Overview
Make shock bleeding fast, clean, and consistent on your Traxxas X-Maxx with the Hot Racing Aluminum Bleeder Shock Caps with Spring Retainer Set. CNC-machined from solid aluminum and finished in a sleek black anodized coating, these direct-replacement shock caps add a built-in bleeder screw to the stock X-Maxx shocks — eliminating the messy, time-consuming process of bleeding shocks the factory way.
Beyond the bleeder feature, the included aluminum spring adjusters and seats let you fine-tune ride height and preload with O-ring-equipped collars that resist unintentional adjustment under heavy bashing. Beveled edges and clean machining give your shocks a serious upgrade in both function and appearance.
Key Features
- CNC-machined aluminum construction
- Black anodized finish with secondary machined beveled edges

Performance Benefits

Usage Notes
Designed to install on stock Traxxas X-Maxx shocks. You will need two (2) sets per truck (one for each pair of shocks). Use the bleeder screws by filling the shock with oil, then slowly cycling the shaft and cracking the bleeder to release trapped air. Apply removable thread-locker on threaded fasteners as needed.
