Technical Performance
This front shock tower represents a significant engineering advancement over standard plastic parts found on many ready to run RC trucks. The 7075-T6 aluminium alloy used throughout construction is an aerospace-grade material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for high-performance RC applications where durability and precision are non-negotiable. The CNC machining process ensures tolerances and concentricity that simply cannot be achieved with injection-moulded plastic alternatives. The anodised finish adds another layer of protection, defending against oxidation and wear whilst maintaining the professional ARRMA red appearance. The shock tower design incorporates engineering principles that provide superior load distribution and structural integrity, critical for withstanding the lateral forces and impacts experienced during aggressive driving of high-powered brushless RC trucks. Whether you're pushing your 1/8 scale 4WD vehicle to its limits on concrete, tarmac or loose terrain, this component delivers the performance reliability you expect from ARRMA's engineering and manufacturing excellence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA vehicles is this front shock tower compatible with? — This genuine ARRMA front shock tower (part number ARA320577) is compatible with multiple 1/8 scale ARRMA 6S 4x4 models including the Kraton 6S, Kraton 6S EXB, Notorious 6S, Notorious 6S EXB, Outcast 6S, and Outcast 6S EXB variants, making it a versatile upgrade for serious ARRMA owners.
- Why should I upgrade to a CNC machined aluminium shock tower? — The 7075-T6 aluminium construction offers dramatically superior strength and rigidity compared to the standard plastic shock towers found on stock vehicles. This means better durability during hard impacts, reduced flex under load, and longer component lifespan, making it an excellent investment for anyone who regularly bashes their RC truck or competes with it.
- Is this shock tower suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a replacement part rather than a complete vehicle, it is absolutely suitable for beginners who are upgrading their existing ARRMA RC truck. The installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge, and having quality components like this helps newer hobbyists develop good practices around vehicle setup and maintenance.
- What is the difference between this CNC machined tower and the stock plastic version? — The stock plastic shock tower on ARRMA vehicles is susceptible to cracking, warping and flexing under stress, particularly during hard landings and aggressive driving. This CNC machined 7075-T6 aluminium version is approximately 2.5 times thicker in the structural boxed centre section, providing significantly more support between the gearbox and shock mounting ears, resulting in less downtime and more consistent performance for your brushless RC truck.
- Can I use this part for racing as well as recreational bashing? — Yes, absolutely. The precision engineering and premium materials make this shock tower ideal for both competitive racing applications and recreational weekend bashing. Many serious RC racers and bashers throughout the UK choose ARRMA components like this precisely because they deliver consistent performance whether you're on the track or tearing up terrain in your local area.
