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 suggests dripping shocks and poor shock performance. RPM Shock Shaft Guards shield the shock shaft from those weakening aspects, lengthening the life of the shock shaft, which enhances the long-lasting performance of the suspension and in turn, lengthens the time between seal replacement and shock rebuilds.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are a basic style, changing stock shock spring cups with ones that have mounting holes for a thin but hard shield that rises to the base of the shock body. The guard completely blocks particles from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which avoids particles from building inside the guard as well.

The front shield of the guard covers over 100 degrees of frontal exposure! That suggests rocks thrown from the front tires (or from that guy you?re attempting to pass) won?t ever hit your shock shafts. RPM Shock Shaft Guards are absolutely no friction security devices, implying our guards never touch the working aspects of the shocks.

As an included reward, we increased the length of the tubular spring support of the spring cup by almost 2mm (5/64?). The added length helps prevent the spring from leaping off of the spring perch when the conditions are less than ideal.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are sold 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 actually not been evaluated nor ensured to fit any other shocks for the X-Maxx. RPM Shock Shaft Guards change Traxxas #7764 (spring cups only). Two packages will be needed to finish one vehicle.
