Overview
The ARRMA Shock Rod End & Spring Perch Set is an essential suspension component designed for owners of high-performance brushless RC trucks who demand reliability and precision. Whether you're running an ARRMA Kraton 8S, Outcast 8S, or other compatible models, these replacement shock rod ends and spring perches are engineered to maintain the exact geometry and performance characteristics your RC car needs. This is a critical spare part for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK who regularly bashes, competes, or puts their vehicle through demanding terrain.
Shocks are among the most frequently replaced components on any RC 4x4, especially on high-powered brushless vehicles that generate extreme suspension forces during aggressive driving, jumps, and rough ground impacts. Over time, the rod ends wear, and the spring perches can develop play or damage. Having a quality replacement set like this ARRMA spare ensures your suspension remains responsive, predictable, and safe. This set is perfect for maintenance, repairs after accidents, or upgrading worn components on your ready to run RC model.
ARRMA is recognised worldwide for manufacturing precision RC components that deliver competition-grade performance, and this shock rod end and spring perch set exemplifies that commitment to quality. If you own an ARRMA Kraton 8S 4x4 RTR or Outcast 8S 4x4 RTR brushless speed truck, this is the genuine spare part you need to keep your vehicle performing at its best.
Key Features
- Precision manufactured composite construction — The shock rod ends and spring perches are manufactured from high-quality tough composite material that has been engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring a safe and secure fit to your suspension system and delivering the kind of durability needed for repeated high-impact driving.
- Durable composite material for all-weather performance — The tough composite material resists degradation in all conditions, whether you're driving in wet UK weather, dusty environments, or extreme temperatures, meaning these components will maintain their integrity season after season.
- Precision-engineered shock rod ends — Each rod end is specifically designed to provide a perfectly secure connection between the shock body and your vehicle's suspension mounting points, eliminating any movement or slop that could compromise handling or suspension response.
- Specially designed spring perch — The spring perch geometry is optimised to ensure consistent performance from your vehicle's shock absorber springs, maintaining proper spring preload and preventing unwanted spring migration or noise during aggressive driving.
- Complete set of four shock components — This set includes everything needed to service all four shocks on your 4WD RC truck, making maintenance and repairs quick and straightforward without the need to source components individually.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Rod End & Spring Perch Set represents the engineering standard you should expect from a premium RC manufacturer. These components are manufactured from tough composite material that balances rigidity with impact resistance, crucial properties for a suspension element that must absorb massive forces generated by a brushless 8S-powered RC vehicle travelling at high speed across rough terrain. The precision manufacturing process ensures that each rod end and spring perch meets exact dimensional specifications, allowing them to fit perfectly with OEM suspension geometry and maintain the handling characteristics ARRMA engineered into your truck from the factory. The composite material is specifically selected for its resistance to UV degradation, moisture absorption, and thermal cycling—all common challenges in the UK climate. Whether you're running an ARRMA Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S brushless 4x4, these shock components will restore your suspension to factory specification and performance level.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles does this shock rod end and spring perch set fit? — This ARRMA spare part is designed specifically for ARRMA 1/5 scale models including the Kraton 8S 4x4 RTR brushless speed truck and the Outcast 8S 4x4 RTR brushless stunt truck. Always verify your specific model number against the fitment guide before purchase to ensure compatibility.
- When should I replace my shock rod ends and spring perches? — Shock components should be inspected regularly for wear, particularly after heavy use or impacts. Signs that replacement is needed include rattling or clicking sounds from the suspension, visible cracks or splitting in the composite material, excessive play when you try to move the rod by hand, or inconsistent suspension response during driving. On high-performance brushless 4x4 vehicles, it's good practice to inspect shock components at least every few months and replace them as needed.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete shock assembly, so it's intended for owners who already have an ARRMA vehicle and basic mechanical knowledge. If you're new to RC and unsure about suspension maintenance, we recommend speaking to our team at RC Model Shop in Walsall or consulting your vehicle's manual before attempting replacement.
- What tools do I need to install these shock rod ends and spring perches? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools including possibly hex wrenches and possibly a shock rod wrench, depending on your specific model. Consult your ARRMA vehicle's user manual for detailed installation instructions and recommended tools.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, the Z-ARA330569 is the genuine ARRMA part number for this component set. Always purchase from authorised ARRMA dealers to ensure you receive authentic parts with proper warranty coverage.
