GPM TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL Front Adjustable Spring Damper - RUS087F - RC Spare Part  [RUS087F]

Front damper summary

This aluminum front spring damper set is an aftermarket hop-up made for the TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL platform. The package contains an adjustable alloy damper body fitted with an alloy ball top and alloy ball ends, plus three coil spring wire sizes to change initial spring rate. The 4mm shaft and alloy construction focus on strength and consistent setup during tuning sessions.

Installation uses the stock front suspension mounting points on the Rustler VXL and does not require chassis modification when swapping out factory dampers. The alloy ball top and ball ends give a firmer pivot interface than many plastic fittings, helping reduce play in the linkage. Use the supplied springs to tune ride height and initial stiffness; thicker wire increases initial stiffness while the thinner wire softens the front response.

For setup begin with the middle 1.5mm spring and a neutral preload and rebound, then test the 1.3mm and 1.7mm springs to judge traction and turn-in. Verify threaded adjusters engage cleanly and ensure the 4mm shaft moves freely through the full travel. Periodic checks of ball ends and mounting hardware are advised after a few runs to confirm secure fitment.

This option suits drivers who want a firmer front connection and quick spring-swap tuning; match rear damping to achieve balanced handling.
