RPM Orange Shock Shaft Guards For Traxxas X-Maxx

Rocks, dirt and debris striking your shock shafts cause damages, dings and burrs, which, in turn, cause torn shock seals. Torn shock seals means leaking shocks and poor shock performance. RPM Shock Shaft Guards shield the shock shaft from those deteriorating elements, lengthening the life of the shock shaft, which enhances the long-lasting performance of the suspension and in turn, extends the time between seal replacement and shock rebuilds.

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

The front shield of the guard covers over 100 degrees of frontal direct exposure! That means rocks thrown from the front tires (or from that guy you?re trying to pass) won?t ever hit your shock shafts. RPM Shock Shaft Guards are absolutely no friction defense gadgets, meaning our guards never touch the working elements of the shocks.

As an added perk, we increased the length of the tubular spring assistance of the spring cup by almost 2mm (5/64?). The added length helps 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 checked nor guaranteed to fit any other shocks for the X-Maxx.
