TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 Alloy Front Adjustable Spring Damper SLA087F by GPM  [SLA087F]

Technical overview of the front adjustable damper

The SLA087F is an alloy front adjustable spring damper sold as a 1pr set, developed for TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 chassis where increased front rigidity and tuning range are required. The unit features a machined alloy body, alloy ball top and alloy ball ends, and includes three coil spring wire sizes (1.3mm, 1.5mm, 1.7mm) plus a 4mm shaft to support higher spring rates and reduce flex under load.

Functionally the component provides a direct mechanical upgrade and a simple method to alter initial spring rate and preload without replacing the shock body. The alloy hardware improves durability and repeatable fitment, while the supplied spring set allows precise front-rate tuning for different track or terrain conditions.

Installation follows standard threaded-body damper procedures: remove the original front dampers, retain or replace lower caps if necessary, insert the 4mm shaft into the lower mount and secure ball ends to suspension links. Verify shaft travel and cap clearance to ensure correct operation under dynamic loads.

For precision upgrades where stiffer front control and reliable fitment are priorities, the SLA087F offers CNC-style alloy components and a measured spring range to refine handling and durability.
