Introduction
Use this guide to replace a Traxxas TRX-4M (model 97074-1) shock that has become worn beyond repair.
Similar to a full-sized vehicle, a remote-controlled vehicle's shock is something that is heavily used, whether it be from sitting on a shelf to crawling on a course. Over time, this can lead to damage. If you notice continuous abnormal leaking of shock fluid or damage to the shock piston, you should replace the shock.
