TRAXXAS SLASH PRO 2WD SHORT COURSE CNC-Style Adjustable Front Damper Mount SLA2W028 by GPM  [SLA2W028]

Precision front damper mount technical brief

This aluminium adjustable front damper mount is an engineered aftermarket upgrade built for the TRAXXAS SLASH PRO 2WD SHORT COURSE platform. It provides a durable mounting interface for front dampers with multiple indexed positions to modify shock angle and ride height. The assembly ships as a 15pcs kit and includes the hardware required to replace softer plastic mounting points or to reposition dampers for targeted handling and tuning routines.

Installation uses basic mechanical fasteners: secure the mount to the chassis or body with the supplied stainless screws and lock nuts, then mount each damper through the selected hole to set the intended geometry. The aluminium construction reduces deflection under load compared with stock plastic parts, improving repeatable geometry under aggressive driving and repetitive impacts.

Setup guidance for tuners: altering the damper eye position changes lever arm and effective spring rate, influencing bump compliance and roll behaviour. Higher positions tend to increase droop and initial compliance, while lower positions orient the shock more vertically for a quicker initial response. The included collars and 3mm lock nuts are provided to maintain clamp force and prevent loosening after iterative adjustments.

Recommended for technically minded hobbyists seeking a stiffer front shock mounting solution with defined positional choices for suspension tuning on the TRAXXAS SLASH PRO 2WD SHORT COURSE chassis.
