- Precision Manufacturing for Consistent Fit — Every component is precision-manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit with your ARRMA chassis and easy servicing when you need to access the gearbox or shock components without any gaps, misalignments, or compatibility issues.
- Integrated Multi-Function Design — Rather than being simple covers, these parts integrate the gearbox cover, shock tower, body post mount, upper inner suspension mount and steering brace into one intelligent assembly, providing structural support across multiple critical areas of your RC vehicle's chassis.
- Front and Rear Set Included — This package includes both the front gearbox upper cover and rear gearbox upper cover, so you can refresh or repair both ends of your vehicle's chassis with a single purchase.
- Genuine OEM ARRMA Parts — These are authentic ARRMA replacement components (not aftermarket reproductions), guaranteeing the exact same quality, fit, and performance as the parts supplied with your original kit or vehicle.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Composite Front Rear Upper Gearbox Covers and Shock Tower represent the engineering standard you'd expect from ARRMA, the premium RC brand trusted by bashers and racers throughout the United Kingdom and globally. These chassis components are crafted from tough composite materials engineered to withstand the punishment of high-speed driving, jumps, crashes, and aggressive off-road conditions typical of 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles. The composite construction provides an excellent balance between weight savings and structural rigidity—critical for maintaining the suspension geometry and handling characteristics of your ARRMA vehicle. Unlike heavier metal alternatives, the composite material absorbs vibration and minor impacts whilst maintaining dimensional stability, ensuring your RC truck or buggy maintains consistent performance lap after lap. The shock tower integration is particularly important, as this component directly affects suspension travel, ride height, and the overall geometry of your vehicle's suspension system. By combining the gearbox cover, shock tower, body post mount, upper inner suspension mount and steering brace into a single precision-engineered assembly, ARRMA has created a component that provides structural support whilst simplifying chassis design and reducing the number of individual parts you need to manage. These parts are compatible with multiple ARRMA models including the Big Rock 3S, Granite 3S, Granite 4x4, Granite Boost, Kraton 4S, Outcast 4S, Senton 3S, Senton 4x4, Senton Boost, and Typhon 3S and 4x4 in both brushless and brushed variants, making them versatile spares for the ARRMA fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models are these gearbox covers compatible with? — These composite covers and shock tower are standard parts for a wide range of ARRMA 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicles including the Big Rock 3S, Granite 3S, Granite 4x4, Granite Boost 2WD, Kraton 4S, Outcast 4S, Senton 3S, Senton 4x4, Senton Boost 2WD, and Typhon 3S and 4x4 models. Check your vehicle's documentation to confirm fitment or contact RC Model Shop for expert advice on compatibility with your specific ARRMA RC truck or buggy.
- Why would I need replacement gearbox covers? — During normal bashing and racing, gearbox covers and shock towers can become cracked, scratched, or damaged from impacts and crashes. Replacement covers maintain the structural integrity of your chassis, protect internal gearbox components from dirt and moisture, and ensure your vehicle maintains the correct suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Having spare covers on hand minimises downtime when damage occurs.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) ARRMA parts, identical to those supplied with new ARRMA kits and vehicles. Choosing genuine ARRMA spares ensures perfect fitment, verified quality, and performance consistency with your existing chassis, unlike cheaper aftermarket alternatives that may have poor tolerances or incompatibility issues.
- How difficult is it to install these gearbox covers? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. The precision manufacturing ensures that these components fit perfectly with minimal adjustment required. Simply remove your old covers (which typically involves unbolting several fasteners) and install the new ones, securing them with the same mounting points. The integrated design means you're not fiddling with dozens of separate components—installation time is typically 15-30 minutes depending on your familiarity with your ARRMA vehicle's chassis.
- Do I need any special tools to fit these components? — Standard RC tools are all you'll need: a set of metric hex keys (typically 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm), possibly a small Phillips or flathead screwdriver, and potentially a small wrench for certain fasteners depending on your specific ARRMA model. No specialist tools or expertise is required.
- What material are these covers made from? — These gearbox covers and shock tower are manufactured from tough composite material, which offers an excellent balance of lightweight construction, impact resistance, and durability. Composite materials provide superior vibration damping compared to metal, helping maintain suspension geometry and handling consistency during intense driving.
- Can I use these as upgrades on an older ARRMA vehicle? — These covers are designed as replacement parts for the models listed. If you own an older ARRMA vehicle not listed in the compatibility chart, contact RC Model Shop to verify whether these components will work with your specific model, as chassis designs and mounting points can vary between generations.
