TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 Front Adjustable Alloy Spring Damper SLA087F by GPM  [SLA087F]

Front damper summary for short course use

The SLA087F is an alloy front adjustable spring damper sold as a 1pr set made to suit TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 chassis. It replaces factory front shocks with a machined alloy body and alloy ball top and ball ends, and includes three coil spring wire sizes (1.3mm, 1.5mm, 1.7mm) along with a 4mm shaft to support firmer setups.

In everyday RC running this unit serves as both a tougher mechanical replacement and a straightforward tuning item, letting you change initial spring rate and preload without swapping shock bodies. The ball top and ball-end hardware match common Slash 4X4 linkages, while the included spring sizes let you fine tune front response for mixed surfaces.

Fitting follows standard threaded-body damper practice for short-course trucks: remove the stock front dampers, transfer or replace lower caps if needed, slide the 4mm shaft into the lower mount and attach the ball ends to the suspension links. Confirm shaft length, travel and cap clearance before completing the installation.

For Slash 4X4 drivers wanting a firmer front end and flexible spring-rate options, this alloy adjustable damper gives a durable, tunable upgrade that works with stock linkage geometry and standard shock mounts.
