- Supplied assembled without springs — The shocks come fully assembled and ready to install, eliminating the need for time-consuming assembly work; however, you'll need to fit your choice of springs to complete the suspension setup according to your driving style and track conditions.
- Ready to bolt on — Once you've installed your preferred springs, these shocks are immediately ready to bolt onto your vehicle, allowing you to get back to driving without unnecessary delays or complex installation procedures.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Set features an 11mm bore diameter with a 109mm overall length, designed to deliver consistent damping performance across a wide range of driving conditions. The 2x1.3mm piston configuration provides precision fluid flow control, which directly impacts how your RC vehicle absorbs impacts and maintains traction during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The TBC cSt specification indicates the oil viscosity is tailored for balanced performance, allowing the shocks to respond quickly to track imperfections whilst maintaining controlled suspension travel. Pre-filled with 300cSt silicone shock oil, these units deliver the dampening characteristics you'd expect from ARRMA's engineering standards. The construction quality ensures minimal friction and consistent performance lap after lap, whether you're driving your RC model on asphalt, dirt, grass, or mixed terrain. These genuine ARRMA components are engineered to exacting tolerances, meaning they'll integrate seamlessly with your VORTEKS 2WD chassis and maintain the factory-tuned handling characteristics your vehicle was designed for.
