RC car suspension is one of the most critical components that directly affects your vehicle's handling, stability, and performance across different terrain. As an RC model shop resource, we understand that choosing the right suspension components can make the difference between a mediocre driving experience and an exceptional one. The ARRMA Aluminum Shock Set represents genuine OEM quality, sourced directly from the manufacturer, ensuring compatibility and reliability with your GROM platform. This complete four-shock set gives you everything needed to replace worn or damaged shocks on your 1/16 RC truck, restoring it to factory specification or upgrading from standard kit-supplied items.
Built with high-quality materials and engineered to ARRMA's exacting standards, these shocks deliver consistent performance whether you're racing competitively or bashing for fun. The inclusion of pre-filled 1000cSt silicone shock oil means immediate usability—no time wasted sourcing shock oil or performing tedious filling procedures. For UK RC enthusiasts running ARRMA GROM models, this shock set represents genuine value and authentic replacement parts from an authorised retailer.
Key Features
- Assembled Aluminium Construction — Each shock absorber is precision-manufactured from quality aluminium, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratio whilst resisting corrosion and extending service life even in demanding driving conditions across UK terrain.
- Pre-Filled with 1000cSt Silicone Shock Oil — The shocks arrive completely pre-filled with professional-grade 1000cSt silicone shock oil, eliminating the need for additional purchasing or messy filling procedures and allowing you to install them immediately on your RC vehicle.
- Ready to Bolt On — These are fully assembled, ready-to-use shock absorbers that require no further assembly or tuning before installation, making them ideal for quick repairs or maintenance of your GROM RC truck.
- Threaded Spring Preload Adjusters — Precision-machined threaded adjusters allow fine-tuning of your vehicle's ride height and spring preload, enabling you to dial in the exact suspension geometry that suits your driving style and local terrain conditions.
- Complete Four-Shock Set — This package includes all four shocks needed for a complete suspension replacement, ensuring balanced handling and consistent performance across all four wheels of your 1/16 GROM.
- OEM Quality and Fitment — As genuine ARRMA parts, these shocks are engineered to match factory specifications exactly, guaranteeing perfect fitment with zero compatibility issues on your GROM platform.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminum Shock Set represents professional-grade suspension engineering optimised for 1/16 scale RC desert trucks. The 58mm length specification is precisely calculated to work with the GROM's chassis geometry, delivering the correct ride height and suspension travel for balanced performance across smooth desert surfaces, rocky terrain, and technical tracks. The aluminium construction provides superior damping characteristics compared to plastic shock bodies, offering better longevity and more consistent performance over extended driving sessions. The 1000cSt silicone shock oil is a mid-range viscosity specifically formulated for 1/16 scale vehicles, providing appropriate resistance to suspension compression and extension whilst maintaining responsiveness through rapid terrain transitions. UK RC enthusiasts appreciate that the pre-filled design eliminates variables in shock tuning—the manufacturer has already selected the correct oil viscosity, ensuring your GROM handles as intended straight out of the box. The threaded spring preload adjusters provide real tuning capability, allowing adjustment of ride height by fractions of a millimetre to compensate for different driving surfaces, weight distribution changes, or personal driving preferences. Whether you're competing in local RC racing events or enjoying casual weekend bashing across UK countryside terrain, these shocks deliver the durability and performance characteristics that ARRMA is recognised for throughout the RC community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks suitable as replacement parts for my ARRMA GROM? — Yes, these are genuine OEM replacement shocks designed specifically for ARRMA GROM 1/16 scale models. They provide exact fitment and factory-specification performance, making them the ideal choice when upgrading from worn kit-supplied shocks or replacing damaged suspension components.
- What does 1000cSt silicone shock oil mean, and why does it matter? — The cSt (centistoke) measurement indicates the viscosity or thickness of the shock oil. 1000cSt is a mid-range viscosity designed specifically for 1/16 scale RC trucks like the GROM, providing the right balance between responsive handling and smooth damping. Thicker oils (higher cSt) provide more damping for smoother rides, whilst thinner oils allow quicker suspension response. The 1000cSt specification is optimised for the GROM's weight and intended use.
- Can I adjust these shocks after installation? — Yes, the threaded spring preload adjusters allow you to fine-tune ride height and suspension preload. This means you can modify your vehicle's geometry to suit different driving surfaces, adjust for weight distribution changes, or personalise handling characteristics to match your driving style and local UK terrain conditions.
- Do these shocks come assembled and ready to install? — Completely. These are fully assembled shock absorbers that arrive pre-filled with silicone oil, requiring no additional assembly, filling, or preparation. You can install them directly onto your GROM and begin driving immediately, making them perfect for quick maintenance or emergency repairs during RC events.
- What is the difference between these aluminium shocks and plastic alternatives? — Aluminium shocks offer superior strength, better heat dissipation, improved damping characteristics, and significantly longer service life compared to plastic shock bodies. Aluminium resists corrosion, maintains consistent performance over extended use, and provides the precision engineering that serious RC enthusiasts expect from genuine OEM components.
- Are these shocks compatible with aftermarket suspension modifications? — These shocks are specifically engineered for the ARRMA GROM platform and integrate with the standard suspension geometry. Compatibility with aftermarket modifications depends on the specific parts involved, so we recommend consulting the product documentation or contacting our expert team if you're planning significant suspension customisation.
