Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer (UDR) shocks with the Hot Racing Aluminum Shock Upgrade Kit. CNC-machined from anodized black aluminum, this kit replaces the stock shock caps and rod ends with stronger, finer-detailed components that include integrated bleeder screws — making shock maintenance dramatically easier than working with the factory parts.
This kit is also a tuner's dream: the included aluminum bleeder caps allow you to set up your shocks as either traditional bladder shocks (using your existing stock bladders) or as emulsion shocks (using the included o-rings instead of bladders), giving you a fundamental damping setup choice that completely changes how the shock behaves.
Key Features
- CNC-machined aluminum, anodized black
- Secondary-processed beveled edges for premium fit and finish
- Integrated bleeder screws for easy shock maintenance
- Configurable as bladder OR emulsion shocks
- Fits stock Traxxas UDR shocks and dampers without modification
Performance Benefits
- Easier shock bleeding and rebuilds via bleeder screws
- Choice of bladder or emulsion damping setup
- Stronger and more durable than stock plastic caps
- Cleaner aesthetics with anodized black finish
Usage Notes
Each kit completes two (2) shocks; four (4) kits are required to fully equip a 4-shock UDR. To set up as bladder shocks, retain your stock shock bladders (the included o-rings are not used). To set up as emulsion shocks, use the included o-rings (and omit the bladders). Use light shock oil during reassembly and bleed thoroughly via the new bleeder screws.
