GPM Racing Aluminium Front+Rear L-Shape Piggy Back Damper - 8pcs Set for Traxxas 1/7 Unlimited Desert Racer-85076-4 (UDR35960FR/L)

Precision Aluminium L-shape Piggy Back Dampers for Front and Rear

This 8-piece upgrade set is engineered for the TRAXXAS UNLIMITED DESERT RACER chassis, supplying matched front and rear L-shape piggy back dampers that provide improved control and repeatable tuning characteristics. The kit targets experienced hobbyists seeking durable, serviceable damping hardware for demanding off-road use.

Components are machined from aluminium 6061 T6 and fitted with tight seals to limit oil loss. The design specifies higher concentration suspension oil to achieve a firmer damping curve, while the piggy back reservoir extends oil travel to reduce cavitation in long-stroke events. Structural reinforcements include 5mm damper shafts for reduced lateral flex and coil springs wound with 2.0mm wire to raise spring rate; original springs remain compatible to allow softer setups when required.

The package includes front and rear external spring dampers plus internal damper cartridges, enabling matched rebuilds of front and rear assemblies. These parts are intended for high-precision scale suspension tuning, installation on model chassis, and scheduled maintenance of oil and seals to maintain peak performance.

For precision-minded RC builders, this aluminium L-shape piggy back damper set offers CNC-calibre materials and reinforced internals to preserve damping consistency under heavy use and facilitate repeatable setup adjustments.

What components are supplied with the kit?

The kit supplies two front spring dampers, two front internal damper cartridges, two rear spring dampers and two rear internal damper cartridges for complete front and rear rebuilds.

How do these dampers improve shock performance?

Reinforced 5mm shafts reduce flex, 2.0mm spring wire increases spring rate and the piggy back reservoir extends oil travel to lower cavitation and maintain consistent damping over extended strokes.

What oil and service intervals are recommended?

Use a higher concentration suspension oil as specified for firmer damping; inspect seals after initial runs and service internal cartridges when damping performance begins to degrade.

Are original springs still usable with this kit?

Yes, the kit accepts the original springs if a softer rate is preferred, allowing tuners to experiment with spring rates and oil weight to refine handling. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
