This aluminium piggy back front damper set is intended as an aftermarket upgrade for the TRAXXAS UNLIMITED DESERT RACER chassis. It boosts oil capacity and front suspension rigidity to provide steadier damping and improved handling across rough ground.
Bodies are manufactured from 6061 T6 aluminium with precision sealing to reduce oil leaks, and they accept higher-viscosity suspension oils for firmer control. Shafts are increased to 5mm diameter to resist bending under heavy loads, while the L-shaped reservoir increases oil travel to smooth the switch between compression and rebound. Thicker coil springs are included to raise the spring rate, and the standard springs remain usable if a softer setup is preferred.
Installation notes: these shocks are 135mm front units designed to replace the stock front dampers on the listed TRAXXAS platform. Basic shock strip-down, bleeding and refill are required; ensure seals sit correctly and fasteners are tightened to avoid seepage. Tune springs and oil to match driving style and surface conditions.
For enthusiasts seeking a firmer, higher-capacity front damper on the UNLIMITED DESERT RACER platform, this set delivers a simple upgrade with the flexibility to revert to stock springs for a softer ride.
