Overview

The ARRMA Shock Set Bore:16mm, Length:133mm Oil:1000cSt (Z-ARA330622) is a professional-grade suspension upgrade designed for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance from their vehicles. This assembled shock absorber pair arrives ready to enhance your RC car's handling characteristics, whether you're a seasoned basher, weekend racer, or someone looking to maintain and upgrade their existing RC model. Built to ARRMA's exacting standards, these shocks deliver the precision suspension tuning that serious RC car UK hobbyists expect when replacing worn components or fine-tuning their setup.

Suspension is the foundation of any well-performing RC vehicle, and these shock absorbers have been engineered with meticulous attention to detail. Pre-assembled and filled with premium 1000cSt silicone shock oil, they arrive in a condition that allows you to bolt them straight onto your vehicle after selecting your preferred spring rate. This ready-to-install approach saves time and ensures consistent, factory-standard performance without the guesswork of DIY assembly.

Whether you're running an ARRMA Kraton 6S or similar platform, these shocks provide the responsive damping and durability needed for demanding RC driving conditions. The comprehensive tuning pistons included in the package mean you can fine-tune your suspension response to match your driving style and terrain, making this an excellent investment for anyone serious about optimising their RC car performance.

Key Features

• High-Quality Anodised Aluminium Construction — The shock bodies, caps, seal caps and preload adjusters are crafted from anodised aluminium, providing superior corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that resists wear even in harsh UK weather conditions and during intensive off-road use.
• 4mm Stainless Steel Shock Shafts — These robust shafts deliver long-lasting durability and resist bending or damage during aggressive driving, ensuring your shocks maintain their performance over extended periods of use on rough terrain.
• Tough Composite Shock Rod Ends and Spring Retainers — The composite construction offers an excellent balance between strength and weight, preventing premature wear at critical connection points whilst maintaining the responsive feel essential for precise RC car handling.
• Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install — Both shock absorbers arrive fully assembled, eliminating assembly errors and saving time; simply fit your chosen springs and bolt them onto your vehicle.
• Factory-Filled with 1000cSt Silicone Shock Oil — The shocks come pre-filled with premium silicone oil calibrated to 1000cSt viscosity, providing immediate consistent damping performance without requiring messy refilling procedures.
• Protective Shock Boots Included — Shock boots shield the shaft from dirt, mud and debris, extending the life of your shocks and maintaining their sealing integrity for consistent performance session after session.
• Comprehensive Tuning Piston Package — Four blank tuning pistons, plus two 8x1.2mm and two 8x1.3mm hole tuning pistons, allow you to adjust damping characteristics precisely to suit your driving conditions, terrain and personal preference.
• Additional Sway Bar Pivot Balls Included — Four spare sway bar pivot balls are supplied, providing convenient spares for maintenance and ensuring your anti-roll bar system operates smoothly.

Technical Performance

These ARRMA shocks represent serious engineering designed for the demands of modern RC bashers and racers across the UK. The 16mm internal bore diameter combined with the 133mm centre-to-centre length provides a perfect balance of stroke length and damping capacity, suitable for a wide range of suspension geometries. The 1.4mm x 8-hole piston configuration delivers responsive, tuneable damping characteristics, whilst the multiple included tuning pistons (1.2mm and 1.3mm hole variants) allow enthusiasts to dial in exactly the right balance of compression and rebound damping for their specific driving style. The premium 1000cSt silicone shock oil ensures consistent performance across temperature ranges, critical for maintaining predictable handling whether you're driving in summer heat or cooler UK weather conditions. The stainless steel shock shafts resist corrosion and maintain their smooth operation even when exposed to moisture and salt spray, whilst the anodised aluminium bodies provide excellent durability without excessive weight penalty. Whether you're replacing worn suspension components on an existing RC model or upgrading to improve handling performance, this shock set delivers the quality and precision expected from ARRMA's reputation in competitive and recreational RC racing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC cars are these ARRMA shocks compatible with? — These shocks are designed for the ARRMA Kraton 6S and compatible ARRMA platforms. With their 16mm bore and 133mm length, they suit vehicles engineered around these dimensions. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
• Why does this shock set include multiple tuning pistons? — The different tuning pistons (blank, 1.2mm hole and 1.3mm hole configurations) allow you to adjust damping response without draining and refilling shock oil. By changing pistons, you modify oil flow characteristics: fewer holes create stiffer damping, more holes create softer damping. This makes it easy to fine-tune your suspension for different terrains, weather conditions, and driving styles.
• Do I need to refill the shock oil? — No, these shocks arrive pre-filled with 1000cSt silicone shock oil, ready to use immediately. However, you may wish to refill or change the viscosity in future for different tuning needs.
• What is the difference between 1000cSt and other oil viscosities? — The cSt (centistoke) measurement indicates oil thickness. 1000cSt is a medium viscosity suitable for general-purpose RC car use; heavier oils (1200cSt+) create stiffer damping for high-speed driving, whilst lighter oils (500-700cSt) provide softer, more responsive feel for technical terrain.
• Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — Yes, since they arrive fully assembled and pre-filled, beginners can install them easily. However, advanced tuning features like the multiple piston options mean these shocks will grow with your skills as you learn suspension setup fundamentals.
• Why are stainless steel shock shafts important? — Stainless steel resists corrosion from moisture and salt, maintaining smooth operation and preventing rust that can cause binding or erratic damping. This ensures consistent handling performance even in challenging UK weather conditions or after wet-weather driving.
• What is the benefit of anodised aluminium construction? — Anodising creates a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion, enhances durability, and provides a professional aesthetic finish. This is especially valuable for RC vehicles exposed to moisture, mud and sand during outdoor UK driving.
