Slash 4x4 Low-CG Aluminium Dampers and Tyres SLA087102FR by GPM  [SLA087102FR]

Precision aluminium low-CG dampers matched to rally tyres

This four-piece upgrade replaces the stock suspension on listed Traxxas Slash 4x4 variants to lower the centre of gravity and refine chassis dynamics at speed. The aluminium-bodied shocks are engineered to work with low-ground-clearance tyres to reduce roll and improve lateral tracking across flat and mixed surfaces.

Technical details: the damper body diameter is increased to 13.8mm and the shock shaft diameter is 4mm, while coil springs have a slight nominal length increase versus the reference setup. The enlarged internal volume and extended spring seating range expand oil capacity and tuning range, delivering more predictable mid-speed compliance and damping response over repetitive small impacts.

Included hardware supports precision setup: 4mm and 5mm aluminium shims for preload tuning, 12-17 hex converters to match common Slash 4x4 wheel hexes, lock nuts, Delrin collars and stainless button-head screws for secure assembly. Use shims to set initial preload and verify hex seating for correct wheel engagement.

Installation and tuning notes: intended for experienced hobbyists and tuners familiar with suspension geometry and shock servicing; confirm thread depth on replacement fasteners, check for shaft binding through travel and perform a post-fit wheel alignment. Start with conservative preload and two 4mm shims per corner, then iterate spring preload and oil viscosity to achieve the desired balance between understeer and traction.

A CNC-grade aftermarket solution focused on lowering roll centre and improving damping stability for Slash 4x4 platforms; use the included shims and collars for precise preload and track calibration.
