Traxxas 5862 Big Bore Shock Set with Springs – Durable Aluminum Damping for 2WD Slash, Rustler, Stampede

Precision, durability, and ready-to-run damping

The Traxxas 5862 Big Bore Shock Set blends hard-anodized aluminum bodies with PTFE-coated bores to minimize friction and deliver crisp, responsive suspension over a variety of terrain. Titanium-nitride coated shafts resist scuffing and wear, helping the dampers maintain smooth action through repeated sessions.

Inside each shock are dual silicone X-ring seals that keep the system performing quietly and reliably, while the premium shafts contribute to durable, near-frictionless operation. The progressive-rate springs provide a balanced feel—so you get a compliant response on small bumps and a firmer response when larger impacts occur.

What’s included and how it helps

• Four fully assembled shocks for front and rear use, designed to drop-in on Traxxas RTR models.
• Progressive-rate springs tailored for 2WD Slash platforms, helping you tune handling across conditions.
• Spring options recommended for popular models such as Rustler, Bandit, Stampede, Skully, and Craniac to optimize ride characteristics.
• Durable construction and a factory-works aesthetic aimed at consistent performance over time.

Real-world benefits and use cases

In real-world driving, you may notice improved bump absorption on rough tracks and better control during hard landings, thanks to the combination of PTFE-bore technology and high-quality dampers. The sturdy TiN-coated shafts help extend wear life, maintaining smooth damping lap after lap, while the seals minimize unwanted leakage and chatter.

• Enhanced stability on uneven surfaces, helping tires stay in contact with the ground.
• Improved handling during jumps and transitions, with a more predictable suspension feel.
• Reliable, long-term performance suitable for frequent use and hobby-grade racing alike.

From the manufacturer’s perspective, these shocks are designed to work with Traxxas RTR vehicles, delivering a durable, ready-to-run upgrade that preserves the vehicle’s factory-inspired look and feel. For best results, install the included springs with compatible models and tailor the ride to your preferred setup. This set provides a solid foundation for smoother, more confident handling without overpromising outcomes.
