Traxxas TiN Shock Shafts are XX-long hardened-steel shafts finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating and a micro-polished surface to reduce friction and resist scratches. Sold as a two-piece set, these shafts help shocks run smoother and extend seal life during repeated use.
These shafts are a simple, effective way to step up shock performance without changing pistons or bodies. They suit hobbyists who want crisper damping, longer-lasting seals, and stronger shafts for heavy use—ideal for regular trail driving, bashing, or competition where smoother suspension action matters.
I bent both rear shock shafts on my Traxxas slash 2wd during a big jump. Swapped 'em for these. They looked a bit skinnier than the originals but fit just fine and no leaks. Haven't tested on a huge jump yet, but since they're hardened steel, I think they'll hold up.
Must Have!
When you're bashing your Traxxas trucks, you're gonna bend those stock shafts somehow. I always keep a pack around for that reason. I own 4 Traxxas trucks: Stampede 2wd, Stampede 4x4, E-maxx, and a slash. Replaced about 4 stock shafts with these, and haven't bent or broken one yet.
