GPM Racing Aluminium Front Shock Mount for Traxxas 1/10 MAXX (TXMS028)

Technical overview

This 11pcs aluminium front shock mount kit is engineered for TRAXXAS MAXX monster truck platforms as a direct replacement for the factory plastic mounting plate. The design focuses on preserving shock geometry and reducing flex at the front suspension mounting points under load.

The plate is machined from 6061 T6 aluminium to provide a high strength-to-weight solution. Multiple precisely located hole positions allow measured changes to shock angle and leverage for tuning. The supplied stainless steel fasteners enable bolt-on installation with minimal setup.

Intended for precision hobby upgrades and repair work, the TXMS028 improves front suspension consistency, maintains alignment, and provides repeatable adjustment points for track-orientated tuning sessions.

Packing includes

• Shock Mount - 5pcs
• Stainless Steel Flat Head Screw 3x40 - 2pcs
• Stainless Steel Flat Head Screw 3x10 - 2pcs
• Stainless Steel Round Head Screw 3x23 - 2pcs

What machining tolerances were targeted?

The plate is produced to tight CNC tolerances to ensure consistent hole spacing and repeatable mounting locations for setup reproducibility.

How does aluminium compare to plastic for mounting stiffness?

6061 T6 alloy offers higher tensile strength and less elastic deformation than common plastics, resulting in more stable shock geometry under repeated loading.

Are the supplied screws grade-specified?

The kit includes stainless steel screws in the sizes listed to match the mounting holes; they are chosen for corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force.

What set-up workflow is recommended?

Document baseline settings, change one mounting hole at a time, and record handling changes. Use controlled testing to evaluate the effect of each adjustment. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
