This aftermarket shaft set offers a direct-fit replacement for 1/5 TRAXXAS X-MAXX damper assemblies and is intended for routine damper rebuilds and straightforward tuning changes. Shafts are delivered as a matched pair for front or rear damper installation and are provided as RC maintenance parts.
In damper maintenance the shaft forms the guiding surface for piston and seal assemblies; installing new shafts can reduce seal abrasion and restore consistent damper travel. Confirm damper bore condition and seal integrity during fitting and replace any worn seals or bushings to maintain proper damping characteristics.
Service procedure: remove the damper from the chassis, drain shock oil and disassemble according to the damper manual. Pass the shaft through the piston and seal stack, verify shaft end profiles match the shock cap and piston retainer, then reassemble using the oil weight and travel configuration appropriate to your application.
