GPM Racing Aluminium Front Damper Mount for Traxxas 1/7 Unlimited Desert Racer-85076-4 (UDR028)

Precision 6061 T6 front damper mount for TRX UDR applications

This aftermarket front damper mount set targets the TRAXXAS UNLIMITED DESERT RACER scale buggy to address front suspension roll and chassis stability with CNC-style aluminium components. Machined from 6061 T6 aluminium, the mounts present a firmer mounting interface than factory plastic parts and improve repeatability for setup changes.

Functionally the kit is tuning focused: altering damper attachment points modifies leverage and roll centre characteristics, enabling refined steering feedback and weight transfer control on technical terrain. The components integrate with the original damper assemblies and provide alternate external mounting locations rather than modifying damper internals.

Assembly advice: locate the damper eyelet in the internal position to confirm geometry, then install the outer section for the external leverage if required. Use controlled torque values for the stainless fasteners to preserve chassis thread integrity.

Use these mounts to evaluate alternate damper geometries and achieve consistent front-end setup adjustments prized by competitive hobbyists.

Will these mounts fit the stock UDR shock towers without modification?

They are designed to mount to the original damper positions; confirm hole alignment and clearances before final installation.

What benefits does 6061 T6 provide at the damper mount?

6061 T6 aluminium offers high stiffness-to-weight with good machinability, producing a stable mounting point that reduces flex and improves repeatable setup changes.

How should I approach setup testing after installation?

Adopt a methodical approach: fit the mounts, record baseline runs, then change one mounting position at a time while recording handling differences for objective comparison.

Are the supplied fasteners corrosion resistant?

The kit includes stainless steel round head screws which provide good corrosion resistance for typical RC use; apply threadlocker if you run on high vibration circuits. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
