TRAXXAS GT4 TEC 2.0 Precision Oil-Filled 6061-T6 Dampers Front 53mm Rear 50mm GT5053FR by GPM  [GT5053FR]

Precision 6061-T6 oil damper set for GT4 platforms

This 16-piece oil-filled damper kit is an aftermarket suspension upgrade engineered for the TRAXXAS 4WD GT4 TEC 2.0 configuration and identified by model GT5053FR. The design objective is improved chassis stiffness and a lower static ride height while maintaining straightforward serviceability and tuning for competition and fast touring applications.

The dampers employ 6061 T6 aluminium bodies to reduce component flex, combined with a higher-concentration damping fluid to stabilise rebound characteristics. Coil springs are specified with an increased wire diameter to resist deformation under load, and the damper shafts are reinforced to reduce bending risk. Front assemblies measure 53mm and rear assemblies 50mm, shortening the overall length from 55mm references to lower the centre of gravity and sharpen dynamic response.

Installation uses conventional oil-damper mounting to standard shock towers and lower mounts on GT4-style chassis. The kit includes alloy collars sized to locate at the upper mounting hole, allowing shock-angle adjustments and subtle body rake changes without modifying spring preload, which aids quick setup iterations when tuning front/rear balance.

For precision GT4 setups requiring lower stance and improved damping consistency, this kit provides a direct-fit upgrade with reinforced shafts and tuning collars that enable systematic handling adjustments without extensive chassis changes.
