RPM Orange Shock Shaft Guards For Traxxas X-Maxx

Rocks, dirt and debris striking your shock shafts result in damages, dings and burrs, which, in turn, result in torn shock seals. Torn shock seals suggests dripping shocks and poor shock efficiency. RPM Shock Shaft Guards shield the shock shaft from those weakening elements, prolonging the life of the shock shaft, which enhances the long-lasting efficiency of the suspension and in turn, prolongs the time in between seal replacement and shock rebuilds.

RPM Shock Shaft Guards are a basic design, replacing stock shock spring cups with ones that have mounting holes for a thin but hard guard that rises up to the base of the shock body. The guard completely obstructs debris from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which prevents debris from constructing inside the guard as well.

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

As an included benefit, we increased the length of the tubular spring support of the spring cup by nearly 2mm (5/64?). The included length helps avoid the spring from jumping 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 evaluated nor ensured to fit any other shocks for the X-Maxx. RPM Shock Shaft Guards replace Traxxas #7764 (spring cups only). Two plans will be needed to complete one vehicle.
