Aluminium piggyback shocks for X-MAXX

Made as a scale upgrade for TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX trucks, these aluminium spring shocks use an L-shaped piggyback reservoir to increase working oil volume and help maintain consistent damping. The seal arrangement is designed to limit leaks and keep shock action steady during long runs.

The shock shafts are a beefy 7mm stainless steel to reduce flex where the piston runs, and the kit supplies two coil spring options to tune ride height and initial rate: 2.6mm (green) and 2.8mm (orange). Small parts are precision made and the units are manually assembled to ensure proper fit and finish for aftermarket suspension upgrades.

From a tuning perspective the main adjustments come from three areas: oil capacity via the piggyback, shaft rigidity from the 7mm stainless shafts, and spring rate using the supplied dual springs. Those changes let you dial in responsiveness, body roll control, and compression behavior on large-scale X-MAXX platforms listed below.

Compatible Models

  • TRAXXAS-1/5 4WD X-MAXX 6S
  • TRAXXAS-1/5 ELECTRIC 4WD X-MAXX 8S MONSTER TRUCK

Fit these shocks as direct upgrades to the listed TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX models to sharpen suspension response and make spring tuning straightforward across different terrain types.

They are designed for the listed TRAXXAS 1/5 X-MAXX models but you should verify mounting points and included hardware against your vehicle before final installation.
The package includes two coil springs for basic tuning: 2.6mm green springs and 2.8mm orange springs to adjust initial rate and ride height.
Shafts are 7mm stainless steel to increase rigidity where the piston slides, improving durability and reducing flex compared with thinner shafts.
Inspect seals regularly, keep oil levels correct, and clean the piggyback area after dusty runs to prevent grit from affecting damping performance.
Basic hand tools such as hex drivers, a shock oil fill setup, and a small vice or shock stand will help with assembly, bleeding, and setting ride height.
