The superior build quality and precision manufacturing ensure consistent handling characteristics and extended durability, making this an investment in your RC car's longevity and performance.
Key Features
- Pre-assembled and ready to install — Both front and rear shocks arrive fully assembled with no additional setup required, allowing you to get back on the track within minutes rather than spending hours on installation and calibration work.
- Pre-filled with TBC cSt silicone damping oil — The shocks come factory-filled with quality silicone oil at the correct viscosity specification, ensuring optimal dampening characteristics straight from the box without requiring separate oil purchases or measurements.
- Aluminium construction with purple anodised finish — The high-quality anodised aluminium bodies provide excellent durability and corrosion resistance whilst maintaining the unmistakable purple ARRMA colour scheme that distinguishes your model on the track.
- Threaded spring preload adjusters — These precision-engineered adjusters allow fine-tuning of your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness, giving you the ability to optimise ground clearance and handling characteristics for different driving conditions without replacing the entire shock assembly.
- Complete four-piece set — You receive two front and two rear pre-assembled shocks, providing a full suspension refresh for comprehensive performance improvement across all four corners of your 1/16 scale RC model.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Set represents engineering excellence specifically tailored to the demands of 1/16 scale RC motorsport. The aluminium construction provides an optimal balance between lightweight responsiveness and structural rigidity necessary to withstand the impacts and forces encountered during aggressive driving sessions. The pre-filled TBC cSt silicone oil has been carefully selected to provide appropriate damping characteristics for the Mini Kraton 3S platform, meaning the suspension will respond predictably to acceleration, braking, cornering forces and rough terrain without requiring owner intervention or adjustment. The threaded spring preload adjusters feature precision engineering that allows micro-adjustments to suspension geometry, directly impacting how the chassis sits relative to the ground and how forces distribute through the suspension. This level of adjustability is typically found on competition-grade RC vehicles, putting genuine tuning capability into the hands of dedicated enthusiasts. The four-piece configuration ensures balanced suspension performance across all four corners, critical for maintaining consistent handling and preventing unwanted chassis behaviour like understeer or oversteer caused by unmatched shock performance front to rear.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this shock set suitable for my ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S RC model? — Yes, this shock set is specifically engineered as a replacement component for the ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S, including all variants with battery and charger packages included. The fitment has been precisely matched to your model's mounting points and suspension geometry to ensure perfect compatibility.
- Do I need to add oil to these shocks or are they ready to use? — These shocks arrive completely pre-filled with TBC cSt silicone damping oil from the factory, making them ready to install immediately without any additional maintenance or preparation steps required.
- What is the difference between this shock set and other ARRMA replacement shocks available? — This shock set features pre-assembled construction with integrated threaded spring preload adjusters, allowing direct installation and fine-tuning of ride height and suspension characteristics without requiring tools or technical knowledge. The purple anodised finish is specific to this variant, with other colour options available in red and blue.
- Can I adjust the stiffness of these shocks? — Yes, the threaded spring preload adjusters allow you to modify suspension stiffness and ride height. However, if you require different oil viscosity for significantly different handling characteristics, alternative shock sets with different cSt ratings may be available for your model.
- How often should I replace my RC shock set? — Shock replacement intervals depend on usage frequency and driving conditions. If you notice reduced dampening performance, visible damage to the aluminium bodies, or oil leakage around the shock bodies, replacement is recommended. Regular inspection during maintenance routines helps identify wear early.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA part? — Yes, this is an official ARRMA component manufactured to the same specifications as factory-installed shocks, ensuring compatibility and performance consistency with your original equipment.
