Key Features
- Four Complete Assembled Shocks — This set includes two assembled front shock absorbers and two assembled rear shock absorbers, providing a complete suspension refresh for your 1/16 ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S brushless RC truck. Having all four shocks matched ensures consistent handling characteristics across all four corners of your vehicle, which is essential for predictable, balanced suspension performance during high-speed runs and competitive driving.
- 1300cSt Silicone Shock Oil Pre-Fill — Each shock is factory pre-filled with 1300-centistoke silicone shock oil, eliminating the need for manual oil filling and ensuring precise damping characteristics right out of the box. This viscosity level has been specifically chosen by ARRMA engineers to deliver optimal suspension response for the Mini Kraton platform, balancing comfort over rough terrain with responsive handling during sharp cornering manoeuvres.
- Green Anodised Aluminium Bodies — The unmistakable green anodised finish not only provides authentic ARRMA styling but also protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion and abrasion during intense off-road bashing sessions. Aluminium construction offers the perfect balance between lightweight performance and durability, ensuring your shocks can withstand the rigorous demands of RC racing and casual driving alike.
- Threaded Spring Preload Adjusters — Fine-tune your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness with the integrated threaded spring preload adjusters fitted to each shock. This allows UK RC enthusiasts to customise their suspension geometry for different driving conditions, track layouts, and personal preferences without requiring specialised tools or additional components, making it easy to dial in the perfect setup for your driving style.
- Ready to Bolt On — The fully assembled design means no time-consuming component assembly or shock body preparation is required. Simply remove the old shocks from your Mini Kraton 3S and install these new units, allowing you to get back on the track or trails within minutes rather than hours, making these shocks perfect for racers who need quick maintenance turnarounds between events.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Set represents genuine factory replacement suspension engineering specifically developed for the 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S platform. The aluminium shock bodies provide exceptional strength-to-weight ratios that complement the lightweight construction philosophy of modern brushless RC cars, whilst the pre-filled 1300cSt silicone oil delivers consistent damping performance across a wide range of driving conditions and temperatures. The threaded spring preload adjusters allow experienced RC drivers to fine-tune ride height and suspension compliance, enabling them to optimise handling characteristics for smooth carpet tracks, bumpy outdoor terrain, or high-grip clay surfaces. The complete four-piece assembly ensures balanced suspension geometry across all four corners of your vehicle, which is critical for maintaining predictable handling characteristics during aggressive cornering, jumping, and high-speed bashing sessions that are typical of 1/16 scale RC monster truck operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models are these shocks compatible with? — These shocks are specifically designed as replacement parts for the 1/16 ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S brushless RC monster truck, including all variants of the model such as the standard RTR version and the versions that include battery and charger bundles.
- Are these shocks pre-filled and ready to use? — Yes, each shock absorber is factory pre-filled with 1300cSt silicone shock oil, meaning they are completely ready to install directly onto your vehicle without any additional preparation, oil filling, or assembly required. This makes them ideal for busy RC enthusiasts who want to minimise downtime between drives.
- Can I adjust the suspension setup with these shocks? — Absolutely. Each shock features threaded spring preload adjusters that allow you to fine-tune your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness. This is particularly valuable for UK RC racers who compete on different track surfaces, from smooth indoor carpet tracks to rough outdoor terrain, as you can adjust the suspension geometry to suit your specific driving conditions and personal preferences.
- What is the difference between the 1300cSt oil in these shocks and other viscosity options? — The 1300-centistoke oil viscosity is the factory specification for the Mini Kraton 3S, providing optimised damping characteristics for this specific vehicle platform. Higher viscosity oils provide stiffer, more resistant damping suitable for high-grip surfaces, whilst lower viscosity oils provide softer damping for bumpy, loose terrain. The 1300cSt specification represents ARRMA's engineering recommendation for balanced all-around performance.
- Why should I buy genuine ARRMA shocks instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine ARRMA shocks are engineered specifically for your vehicle's suspension geometry, weight distribution, and performance characteristics. Factory components ensure perfect fitment, compatibility with other OEM parts, and consistent performance that aftermarket alternatives may not replicate. Additionally, using genuine parts maintains the integrity of your vehicle's engineering and helps preserve resale value.
- How often should I replace my shocks? — Shock wear depends on driving intensity and conditions. Regular bashers on rough terrain may need replacements annually, whilst casual drivers may find their shocks last two to three years. Signs of wear include oil leakage, reduced damping performance, or visible damage to the aluminium bodies. These replacement shocks are ideal for maintaining peak performance when your original units show signs of age.
