocks (Traxxas #7761, #7761A, #7761G & #7761R) only. They have not been tested nor guaranteed to fit any other shocks for the X-Maxx. RPM Shock Shaft Guards replace Traxxas #7764 (spring cups only). 2 plans will be required to complete one vehicle.
