Key Features
- Assembled and Ready to Install — These shocks arrive fully assembled, eliminating the need for complex component assembly before fitting to your vehicle, which saves valuable setup time and reduces the risk of assembly errors during installation.
- Pre-filled with 500cSt Silicone Shock Oil — The shocks come pre-filled with quality 500cSt silicone damping fluid, which is calibrated to provide optimal suspension response and ensures consistent damping characteristics immediately upon installation without requiring oil changes before first use.
- 190mm Length Specification — The 190mm length is precisely engineered for the Outcast 4X4 8S and Kraton 8S vehicles, ensuring correct ride height, suspension geometry, and handling balance across a wide variety of terrain types and driving conditions.
- Threaded Spring Preload Adjusters Included — Fine-tuning capability is built in with threaded preload adjusters that allow you to dial in your preferred ride height and suspension stiffness without replacing springs, giving you the flexibility to optimise your setup for different track conditions and driving styles.
- Compatible Spring Selection — The set arrives without springs, allowing you to select springs that suit your specific driving preferences, vehicle weight distribution, and terrain conditions before installation, providing complete customisation options.
- High-Quality Materials and Construction — Manufactured to ARRMA's exacting standards using premium materials, these shocks deliver consistent performance and durability through countless cycles of compression and extension during aggressive RC driving.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Set 190mm represents a critical suspension component for 1/5 scale RC vehicles designed to handle the extreme forces generated by brushless electric drivetrains and high-speed driving. The 190mm shock length specification ensures proper suspension geometry and ride height for the Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck, maintaining the vehicle's centre of gravity and handling balance across varied terrain. The pre-filled 500cSt silicone shock oil provides velocity-dependent damping characteristics that absorb impacts while maintaining suspension responsiveness, critical for maintaining traction and control when piloting high-performance RC buggies and stunt trucks at speed. The inclusion of threaded spring preload adjusters enables precise tuning of suspension ride height without component replacement, allowing experienced drivers to optimise their setup for competition or recreational driving. These assembled shocks eliminate variables associated with component assembly and ensure consistent quality control, with each unit inspected before despatch to maintain ARRMA's reputation for engineering excellence in the RC hobby sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock absorbers compatible with my ARRMA Outcast or Kraton 8S? — Yes, these 190mm assembled shocks are specifically engineered for the ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck and compatible Kraton models. Always verify your vehicle model number against the compatibility information to ensure correct fitment before purchase.
- Do these shocks come with springs included? — No, these shocks are supplied without springs, which allows you to select springs that perfectly match your driving preferences, vehicle weight, and the terrain you'll be tackling. This customisation approach ensures you can optimise your suspension setup precisely.
- What shock oil viscosity is included in these shocks? — The shocks arrive pre-filled with 500cSt silicone shock oil, a professional-grade damping fluid calibrated to provide consistent suspension response and impact absorption for 1/5 scale performance driving.
- Can I adjust the ride height with these shocks? — Yes, the included threaded spring preload adjusters allow you to fine-tune your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness without requiring spring replacement, giving you flexibility to dial in your setup for different conditions.
- Why are these shocks sold as a pair rather than individually? — Selling as a matched pair ensures consistent suspension geometry and handling balance across both the front and rear of your vehicle, which is essential for predictable steering response and traction control in high-performance RC driving.
- How do I install these shocks on my RC vehicle? — These fully assembled shocks bolt directly onto your vehicle's suspension mounts; however, you'll need to fit your chosen springs and preload adjusters before installation. Consult your vehicle's instruction manual for detailed mounting specifications and torque settings.
