RPM X-Maxx shock shaft guards orange

RPM have announced the release of select Traxxas X-Maxx option parts in orange colour. First up are the shock shaft guards for the popular Traxxas truck. Rocks, dirt and debris striking the shock shafts lead to dents, dings and burrs, which, in turn, lead to torn shock seals. Torn shock seals means leaky shocks and poor shock performance. The shock shaft guards shield the shock shaft from those deteriorating elements, prolonging the life of the shock shaft, which improves the long-term performance of the suspension and in turn, prolongs the time between seal replacement and shock rebuilds. The guards are a simple design, replacing stock shock spring cups with ones that have mounting holes for a thin but tough shield that rises up to the base of the shock body. The guard completely blocks debris from striking the shock shaft. The back and sides are open, which prevents debris from building inside the guard as well. As an added bonus, RPM increased the length of the tubular spring support of the spring cup by nearly 2mm. The added length helps prevent the spring from jumping off of the spring perch when the conditions are less than ideal. The guards are sold in pairs with two packs being needed to outfit a complete truck.
